BOISE, Idaho (KBOI2) — A protective mamma coyote isn't messing around in the Boise Foothills.
Ridge to Rivers said recently that it's received two reports of a coyote following hikers and tussling with dogs along Crestline Trail in the Boise Foothills trail system.
"Idaho Fish and Game suspects that there is likely a den nearby and that the response from the coyote is a result of that," Ridge to Rivers said on social media.
The Crestline Trail is a very popular hiking and mountain biking trail along the ridge line of the foothills near the North End of Boise. Officials are encouraging trail users to keep dogs leashed in the area or avoid it.
