Oh yea.......saw one last week, Tuesday or Wednesday at 7:45 a.m. at the corner of Madison Street and Benton Streets in downtown Oswego. That's the first coyote I've seen, but we have a number of red foxes that brazenly walk down the street during daytime hours.

I have not seen them, but I hear them often at night. I live in Churchill with my house backing up to the open field along Wolfe. I have heard the pack as recent as two nights ago.

I saw one run into the field just North of Oswego East last week.

They were loudly howling outside our windows last night. We are off Reservation. Woke the kids up.

We live in Old Reserve Hills south of town. We see and hear coyotes all the time. They usually start howling right after sunset and based on what we are hearing, I would say there are dozens of them in several packs. In our subdivision 3 dogs and one cat were attacked just last year. Only one dog survived but he was severely injured. I expect this trend to continue and maybe get worse. Coyotes can kill dogs much larger than they are, especially when they attack as a group. Be very careful when letting your pets out, especially after dark but the attacks can occur at anytime of the day.

Subdivisions were built on the homes of coyotes. There was once a den in the middle of what is now Lakewood Valley. Coyotes are creatures of habit...they come back to their home. It is unsettling to hear their howls at night, but it is just a reminder to stay alert.

This is really stupid. Obviously there are coyotes in small town like Oswego. It's centered around a small river, and surrounded by cornfields where the wild animals used to live before we took their land. You guys are ridiculous haha

Yes, during the day and it was walking down Otter Street in Fox Chase!

Saw a rather large coyote crossing Otter Way just south of Wolverine this morning. It went into someone's back yard and their motion-sensing light went on.

I can't believe this article doesn't mention anything about leaving your small dogs unattended in your yards. Keep an eye on your dogs when letting them out of the house, and do not assume they are safe if you have a fence! They can easily get over a 6 foot fence.

Hard to beat the fun of hunting coyotes or better known as Deer & Pet killers. Oswegoans would be shocked to learn there are wolves are popping in our surrounding counties, with sightings in Kendall, as well as Mountain Lions.

I saw one walking down the middle of Main Street, a scraggly one on another day on Chicago Ave., and several sitings off Orchard Rd. north of the tracks.

i live on maple lane farm right of of 71 and at nighttime there are a couple i can hear them at night.

It's not stupid, it's interesting to know about what the wildlife is doing around here.

I've heard a pack of them about 2 months ago behind Meijer on Ogden as I leave in Churchill sub division and my house backs up tp the wet lands they also run the path at night

May be a fox, have seen one cruising around town, its not afraid of people

Mountain Lions and Wolves???? Where are you getting your facts on this

This is some what funny to me. On a nightly basis the Coyote pack runs right behind my house between the subdivision of Black Berry Knoll and the one that is located behind me which is Yorkville. It seems there is about 6-8 at times are have a ball as they run since almost like playing and jumping as they run by, we seen then for about 8 years now.

We have several coyotes in the Na-Au-Say Woods subdivision(Reservation/Chippewa Drive).

I had a coyote at my front door when we lived in Naperville and in front of my building when I worked in Wheaton. They're always all over the place. I didn't know it was really newsworthy.

I saw several coyotes crossing Roth Rd. near Wolf's Crossing

These sightings would explain why the rabbit population is dropping around me. 3-4 years ago, I had 2-3 dens (warrens?) living in my yard....haven't seen a rabbit in the neightborhood (Lakewood Valley) in weeks.

The rabbits have moved to my neighborhood Village Square or Hometown as we were once called off of 31 we live in the single family homes in the back of the subdivision and we have tons of rabbits. I did see a coyote in our yard last year it was about 630- 7 in the morning

I'm in grande reserve and you can see them and hear them almost every night. I have seen them by the pond by the clubhouse.

one was lurking around my back yard last night around 10 pm-Wolverine Dr and Bucktail

I've seen some cougars in Oswego lately. I advise that when walking on trails, travel in groups, be aware of your surroundings, and keep your 20-30 year old sons under a watchful eye...you just never know where a "cougar" might be...

They are in Grande Park, put us on the map. Just west of the school campus.

I have seen a coyote pair several times over the last year on my 5am walks. Usually around Hafenrichter and Eola or Hafenrichter and Barrington Dr East, and sometimes in the subdivisions themselves. Also, one brave soul in my neighbor's back yard at 2pm...two dogs barking wildy. Didn't care. It's just creepy because they aren't afraid of people at all. In fact, I feel like they are rolling their eyes at me and my barking dog as they trot by with looks of disdain....

We occasionally see them in our neighborhood in Park Place. Usually only one, sometimes a pair.

Two sighted in Yorkville Greenbriar subdivision in front of my culdesac and another one sighted up near our subdivision entrance. Please remember these are wild animals and will attack dogs and humans. They do not seem to fear us at all. Imagine if you were out walking your dog or at the park with your child and one did attack you. Getting the word out and being aware is a good thing instead of making a joke out of it. You wouldn't be laughing if a pet or a human were attacked.

Ilive in the Od Reserve subdivision and they are always in our area. Last year a 2 coyotes approched my husband while having our yorkies in the back yard. The grabbed my Elly May and killed her and ran offf with her. My husband saved the other yorkie before the coyote got her too. Last night around (:30 pm, they where here again and attacking something. You could hear the fighting going on bad and the there was dead silence. Its awful and I miss my Elly so much, I still cry when I think about the way she died.
