John was able to discourage the coyotes by waving a walking stick, or something like that.

I still carry a dog whistle and four golf balls on my walks around Lynnhaven but fortunately have not seen any wildlife at night except rabbits, a possum, and feral cats.

I have never seen a bobcat in the Villages but am sure they are out there.
Tal: I have seen a number of bobcats one not too long ago on Del mar as I passed the gate their to go to MVP in Spanish Springs it was running from behind those townhouses. I have seen coyotes on a number of the golf courses.

My neighbors reported sightings of bobcats and coyotes through our neighborhood which is very close to Lynnhaven


I am surprised that people are surprised about the wild life here and its conflicting with The villages population because it is happening all over .
