Coyotes

[waretrop]

Nyboy, I am aware of your laws and watch them closely.....You are correct........I am just over the border a bit in Pa and can and do carry.....Just have to be careful...wish all the laws matched.....

Coyotes are all over the place. There are ranches and timberlands around us. Coyotes are across the road on a regular basis. They come up right next to our place, but so far have not jumped the fence. Having a couple of Great Pyrenees sure helps.

There used to be a bounty ... but, I'm showing my age.

After losing 3 chickens, I shot a coyote. I'd have much preferred not to have lost the chickens . I'd also given him fair warning by completing missing, a few days before.

Once, I saw a deer chasing a coyote ..! It was surreal. It's a dog eat dog (or, something) world out there, I tell you! We should try a little harder to fit in but it's hard to know how to do that, sometimes.

There still is, at least I'm pretty sure there is. And you can get $100 for a nice pelt.

I'll bet that was a mama deer chasing that coyote. My JRT must have sniffed out a new fawn one day, or been unaware and gotten too close.
I heard this strange wailing scream and stepped out on the patio to figure it out. Here came two brown blurs through the woods. A little JRT shaped one and a large very angry doe sized one. She was only inches behind him and striking as she ran.
I turned to leap back into the house (you're on your own buddy!!) and collided with my visiting sis. She ran out of the house, raised her arms and charged at the doe yelling and waving.
The doe, determined not to get rabies from this crazy woman, turned and ran back into the woods.

(Crazy runs in the family. It just skipped over me.)

I love your Sis

Yes, she's quite the character. That's the polite terminology I think.

 

[Nyboy]

I prefer the term eccentric, I think it has a nicer sound.

@waretrop my favorite weekend place to visit is in PA. New Hope in Bucks co.

 

[waretrop]

@Nyboy OH I haven't been there in years.....I also love it. What route do you take to get there? Have you been to "Grounds For Sculpture"?

 

[Nyboy]

It has been a couple of years since I was able to get away. Rt 202 down about 2 hrs from me prefect for weekend get away. Never been to " grounds for sculpture" what I like about the area is its artist community. Doyletown has a great house open for touring made out of cement and tile. Owner owned a tile factory, I forgot name of house, not your every day house worth seeing.

I was just at the Moravian Pottery factory and Mercer's house....There is a great Japanese restaurant there called Ooka.. Two Great places. It's just a little less time for me to get to New Hope and Doylestown. I go through Doylestown almost every weekend.
