At the risk of straying from the topic, I thought I'd mention that coyotes killed a deer at dad's place this week. Apparently a doe tried jumping over the barbed wire fence of his pasture, and didn't make it over. She got her back legs hung up and tangled in the wire. Wednesday night, my mom came out of the house and heard the coyotes going crazy. She had never heard them sounding so strange, and even called dad out to listen. I guess they took advantage of the trapped doe, and devoured her hindquarters while she was still hung up on the fence.
If they show themselves within range, it's their mistake.
