Pallets in fields

[RobertBrown]

I regret that the "History of Science" is no longer included in the core curriculum. Had you young scientists taken this course, you would have realized that this conjecture is without merit. Pythagoras addressed the question, "Does a bear go in the woods?" in 500 BC. He proved that bears and other undomesticated land-based mammals that were native to Greece indeed go in the woods. Subsequent research by his followers, the Pythagoreans, has shown that his proof is not specific to Greece, but is general, extending to all undomesticated land-based mammals with access to forests.

Sooo..... Pythagoras had a theory too then... eh?
Remember! He also said this.

It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.[

Over twenty on various properties - Oh come on guys thats the BIG clue. A really BIG clue. That means there are over 40 pallets, now you get it? Notice any fences? He also travels ON various properties not BY various properties another BIG clue. I almost got it, almost almost, , ,

Ummmm let's see....it must be......it must be that..... Sparc is peeing on the pallets?
No..... no..... say it ain't so, txdon....say it ain't so

The "Squirrelly Alarmists" should heed this thought from Pythagoras:

As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.Pythagoras Quotes - BrainyQuote

I have doubts about this coyote-dog pallet pinkle theory. Are we to suppose that dogs and coyotes run around with full bladders waiting for someone to provide pallets? Your investigation hinges on determining the primary cause of the described pinkling. How will you eliminate common territorial and communicative marking from the scenario? I hope you can find a scientific method of experiment to determine the root behavior causes.

Okay tomorrow I'll set up another set a few hundred feet away to test this .. Hey at least I'm actually experimenting ...

I was just going to suggest "blind testing", like a blind taste test, you know. In this case, you catch a coyote and put a bag over its head.

Try to remember....no plastic bags!
Now that I think of it, a blindfold might be better.

I agree, but I believe that the scientific method requires "blind testing," and the "bagging" should be recorded via video. In addition, blueriver (or the executor/executrix of his estate) should post the video to this thread.
