Coyote Management meeting set for Nov. 28 in Girard
Native American folklore describes the coyote as being a savvy and clever beast. Today, coyotes show that cleverness as they have adapted to the changing American landscape. Coyotes once lived primarily in the open prairies and deserts, but now roam all of North America including many cities. Coyotes have adapted so well that their population is believed to be at an all-time high.
The Wildcat Extension District will host a free public meeting on Coyote Management on Nov. 28 at the Girard High School from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Registration starts at 6 p.m. and the program will begin around 6:30. The high school is located at 415 North Summit in Girard, Kansas.
Charlie Lee, K-State Wildlife Damage Control Specialist, will discuss coyote behavior and biology, give tips on calling coyotes, and will discuss how to trap coyotes. Please RSVP to the Independence office at 620-331-2690 by Nov. 27.
Please join us Nov. 28 to learn more about coyotes and how to effectively control them in your area.
