Sigh.... rough night....updated. The saga continues.

Chipping in my thanks too. One summer we spent a week sitting on the back porch waiting for a coyote pack to migrate through our property again. There were 5 of them, all adults. We shot and killed the leader and two others. They haven't returned.

Coyotes and wild boars have become a huge nuisance where we live and we're allowed to shoot on sight. The damage they've done to cattle herds is extensive and grotesque, not to mention the toll on neighbors' pets.
