Coyote In Superior Colorado [Pictures]

I just took these pictures near Coalton and Indiana as the coyote headed into Community Park in Superior CO.

I try to walk 3 miles around Superior almost everyday since I have lived here for the past 10 years. I sighted my first coyote in Superior last winter which was kind of fun to see. However this winter alone I have spotted a coyote out on my walks about once a week, it is no longer ‘fun’ to see them since I walk around lunch time while coyotes should be resting. Now to hear that a pack of coyotes has been spotted hurting something really freaks me out.

We have always had a family of rabbits in our yard since we don’t have a dog, but for the past few months I have not seen one. Perhaps it is wishful thinking that after the coyotes are done eating up the food source they will leave.

I understand that the Colorado Division of Wildlife will not send in sharp shooters in to kill aggressive coyotes until someone gets hurt like last winter when a 38-year-man in Broomfield was attacked.

Do we have to wait to read about someone being attacked in the newspaper to act? I am in favor of being proactive to keep our children safe.
