So this evening , around 6:00pm, I head outside to put wood in the OWB for the night. I turn on the lights to the back of the house, step outside and I'm serenaded by 4 or 5 coyotes perhaps no more than 100 feet for the house. Man, that gave me the willies. I believe it was fastest I've ever serviced the OWB; less than 5 minutes. Generally it takes 5 but no more than 10 minutes to service it. Roger
We live right across from 3600 acres that makes up Potato Creek State Park in Northern Indiana, some night you may hear as many as 3-5 different packs coming from all the compass points.
Coyotes are cowards, we’ve lost one calf over the years to coyotes, momma was stupid, baby was even stupider, they could call to one another but unless they seen one another they would walk away from each other, must have happened in the dead of night but baby walked away from momma. Momma got a trip to McDonalds. We usually leave the horns on one or two cows that we know came from overly protective momma’s, have only ever lost one calf. I’ve seen a few of those momma’s with horns really mess up a canadian geese or two that got too close to their calves in the spring.
Place a few straw bales in an open field, once the field mice find there way under the bales it will draw coyotes in then open season on em as a nuisance animal.
So thick around here my dogs don’t even pay attention to em anymore when they are raising hell in the middle of the night.
