Local Expert: How to deal with coyote sightings

If you encounter a coyote, the State Department of Environmental Conversation recommends you be aggressive, stand tall, and hold your arms up or out. If the coyote lingers around you for too long, make loud noises, wave your arms, or throw sticks and stones.

If a coyote is on your property, especially during daytime, and is exhibiting signs of bold behavior, you are encouraged to contact the local Regional DEC Wildlife Office in Avon at (585)-226-5390.
