I'm posting this because it pertains to a conversation that started about coyotes in another thread a few weeks ago. While I was walking back to the house with the mail this morning, I saw a headline in our local paper that read " Coyotes on the prowl in Clark." I was thinking all the way to house that that should be an informative ground breaking article. For us rural folks they have been a presence/destructive nuisance for 30 years give or take a few. Apparently now they are populating in town, enough to be getting the attention of folks there. The extension agent was interviewed and told about how they could predate on young calves and small animals. He recommended putting pets indoors at night, because they were a food source for coyotes. I mentioned to my wife that probably some of the well meaning town folk that fuss about the mean ol' farmers that killed coyotes because they think they kill their livestock, have probably seen coyotes in their yards. Maybe the perceived threat has become a little more real when Fluffy and Spot are possibly in danger of becoming predator food.
