A coyote dragged deer remains onto his porch at night

The immediate question now facing the homeowner — and others in similar situations — is whether this was a one-time event or the sign of a regular coyote route passing through the property. Wildlife specialists generally advise documenting repeat sightings and contacting local animal control services if activity continues or escalates. Whether the coyote returns, and whether it brings more evidence of its nightly hunts, remains to be seen.
