I never appreciated predators much. Necessary though.
We've had a big problem with coyotes since early 13. they have been right at our rear porch.
They have set up housekeeping somewhere on the ridge behind us, not more than 500 ft away. We've heard them just about every night.
The number off them has grown. Early last year Son In Law was walking two pups in the woods. They came upon a blow down.
Two coyotes came out and came for them,in a serious way.
He whistled and the mother Australian Shepard and Pop a Chocolate Lab came running and chased them for a ways. He called them back. Should have let them get them.
The hordes of turkeys have not been seen this year. just on Jake and two females and the deer have vamoosed.
The coyotes have scared or caught them.
The game trails around the ridge a re muudy at times and deep thanks to the coyotes.
