(Guessing they go for the fawns?)

Yeah, even a family of coyotes would have to be pretty desperate to try for an adult deer, but fawns are fair game for solos or pairs for sure.

The back to back neighborhood Facebook group is always sadly amusing when there is a post about someone seeing a coyote and the next one is someone else whose outdoor cat hasn't shown up...

They'll go for small dogs too. We had a string of beagles when I was a kid and they really needed an escort in the back fields. Honestly surprised we never had one killed while haring off after a rabbit, but we did have a coyote follow one all the way up into the yard one time - which meant crossing a lot more occupied land back then since the farm behind us was still semi-active rather than the abandoned ruin it is now. Dad popped off a couple of shots and the coyote legged it, that was the closest I've seen one to the house since this morning.

Lot more coyotes back in the 80s than now, but they have made a bit of a comeback in the last decade. I hear a small group singing sometimes way out back. It's for the best, some of the prey animal populations need controlling - even if I do like the turkeys.

I know up here in MN in the 90's Coyotes were drop on sight. Not sure if that has changed. Im more of a city dweller since I was a kid.

Well, yeah. If you've got vulnerable livestock that's almost a given no matter what the law might say about it. We don't raise chickens or rabbits or goats any more, and as far as I'm concerned the coyotes are welcome to kill all the groundhogs, beavers and squirrels they can catch. I don't like the idea of losing turkeys to them but nature doesn't care about my preferences and we aren't doing mass bird-feeding like we once did so it's not like we're luring the poor things in.

The neighbors' pets are their own lookout, but AFAIK there are no outdoor cats nearby and the dogs next door are A) big and B) rarely outdoors anyway.

And now I've got a multimedia crossover show stuck in my head, in which Wile E. Coyote tries ever-more-elaborate ways to trap and kill the groundhog, only to wake up and find that it's the same morning again and the pesky thing's alive and well and taunting him.

EDIT - Wile E. Coyote voiced by Bill Murray.

An early issue of Grant Morrison’s run on Animal Man told the story of how the Coyote was exiled to the real world as the Creator of the cartoon world’s price for granting peace and rest to the Coyote’s fellow cartoon. A wonderful work.

Twist: Wile E. Coyote only starts using Bill Murray's voice after devouring an obvious Garfield knock-off in the opening scene.

Did the Ads Recently Change on this Site (New Pop Ups)

Earlier this morning when I logged onto thhe I would see ads on my screen which is compeltely fine. I have no problems with advertising because you gotta pay the rent. But this evening, I'm getting pop up ads on the site. When I open the site I get pop ups, when I click on a new thread I get...

This popped up a while ago and seems to be a place to give the feedback on ads being trouble?

Issue 5, "Coyote Gospel" - a precursor to Buddy's own encounter with his (current) creator Morrison at the end of the series. Very metatextual and a great read unto itself.

If we're talking media Coyotes, the one in Gunnerkrigg Court has been interesting as well.
