We are in Texas, we have lots of coyots in the river bottoms, we can hear them sing at night. Some young boys came by one day and it was getting dark, couple years back. They were going back home from fishing and going through the woods. They said they got to looking around and all kinds of eyes were on them so they got out back to the road. They called their folks from our house to come and get them. I'm sure it scared them. My husband said he thinks some of then may be cydogs.
Over in the Woodlands they have wild hog problems. They get guys in at times to kill them. I've seen some skulls of big ones.
This afternoon my chickens were going crazy and not going in the roost. my dog and I headed to the chicken house, big coon out there. BJ took him on with the coon standing up. I didn't know my big old dog could be that vicious, hubby said he was surprised because a coon will kill a dog. BJ is about 70 pounds and he ran him off.
