I saw a coyote in my neighborhood last night

I live in the DC burbs. I've lived in Montgomery county for 40 years and never heard of them being around here before. There have been a couple of articles that they were moving in but I wouldn't have expected them where I live.

1. Those things are survivors. We had them right outside our yard...

until the new subdivision went in.

2. These are moving into the neighborhoods, not out

I'm going to have to keep an eye on the pup when I let her out at night

5. Yep, they will take a pet. We didn't worry...

We had Chows. With their thick fur and loose skin they'd have been a tough fight for coyotes.

3. Wait til the neighborhood pets disappear!

I always shoot them on sight. I have taken flack on this board before for making that statement but thats what I do. My neighbor has lost calves to them. Have you ever considered an encounter with a rabid coyote?
Coyotes are bad news- especially ones that are comfortable around humans. There were a couple up in Nashville a few years back at a local park. The neighbors demanded action when their pets started disappearing.
I shoot them dead on sight. Hey, the buzzards need to eat too!

4. I am not even going to express my feelings about that.
