The Eastern coyote is common in every county in the state, according to wildlife officials. They have been known to kill house cats and get in fights with dogs.
Officials say people should keep pets and pet food inside at night to reduce the chance of an encounter.
There has never been a report of a coyote attacking a person in New Hampshire, according to wildlife officials. The state allows the hunting of coyotes.
