I agree, unless you are sitting on the porch at 4AM on the perfect
night, probably not at your house.



Where would I have seen coyotes? I spent a lot of years out in Kansas,
Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska. They have coyotes.

Kevin was pointing out coyotes are encroaching on suburban areas just
about everywhere.

I asked my niece and she says she saw them in Ridge, just down the
road from you..


Loogy was trying to point out that coyotes were in my yard or immediate
neighborhood. That's bull****.

Ridge, Maryland, is about 50 miles from here, across a wide river and in
the midst of an almost unpopulated area. It's hardly just "down the
road." It wouldn't surprise me to learn that what your niece actually
saw was a loose, small mixed breed German shepherd. I've seen any number
of those that resemble coyotes.

I'll let you know when I see an actual coyote in our back yard.

Actually coyotes attack in packs as well as singularly. Ingle dogs here
will take Fifi right off the leash of some dog walker in some areas.
Bigger dogs, etc they pack attack. Big problem in Hollywood Hills for
pets.

Harry is a city boy who recently moved out to the country.
Most of this stuff is foreign to him



That's just plain stupid, Loogy/Scotty.


I have heard a lot about Pizza in New Haven, the finer life in a dozen
other cities but not much "outdoors" stuff unless it was on a handicap
friendly trail within walking distance of the cruise ship or bus.

As does every other state in the continental U.S.

Animals do show up in strange places. I almost hit a deer on the
Whitehurst freeway in DC one night. He bailed out over the rail. I
thought about going to go down on K street and look for it but I
wasn't sure what I would do if I found it because I was not carrying.
I figure it had at least 1 broken leg. (30 feet straight down to the
concrete) and needed euthanasia. I figured a homeless guy ate it.

But Harry's enclave doesn't permit them to come there. Somehow.

I provided data that states that coyotes are indeed in your area. You've
not provided **** otherwise.

Ridge, Maryland, is about 50 miles from here, across a wide river and in
the midst of an almost unpopulated area. It's hardly just "down the
road." It wouldn't surprise me to learn that what your niece actually

Right. They wouldn't be able to cross that river. They must have taken a
ferry across the Mississippi.

You'll never know, you don't go outside.

You can't prove a negative. Not too smart to say "They're not here."
Most of these wild critters are nocturnal, and very careful about
avoiding proximity to humans, or being seen by humans.
That's how they've survived.
So I don't listen to anybody who says "Not in my back yard" when the
animal has been proven to be even 500 miles away.

We've had two coyotes in a park about a half mile from where I live in Alexandria, VA, and I'm
certainly not 'out in the country'.
