[delima2000]

There has been a lot of post about coyotes spotted in the villages. Just last week there was just one in our backyard in mira mesa It has been hanging around for the last three days. Please watch your pets. Here is proof.

I see them all the time riding to work in the mornings about 330am off of Belvedere.

This one has been coming out in the daytime around 3:00pm.
Haven't seen it since last Friday.

A friend of mine who lives in Fernandina said the coyotes were howling really loud last night. She said it seemed like they were in her back yard.

They spotted one on Hilltop course the other day. We have them in packs at the barn where I keep my horse in Oxford. They will not hesitate to attack small dogs and cats. yes, watch your pets when they go outside!

Toss them one of those little yappy dogs that seem so prevalent in TV. Then they will go back to their den. (just kidding):sigh:

Actually the coyotes are helping to keep the snake, squirrel, rabbit, rodent, and racoon populations in check.

wow, I live in Mira Mesa on Del Mar Dr., with the field to my back, I see alot of people walking their dogs there, from the rio grande pool area. I have to admit they walk the dogs a ways from us, but I often find droppings on the back side of my bushes.... hmmmm, Perhaps more solar spots are in order.

I live around the corner on del rio dr. And that is the same field that the coyote was spotted.

My friends swear they saw a wolf on Sanchez Ct, in the Village of Ponderosa.

can that be true?

[Bogie Shooter]

If they swear to seeing a wolf..........how can you question their oath?:pray:

Never saw any coyotes or wolves, but my son was visiting last week and said he ran into a few cougars at Katie Belle's.

A coyote killed the cute nanny goat who lived on a farm behind our house in Amelia. Belle was always so cute and we loved to watch her. Now she is gone.

That's why the people that own the barn where I board have a loaded shotgun by the front door. So far this year they have killed 3 coyotes...BIG ones and there's more out there in dens.

Buy them a bottle of scotch!

this is very sad. we have taken their habitat.

Personally, I would take the side of the coyote over the nanny goat. I hate goats!!

Anyhow, it is legal for a landowner to kill a coyote on his property. It is not really recommended though. I copied the following from the Florida Dept of Wildlife. "Some evidence suggests that light, indiscriminant harvesting of Coyotes may actually stimulate production and further increase numbers."

They are allowed to shoot the coyotes as they have farm animals that are in danger from them. So far, they have lost 7 barn cats to coyotes and a horse who was old and unable to run from them was attacked. He's ok and that particular coyote met his maker. :crap2: They have been going after the baby calves at the cattle ranch across the street. It's very sad to see that.

I agree with Kitty, it is very sad. We have taken their habitat, and now they are breeding and trying to feed their families and we kill them. Having said that, I don't see a solution. It's the way of progress. And of course we can't have them roaming around preying on weak, young and helpless barn animals. Or hunting on the golf courses and occasionally taking family pets if left outside. :shocked: But still, it's sad. :cry:

Nature is cruel and it's hard for us to accept.
