Coyote mating season in Illinois typically takes place in late February and early March. During this period, residents may observe increased activity and vocalizations from coyotes, particularly during the evening and early morning hours. This behavior is part of their search for mates and the establishment of territories.

To minimize unwanted interactions with these animals, it is advised to stay aware of your surroundings, supervise pets closely, and refrain from leaving food outside.
