Coyotes…

[Rhodemont]

We have a couple packs around.  When they get yipping it can be quite a loud  show.  There is/was one big dude, seemed to be a loner.  As long as I was in the Gator or on the tractor he would stand me down.  As soon as I stepped out he would trot off.  Well, we can not use center fire here so mine sit idle most of the time.  But, on occasion I will put them to use.  That big dude was getting bold so the Winchester Model 70 Deer Slayer put an end to the situation.

I found Coyote droppings in my back yard yesterday, and I live in town.  Of course, they do too.

Some years ago they did a study on urban coyotes in Cook County, Illinois (Chicago area). They caught coyotes and fitted them with tracking collars. The ones that got GPS units could be located at any time just by going to the computer. Several times they found coyotes that were spending their days sleeping under house porches. One was in tall grass between a busy road and a walkway with people walking by (IIRC) about 40' away.

neighbor had a calf born in pasture last night and when he got to it this morning coyotes had killed it,

With the wolf population growing around here it is getting pretty rare to see or hear a coyote.

Been 3 recently hanging around near my brother's. Down the end of a long narrow field is thick softwood plantation with rabbits everywhere. I suspect the coyotes know where lunch is. I think it is coyote breading season now to.
