Fox Island Coyote Central

Post a Coyote Sighting or incident here

FICRA has now established a Crime reporting page on their website ficra.org. 
This is NOT the FICRA Crime Watch Page

The purpose of this page is for Island residents to share information about coyote sightings, lost pets suspected to be coyote related, and other information that will be used by Federal Agencies to control the coyote over-population problem on Fox Island.

Thank you,
John Ohlson, Webmaster.

How Can You Help?
The USDA (Department of Agriculture) provides a fee-based service to remove the problem coyotes here on the Island.  This service will cost approximately $5000 over the first year to get the current overpopulation problem under control, and less on an annual basis to keep the coyote population under control.

This opportunity has been the topic of discussion recently on the Fox Island News Facebook page, and many people are willing to donate money to pay the fees. 
The best way to help contribute to the coyote removal effort, is to donate $25 or $50 towards the Fox Island Coyote Control Fund.
  This money will be pooled and used to resolve hot spots with a heavy concentration of coyotes first.

Coyote Control Fund
