TheBanyanTree: I'm Standing in a Snow Globe and coyotes

[NancyIee at aol.com]

Thanks for  the info. The hunters around here go for deer and the 
everplenty wild hogs (on  which there is open season) I don't know of any that target 
coyotes, or  know their habits.  Hopefully the coyetes meet the feral hogs 
and leave  pasture critters alone.  Nevertheless, I will continue to keep my 
mini  horses stabled at night. I might get myself a small calibre rifle 
with a scope,  like I used to have. I used to keep the wild things from my 
chickens and sheep. 
Thanks for the info.
 
Coyotes do  their best work at night unfortunately.  Less pressure from the 
outside  world and freedom of movement without being bothered.  If they are 
 bothering the pastures, you might want to do some research and call in a  
professional to see if the pack is overcrowded.  If that is the case, they  
might want to take a few select from the pack to bring a balance back into  
things.  This is getting prime into their breeding season also, which makes  
them more aggressive and more traveled, picking their mates, setting their 
core  area boundries and such.
