[QUOTE="Conagher, post: 433196, member: 1818"] This very exciting to me. I see and/or hear coyotes around my place every single night. One evening a while back I was on a tractor doing some dirt work right before dark I had seven (7) come walking by an each side of me. First time in 40+ years I have ever seen that many together - must have been forming their night hunting parting. I have made it a habit to do a bit of reseach whenever I hear someone in the area speak of coyote attacking a calf. So far, speaking with ranchers from 2 to 60+ years experience I have never met anyone who has personally experienced an attack/kill of a healthy calf by coyotes. It was always after calf dead/dying or it was actually so-and-so down the road who actually saw it. I see coyotes alot during calving season - they mostly comb the pastures eating calf poop until the cows run them off. So, you can see why this is quite exciting to me to actually have a couple of people who have personally witnessed this. Can you please provide more details? I am very interested. What was the cow doing at the time her calf was being attached? Where there other cows with them and did they just watch too? Did the attack result in a kill? Was there more than one coyote? I'm seriously interested. I have not shot any of the coyotes around my place because they do a pretty good job in controlling mice, rats, wild hogs, etc. and have yet to bother any of the calves. But if I even expect they might, I would change my mind pretty quick. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
