We've got 'em here, too. I don't think any animal can adapt to different surroundings as well as a coyote...except maybe a cockroach. Wait a minute...a cockroach is an insect, right?
Anyway, there was a bumper sticker put out by the Utah Wool Growers Association that was quite popular in this state not too long ago. It read:
"Eat Utah Lamb. One Million Coyotes Can't Be Wrong!"
I was riding one of the mules up the canyon not too far from our place the other day and saw one a couple of hundred yards away. Unfortunately, I wasn't packing my rifle or that ol' boy would've been lashed down to the back of my saddle. At least, that's what I hope would've happened. Our state has a fifty dollar bounty on the critters. And believe me...it's well deserved.
