About Prescott Lakes Community Association
Acres of rolling hills. Endless blue sky. Pine-covered mountains. Glistening, calm lakes. In this glorious high desert landscape, is our Prescott Lakes Community of 1,100 acres with a variety of unique neighborhoods. Our fresh air is invigorating at 5,400 feet, and the views of the surrounding mountains are spectacular. Prescott Lakes is located within Prescott city limits, near Willow Lake, Watson Lakes, and the spectacular Granite Dells. The Club at Prescott Lakes boasts a 210-acre, Hale Irwin signature, 18-hole golf course and a 12,000 square foot Athletic Club featuring a fitness center, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, pickleball courts, a meeting room, and lounge area. A beautiful club house opened in 2012, with stunning views, bar, dining room, pro shop, and meeting rooms. Prehistoric petroglyphs abound in and around the many walking and hiking trails of Prescott Lakes.
Known as “Everybody’s Hometown,” the City of Prescott is surrounded on three sides by the Prescott National Forest, and is situated amid the world’s largest stand of ponderosa pines. Residents benefit from four mild seasons, allowing for the enjoyment of many year-around outdoor activities. The nearby Granite Mountain Wilderness area is ideal for hiking, camping, mountain biking, fishing, and horseback riding. Founded in 1864 and named as Arizona’s territorial capital, Prescott has maintained its rich heritage as evidenced by fabled Whiskey Row, the downtown historic districts, and the World’s Oldest Rodeo. Prescott has consistently been named by national publications one of the best places to live. We agree!

COYOTE ENCOUNTER
Letter from Jackie Landtiser Addressing Coyote Encounter
November 10, 2021
To the Prescott Lakes Management Team and Prescott Lakes Board of Directors:
There have been many rumors about what happened with the coyote attacks in the Prescott Lakes Community. I was one of the victims of the aggressive coyote, and I would like to share with you the knowledge I have of the events of that day. The two additional people I refer to, Ray and Vinnie, are both residents within our community. I personally spoke with them regarding their own encounter with the coyote.
On Sunday, October 17th three Prescott Lakes residents were attacked by this aggressive coyote.
Ray’s encounter: At approximately at 7:30 am, Ray, who resides at 1262 Crown Ridge, was walking on his street towards Northridge when a coyote attacked him from behind. The coyote bit at his lower leg. Ray was wearing loose fitting fleece lined fitness pants, and the coyote bit into those missing Ray’s flesh. Ray punched the coyote. The coyote retreated back for a moment growling and showing its teeth and then lunged toward Ray.Ray gave the coyote a swift kick. The coyote ran off after that.
My (Jackie’s) Encounter: At approximately 8:15 am, I was jogging on Northridge passing by the new build across from 1456, when I felt something bite my right calf. When I turned and looked behind me, I realized it was a coyote. The coyote aggressively lunged toward me. Using my knee to block its movement, I was able to then give it a swift kick. It ran off towards the Golf Course. Within 5 mins of my incident, my husband Rollie and Matt Butler (resident of Prescott Lakes) who were leaving to go hunting together happen to be driving down Northridge and saw me. Upon learning of the coyote attack, Matt called 911 to report the aggressive and possibly rabid coyote. Matt arranged for the police and related departments (Animal Control and Fish and Game) to response to his residence to set up a command post if necessary. In the meantime, before Rollie and I went to the ER, we drove on Northridge warning walking residents of the aggressive and possibly rabid coyote attacking people.
Once at the ER we were met by Animal Control who took a report of the incident. Rollie and I had learned more about the additional encounters, and we were able to provide Animal Control with the information.
Vinnie’s Encounter: At approximately 9:00 am, Vinnie was walking her dog on Smoketree across from the golf course {18th hole) when she heard golfers yelling at her to watch out as there was a coyote behind her. When she turned around, her dog {medium size) was ready to fully engage the coyote and pulled her down to the ground as she gripped the leash tightly. The coyote taunted the dog for several seconds and then took off. Vinnie sustained injuries to her knee and fingers.
Rollie and I were very concerned about more residents being aggressively attacked within our community. With the approval of Animal Control, Rollie notified the Prescott Lakes golf shop and individuals living within Prescott Lakes to go out and provide additional eyes, ears, and safety to our residents. Those individuals were Matt Butler, Bill Tymchak, Dave Ball and Dave Burkheimer.
These individuals were instrumental in providing the safety to our residents. They patrolled the area warning numerous residents who were walking or outside of their homes of the aggressive coyote. They also were looking for the animal.
When Animal Control arrived on scene, they did not have any of the gate codes to get in. Dave Ball and Dave Burkheimer provided them with all the gate codes as well as an update of the situation. When Fish and Game arrived, they did not have the gate codes either. Matt Butler provided them with the gate codes. Matt Butler also met with Animal Control and Fish and Game to provide them with updates of the current situation.
I believe due to the swift response and actions by the above individuals, along with the HOAMCO Community notification alert emails no one else was attacked. Rollie and I both coming from law enforcement careers believe that often times the strength of the community lies within the volunteers who live within it. This situation surely proved that.
Lastly, I was treated at the ER for 4 bite punctures on my right calf, given oral antibiotics, and the first set of rabies shots. As of this date I have one rabies shot to complete.
Thank you for your time in reading this letter. If I can provide any further information or answer any questions, please feel free to contact me either through email or my cell phone.
Sincerelv,
Jackie Landtiser
