where are the coyotes?

Same thing we see here...less rabbits, more coyotes. The coyotes can survive on peoples garbage whereas rabbits and turkey can't. Kill them down to reasonable numbers I say...and kill I do.

This might lighten things up here a bit - at my wife's expense.

Yesterday, after getting back from Wisconsin, she was out on the patio and came flying into the house screaming "There's a coyote in the yard!" We live in suburban Wheaton, and coyotes are a rare sight indeed! I looked out the window just in time to see a flash of red going around the side of the house.

I went to the front door to see a red fox trotting down the street headed for the prairie path - and I swear he was shaking his head and laughing at the ruckus he caused, and at having been mistaken for a coyote!

Fall approaches! Can't wait.

Theeeey're Baaaaack! I heard them screaming around 10:30pm last night. Time to sight in the rifle! I'm NOT going to listen to them all winter again. There is a few hundred acres of woods behind the back yard, so they need to stay there. I figure a few shots in their direction, even if I don't hit one, should discourage them from coming around here.

If you hear them maybe you can call them in closer.

I used to call them with an old cassett player and tape from Cabellas. Got one to come in real close once but then got a severe case of buck fever and shot right over it's back.
