The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources say there have been an increase in coyote sightings in rural and urban areas across Kentucky as a result of the winter mating season, which peaks in February and March.
Wildlife biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Laura Palmer, says these sightings usually increase through July.
Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources suggests to plug holes under fences, block access to crawl spaces and fences around yards and gardens to help avoid coyotes.
Pet owners should turn on outside lights and check the yard for unwanted animals before letting their pets outside. Coyotes are prone to kill small house pets.
Coyotes have been common in Kentucky for at least the past 50 years and are found in every state, except Hawaii.
