Ditto that, what an god-awful sound that is. Two days after I heard that we found a chewed up deer leg next to the driveway. My dog was going crazy last night around 1am, shone the flashlight out the window and one was about 10' from my front door. Didn't seem the least bit bothered by the light in his face and took his time leaving. I'm mulling over options.The ones in my area are fat and happy, lots of food running around. They look like German Shepherds from a distance.
These larger eastern coyotes are supposedly hybrids that came down from Canada, DNA 60% coyote, 30% wolf, and 10% dog. Coyote population saturates Massachusetts
Last year there was a deer killed in my yard by 2 yotes. I never want to hear that sound again.
