Coyote sighting

Here is a pic of the mangy coyote. I like coyotes and enjoy hearing them. But this desperate fella got too close to the house and pets. Ick.

I'm in a highly populated urban area and we have coyotes in the subdivision.
A neighbor lost a dog to them and the Mrs took out our mailbox watching one across the street one morning...

Another coyote was eying Mrs Chad and our pup Scout in the front yard.

This is the only Coyote I like seeing in the driveway every morning...

We can always tell when they are in the area, but lately they've been MIA. Rabbits, squirrels, etc. are plentiful. Usual sign the yotes aren't taking up residence nearby. Fox on the other hand, are nightly visitors!

Had one pass through the back yard a couple of years back. Wasn't running it got out of sight far quicker than I could retrieve e gun. This was in a suburb of Birmingham.

I once saw a pack of 6 running right up the middle of the street, past the police station. They took a left at the convenience store and ran up the street off into the neighborhood.

We have the opposite in our neighborhood, coyotes have moved in. Not a rabbit or squirrel in sight. The feral cat that used to cruise by has disappeared. The local 'yotes still seem to be wary of humans, hope it stays that way.

We have a fair amount of them here in East Tennessee. My yard runs right up to the woods and they use it as cross over between the woods and a large swamp. I would see and hear them regularly till about 3 years ago when they went silent. Still see them and actually more often but no noise. They did not howl much just those cackling little yeps but now days they are very quiet. They do keep the cat population well in check.

We average a few every week on our property. Have entire packs in our driveway at night.

I live on the edge of a very large state park that has a healthy deer population with coyotes to match. Occasionally, I see one crossing my street. I don't leave my dogs alone in the yard.

I don't own an pets or livestock and appreciate all the wild critters I get to see out and about. Our local mule deer population is doing well, I see them almost daily down along the river at the rifle club I frequent three days a week. With snow on the ground I like to read the paw prints, we have lots or critters but coyotes are the most common, had a bobcat on the property last year and a cougar a couple years ago. Predators are doing just fine in the part of the country. I have a couple friends that shoot them with infra-red at night, one of them killed sixty last year. There is no money in it anymore, he leaves them lay unless he has an agreement with the land owner to remove the dead dog. Used to be you could get twenty bucks just for the dead dog.
