Re: coyotes
obviously not enough coyotes were I am, the City of Dublin recently spent a couple hundred bucks on plastic ones to leave in the parks to scare away the geese.

Re: coyotes
Around here they use what look like black plastic/metal dogs....perhaps they are supposed to be coyotes. They do not scare the geese off at all....the geese take no notice of them.

Re: coyotes
About the only thing that really bothers them is a Remington SP 10

Re: coyotes
Have you ever seen them kill something? I was playing golf one time in Mesa. Two of them cornered some kind of big bird on someones patio. It took them all of 2 seconds to rip this thing to bits. Feathers flying everywhere. Not a sound, just carnage. Do not mess with them.
Presume it wasnt a road runner bird then with an anvil

Re: coyotes
Here in West Seattle there is something of a coyote invasion, more and more sightings reported, and more in the daylight hours. A cat taken and eaten from some ones veranda, and most recently a dog attacked in a fenced back yard. We are keeping the cats in at night these days.
This is not something any department of city government is bothered about, so they are just left to breed and go through garbage and attack household pets.
There is discussion about what should be done, from nothing from coyote huggers, to drugging and moving to the mountains to killing the bastards. I,'m all for wild life in the wild but they can sod off out of the city, this is our manor.
Any other cities under the menace of coyotes?

BTW, the term "coyote" is slang on the southern border for alien smugglers. [The smuglees are "pollos."] So I did a double-take at your caption.

Re: coyotes
Where's there one - there's usually a few not too far away.
Around here they're becoming more and more brazen. Last month, a local man was briefly attacked by 3 of them and was given 9 shots "everything from rabies to tetnus" as he quipped ... They're cunning b'stards, usually one or two will try to play with your dog and lure it to where a pack awaits, and game over.

Just a few days ago my friends dog was attacked by a coyote in Dallas.The poor thing. They've lived there for years and never had an issue.
