looks like mama coyote in the field behind my house had a big litter!

I heard them for the first time this year, a train came by (about 1500 yards away) and blew it's whistle/horn thing, and all of a sudden I hear tons of baby coyote cries!

There's a reason everyone in the neighborhood has labs and german shepards instead of Shi-Tzus!

They are ballsy brave dogs (most of the time). I've had a couple and both will stand up for themselves, be recklessy brave trying to steal food from bigger dogs, and don't mind getting a little dirty.

But, they can be real cowards if the big dog they're showing off too snaps back. One of them had a scare with this one big dog, and after that every time that one dog would be brought over the little shi-tzu would go into the farthest bedroom from the family room and hide under the bed shivering!

Our sub-division is the last one before farm country...almond orchards, peach orchards, dairies with their associated hay and corn fields, etc.

We can hear the coyotes singing most evenings.

We have red foxes that live just outside the subdivision and at the college campus 1/2 mile from me.

They don't howl, but they do yip from time to time. (distinctive from the yipping of coyotes)

We have coyotes in our neighborhood as well though not as many anymore. Damn developers bladed hundreds of acres of desert around us.

I've seen 1 coyote in my life, and that was close to being in Baltimore city :^O We have them in MD, but not too many.

I think that if I heard coyotes right behind my house, I'd be inserting the clip into the 22. Of course, if my neighbor heard them, I wouldn't have to bother. He'd enjoy taking out another coyote family. We're right next to 1000's of acres of state forest. Plenty of coyotes. But, if any den too close to us, good bye.

we don't have too many coyotes out here because the wolves and the cougars think they taste like chicken. for some reason the coyotes don't come close to the house, but the cougars love to play in our back yard.

where i live you don't leave dogs outside unless you are looking for a new dog the next day.

i guess they don't really like the terrain around my house.

view across from my house

sometimes you can hear the wolves, we have a wolf reserve near us, but the bears and the cougars (oh and some little foxes) are what we see most.

i see more coyotes when i go to anaheim at the end of each year. they jump in the backyards of the houses and kill the little dogs.

Yeah, I'd be taking them out with my 30 06 if I had a ranch... and didn't live in unincorporated king county... and had livestock. Hm.

i'm next to thousands of acres of gov't land, occasionally hear coyotes, but mostly it's the javelinas that i see. that or a rancher's cattle (ranching leases, yay!)

local county commissioner wants to have bowhunters shoot the javelinas and barbecue them for local food shelters. FDA says no.

You would get stuck with the bill.

Cheaper method to just make some jerky.

Really? What state do you live in? Not in MA, and not in my town. Animal control comes out of the taxpayer's budget.
