We have lived here for 11 years and heard coyotes occassionaly in this distance. But in the past few months a pack of coyotes have come closer to the residences. In yards and just outside our privacy fence, every night they are close. I am concerned that with many children in this neighborhood this could become a problem situation very quickly. Along with people's pets. I keep an eye on my smaller dog at night. Is this a temporary migration or a long term situation? My address is 8316 Peabody Road, Freeburg, Illinois. Thanks
