These urban coyotes were doing what was described in the article you posted. I wish I had saw it then.
The tiny amount of land between my Condo and I-95 was inhabited by a pack of 6-8 Coyotes. They honestly did not bother me, but a couple of cats went missing, then the duck population plummeted.
I did a few things.
I pointed construction lights inward at the plot of land they were using.
I put smelling salts on their trails.
I air horned them every-time they started howling loudly.
I was trying to annoy them out...unsuccessfully.
It was when I was in the woods sprinkling smelling salts one day that I felt something watching me. I then saw this Coyote bird-dogging me. Can you see him picture#1? Picture#2 is same pic just blown up.
you see him now! lol
This is within a 1/4 mile of Linton Blvd and I-95. Highly Urban.
