Coyote mating season in Illinois takes place in late February and early March. During this period, coyotes become more active and visible as they search for mates and establish territories. Residents may notice increased movement and howling from these animals, particularly during the evening and early morning hours.

To prevent unwanted interactions with wildlife, it is advised to remain aware of surroundings, keep pets supervised, and avoid leaving food outdoors.
