[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 105528, member: 1101"] Hummmmm. wonder if that female bike rider that got her face ripped off by a cougar heard a scream? As far a yotes hunting in packs... yes, many will remember a long string about it this past late winter and the debate that went on over it. (My posting) The eastern coyote seems to be much larger then the western yote, and as stated earlier, often it is found to be a cross with a red wolf. As I saw and and was told by our state wildlife experts (is there really such a thing?) These nasty critters often do hunt alone, for most of the year, especially when small game is plentiful, often a seasonal bounty of bunnies and other good eats.. But when things get tough, such as the deep end of winter, they will pack up to take down larger game, as the smaller game get exhausted. Thus starts the calf killing problems, because many of our calves are born in the Febuary-March times. Thus about the same time that the small game gets mighty thin around here. Now, as far as proof, I did post several pics on the board that showed a pack of yotes working over a freshly killed calf. So... there ya go.... pictures don't usually lie. In any case, they are out there, along with only the Lord knows what else, and they do after all.......have to eat. Thus..... things happen. I know that I have just recently obtained more then two dozen traps for use next winter. Thus in an attempt to 'target' specificly yotes, I hope to keep my fence lines a bit more secure with a 'ring of steel' around them. And yes, for all you fellow animal lovers out here, these are the padded traps that minimize any leg or foot damage to the animals, so that an inadvertant catch of a non targeted animal, perhaps a mountain lion will not suffer foot trauma. As far as Black Panthers being around, recently read an article somewhere that they have been live trapped in Arizona, and are assumed to be migrating from South or Central America. As AZ is actually historicly black panther territory. I have personally seen several Black Panthers several years back when I was visiting Washington DC, they were picketing for some lost or hopeless cause..lol :cboy: [/QUOTE]
