The Lyon County Extension Office is hosting a series of informational events over the next few weeks, and the most recent one to pass was Calling All Coyotes.
Calling All Coyotes was an informational lecture hosted at the Clint Bowyer Community Building to expand on the different topics surrounding the namesake animal, the coyote.
Extension Wildlife Specialist Charlie Lee was the presenter for the evening. Lee says coyote numbers, locally, are increasing. The animal does provide both hazards and benefits, says Lee.
Subjects at the lecture varied from calling and trapping methods to the coyote’s behavior. Given their local population, many people see or hear coyotes on a frequent basis. Here’s what to do if you encounter one, according to Lee:
Coming up for the Lyon County Extension Office will be the 2020 Soybean School on Jan. 21 and the Grant-Writing Workshop on Jan. 23. Registration for both extends through Jan. 16. Call the Extension Office at (620) 341-3220 to RSVP for either of the events or to obtain more information.
