Coyote mating season in Illinois 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 as these animals search for mates and establish their territories.

To minimize unwanted interactions with wildlife, it is advised that people remain vigilant of their surroundings, supervise pets closely, and avoid leaving food outside.

Further information on coyote-related incidents can be found in various news outlets. One such story is available at ABC7 Chicago's website.
