You see it happen more and more now. Coyote attacks on pets. As the spread of human civilization meets up the need for Coyote hunting territory, the survival for the Coyote is confusing as it may perceive your pet as a threat or competition against its territory.
Now hunting and trapping Coyotes are allowed statewide in Michigan but only during set seasons. However, if issues arise with a Coyote or a pack of Coyotes outside of hunting or trapping seasons, they can be killed without a license on private land by the landowner, especially if the Coyote becomes a dangerous threat to livestock, pets and humans on private property.
