Had an unexpected visitor this weekend
I was out camping in the desert this last weekend. The weather was beautiful with just a puff of wind from time to time. I was outside on Sunday morning when I spied this guy wandering around the area...

We're like the chicken farmer and don't like coyotes. Shooting them isn't a long term solution; a new one will move in. We have Sam (Maremma) and Wendy (Kangal) to protect our flock.
No Mountain Lions/Cougars confirmed living in MD.
Black bears typically don't kill livestock (know they are around, have not seen one); we're 14miles from where the woman in MD was attacked in her drive by a sow with 3 cubs.
There are lots of foxes; see them frequently during the day and hear them at night.
Know coyotes are around (wife saw one earlier this year running across top of field), have lost a few lambs to them (added Wendy, our second LGD to prevent this).
