I marvel at their tenacity at times and raise my guard at others. Smart as a fox and nearly the size of a wolf in some cases the coyote is an animal I respect and fear at the same time. <br /><br />@Shoreman: For the record I support coyote hunting in Colorado but detest bait-traps or shooting them from helicopters. This animal deserves enough respect to hunt on foot vs. paw…until a line is crossed. A clan of Broomfield latrans were attacking people with incidents being recorded once a week it seemed. Sometimes you have to take the gloves off. <br /><br />@Cofisher: Broomfield is where I hear the most incidents and where coyotes were recently removed. The area is beautiful and with so much natural open space I don’t blame them so much for trying to defend it. Hopefully the attacks are limited to one group now removed. <br /><br />@Bill Trussell: That is the stuff! Coyotes are curious creatures and that can be their downfall. Population control benefits the coyote and patches of open space or urban areas that they dwell within. <br /><br />@DocOutlaw: Excellent comment and every creature (even most humans) deserve respect and area to roam. The coyote has earned its niche in the wild and even in our neighborhoods whether we want to admit that or not. The scary part is that they are losing their fear of humans in a few places.Coloradocastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09119352004897572752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337379767320336838.post-59525262281026940292011-11-28T18:05:58.042-08:002011-11-28T18:05:58.042-08:00I have to say, I kind of miss seeing coyotes ever ...I have to say, I kind of miss seeing coyotes ever since I moved to the east coast from CO. We have them here, but they are a lot sneakier. Seeing them always made it feel more rustic.Doc Outlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06876033645432147692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337379767320336838.post-28903053005489834722011-11-27T12:52:18.499-08:002011-11-27T12:52:18.499-08:00I've got love/hate feelings about coyotes.

During the summer with the windows open I can hear their yips and howling close by and I love it. I recently saw a mangy, skinny looking critter walking down a main street in my town(in Broomfield).cofisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288930899340581141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337379767320336838.post-47207094747695811032011-11-27T11:10:08.931-08:002011-11-27T11:10:08.931-08:00These creatures are a big problem here in Alabama....These creatures are a big problem here in Alabama.

I spent a couple of years hunting coyotes in conjunction with the Wool Growers Association and I can tell you, they are smarter than you think.<br /><br />MarkMark Kautzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802544198629446327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337379767320336838.post-67971745030211123332011-11-26T10:40:14.857-08:002011-11-26T10:40:14.857-08:00i know the Dallas 'burbs have been dealing wit...i know the Dallas 'burbs have been dealing with them for years, too. taking family pets out of backyards, getting very accustomed to folks out in their yards. here in the country, we live with them but i'd hate to be in the city and have to worry about a small dog...TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.com
