Well that was interesting I just saw a coyote in back of my house

I pray no one is using poison to kill those rodents because that will kill the raptors and make a coyote sick and could even kill it @snowy22315

@rebelann There ism't anyone using poison. It is a wooded area, dozens of acres..People aren't poisoning wild things. I don't even know how many would be around. Small critters here have predators. I rarely even see a rabbit.

I wish it were true here as well @snowy22315 but a lot of people here go to mexico to buy poison because they want to kill insects and rodents, I just can't figure out how they get past customs with that crap.

This was only the second or third time I ever saw one here.

@snowy22315

Not too worried, it is very rare for them to go after a person.

@JudyEv I have one, but the manual was a Chinese English thing an hard to read. I kept meaning to give it to my nephew to work on, but forgot and I forget to ask my son. We thought we had it set up, and the sample video didn't work.

Yeah, I would be a bit concerned if I saw a bear 10 yards from the house..but I have to admit, I wouldn't be shocked to see one. It would make think when I went out I should take some sort of protection with me though. Also, if I had a trail cam set up back there..I wouldn't be surprised to see one either, because they are usually out at night.

@snowy22315 I always wanted a trail cam set up to see what the roos were up to at night but I never did it.

Most wild animals are quite timid.

No, it is rare for them to attack people.

Yeah, bears are unpredictable and they do sometimes attack people who they perceive as some kind of threat, or in the West maybe to eat. One time I read about a lady who lived I don't know maybe 100 miles from here who got attacked just going to her mailbox. It was pretty serious. it was cold and she had a broken thigh. I think she didn't have her phone with her because she was just going to the mailbox..but I guess a neighbor saw her or something and called 911. If something happened to me, I would be quite unlikely to have a neighbor spot me..unless I was down by the road. That is part of the reason I didn't go out much with that terrible weather system we had with the ice and snow, and how I always had my phone on me. If I got injured I literally could have been there for a long time..I guess if I was screaming though somebody might hear me without that much trouble.

@snowy22315 - We are lucky not to have dangerous wild animals too close where we live. I never take my phone with me when I go downstairs to get our mail and often the few neighbors are at work when I go downstairs.

Yeah, I think you would have to.

I don't think I have heard one either. Although I suppose some of the dog sounds I hear sometimes could be them. Maybe they are the non howl variety.of coyote..
