I pointed this out in the BigFoot thread. Although not a completely original on my part I think if we put a 30 foot wall around The Villages this will work. I think I can get the coyotes to pay for it.

All you will need then is a Pied Piper or two to lead the coyotes and bobcats and gators to the other side of the wall! Bet that could be tougher than getting the coyotes to pay for the wall!

Have a public meeting, but don't tell the coyotes it's on the agenda--just bill them.

You would have to make sure that wall goes underwater too at points around the Villages and deep underwater into the ground. Cannot have the gators swimming under it along with the snakes.


The Villages' plan probably would only allow a two story wall if that. How high can bobcats jump?

Photos of hawks, eagles, alligators, bobcats, and wild pigs here have been posted on TOTV. We need a coyote photo to have a show and tell discussion.

Good idea. I can help with the coyote photo. I'll spend a few hours today Photo shopping a pic of my boxer standing valiantly atop the hot tub ledge peering out the lanai toward the golf course.

That's all I will have time to contribute so the rest of you will have to take it from there. This afternoon when I wake up I will post The before picture, to get your juices flowing for a killer ending. Quadruple entendres accidentally poison my pen! I am not responsible for people who read between the lines and put you know what in their garbage bags.

By the way there is actually an innocent long haired blonde seven-year-old I am not making this up relaxing in the spa. Her hair gleams in the sun. Lucky you, subliminal halos are my specialty.

PS wouldn't volunteer to do anymore except that Photoshop makes it a snap, pardon the pun, to reproduce coyotes, as if they needed any help. Interest of genuineness,I can put two of them on the golf course just where I actually saw two and scattergun, oh bout a dozen more. I thought about the reason we don't get any pictures is we play in the day shift and they work night shift. As they habituate to urban life they adapt like a Virus on steroids, well maybe that metaphor was creative license, they do actually get more shiftless.

I have to go now so just one more thing and go to \\\ apologies all over the place if you posted while I was typing this: Predators in Paradise.
Pps ( not peepees). Editors note: If the word scattergun caught your eye and you feel feisty, please post it so everybody bored with this can have a whole Nother (sp?) melee.

Do you still have a big dog maybe it should keep watch on the lanai?

I do think most coyotes will high tail it whenever they encounter a dog bigger than they are unless the dog is very submissive. One of those motion sensors that sets off a dog barking? REX Entrance Alerts with Barking Dog Sound

Tal, for thinking FOR me and OF me, thanks!

We had guests last night, visiting from Cincinnati. We were sitting on the screened lanai, and the cats were with us and I put them inside when it got dark and explained to the friends about the coyote problem.


They all are from the same street in a Cincinnati suburb and were saying much the same. They too were having coyotes roaming at night in their area in Cincinnati and they all were taking extra precautions to protect their small dog and cats.


Coyotes are there and here.

Wily coyote captured in New York - Telegraph In NYC too.

Maybe, they have the right idea. Trank it. And then put it in a wilderness area like the Ocala National Forest.

In my minds eye, I see the Ocala National Forest as full of homeless people.
Many of us here in TV have contributed to helping programs for them.

That forest is very large. It probably has bears, fox, gators, coyotes and many other creatures. Ocala National Forest - Nature Viewing

There are 2000 coyotes in Chicago. They have adapted by becoming totally nocturnal, learning how to cross busy streets, staying away from humans and their pets, and feeding on prey only. Here is an interesting National Geographic article about this phenomenon:

I saw this yesterday on the Orlando news. Other coyotes will come back though once the trapper gets rid of this group.
