If you’re a resident of Broomfield, Colorado then you’ve probably had a chance to at least seen a coyote over the past few years. This spring the coyotes in our neck of the woods are getting a bit more brazen than in past years.

My wife was recently running on a trail in Broomfield with our dog George. She looked back to see George surrounded by 3 coyotes not a few inches away. Dog and wife started running (maybe not the best choice) away, and believe it or not the coyotes pursued for about 30 seconds. It took some serious screaming on Michelle’s part to get them to stop the chase.

Now our dog is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, so he may have approached the coyotes as potential playmates, and they may have been protecting their young. But to actually chase after someone for that amount of time seems a bit unusual.

Fair warning: keep an eye out for coyotes in Broomfield! Sometimes we get reminders that we share colorful Colorado with lots of wildlife.
