Five coyotes could be seen in the same clip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThey\u2019re like an organized gang,\u201d he tells FOX5. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">At first, Workman thought a neighbor didn\u2019t clean up after their dog during a walk. \u201cI thought it was a huge dog,\u201d Workman said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Once he checked the surveillance cameras, he made the discovery: a pack circled outside his home and made themselves at home on his lawn. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThat\u2019s one of the biggest [coyotes] we\u2019ve seen,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Why would a coyote leave their mark? <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">FOX5 asked the Nevada Department of Wildlife for insight. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cMany species of wildlife mark their territory. It\u2019s just like a signpost: \u2018hey now, you\u2019re in my country,\u2019\u201d said Doug Nielsen of NDOW. Predatory animals tend to have a territory, and they patrol that territory. And then they\u2019ll probably remark it,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">What\u2019s the best way to drive away coyotes? <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">NDOW has guides on removing attractants&#8211; from pet food, to running water&#8211; and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndow.org\/blog\/living-with-coyotes\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.ndow.org\/blog\/living-with-coyotes\/\">\u201chazing\u201d: that includes yelling, noise makers, or even blow horns.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cYou have to be consistent, persistent, and you can\u2019t be timid with it,\u201d Nielsen said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">NDOW also recommends fencing to keep coyotes out, or even motion sensor lights. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">For more information, click here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndow.org\/blog\/living-with-coyotes\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.ndow.org\/blog\/living-with-coyotes\/\">Living With Coyotes<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 KVVU.
