Just an update to my old thread about the giant coyotes, the problems continue.
Right on schedule, they came back up from the river mid-August.
The local government final acknowledge that they exist. The coyotes have been bothering the garbage men when they come to pick up the trash during the day around noon. They've also been quote "snarling and nipping" at people thats cars have broken down at night on the unpopulated roads around here. In the part of the county it's not strange to have roads with nothing for miles, if you broke down or ran out of gas you're facing a 4 or 5 mile walk probably in the dark too.
The coyotes may not even been coyotes, it looks like they might be a type of coywolf
. And something disturbing happened earlier this week.
My husband just got a new motorcycle so he thought he'd take the kids down the road on it. Now, the road(if you can call it that) that runs in front of our house is only one lane, two cars cant pass each other one has to pull over for the car thats going in the opposite direction and it's 90% trees with a few scattered neighbors then on down the the river. My husband took his oldest daughter first while the youngest(age 7) and I waited. While she plays with a few fallen leaves waiting for them to get back, I hear something moving in the bushes behind us, as I turn around a young coyote(?) runs back into the bushes, it had been sneaking up on my stepdaughter (it couldnt see me from where i was standing until I turned around and she was kneeling down making her look smaller).
Then the night before last, in the middle of the night something woke me up, it was the sound of something screaming right underneath the bedroom window. That was the spot the coyotes/coywolves/coy-whatevers decided to make their kill for the night.If it wasnt so dark I would have gotten a picture, I turned on the light inside and they didnt even run.
Their howling more this year too, anytime of day they want.
My friend with sheep farm has been having more problems with them too, new record is a 55lb male that was munching on some full grown ewes, even rams have been taken.

(turns out the "false positive" was a real positive just really early)
. And like I mentioned in the first post about the stalking from behide, that's gotten worse it happens almost daily now especially to me.Fall is finally here and the kids can't even play outside. Our neighbors let their little boy walk on his own , he's not even 5 and he walked over to our house by himself, that means he walked through the freaking woods by himself with these things around.
