At 8 a.m. this morning my husband said "look in the driveway!" There was the coyote in daylight, again, coming down our driveway. It must have heard us in the house. It stopped for a second then came towards the backyard again, stopped, turned around and walked out past the front path, turned and came back to the back porch. I went over to the dining room window in time to see it go right beneath the porch. We never saw it come out the other side. My husband called our neighbor who shoots everything and he said he would come down.
One hour later here comes Ed, course no sign of the coyote, he is probably long gone. At arounnd 10 a.m. Ed brought a 20 gauge down for us to use. I had thought that Ed, for all his talk would have come down to shoot the thing himself.
Well this poor bedraggled coyote is in very tough shape. Well now I have a loaded gun in the house, which bothers me, a very sick coyote around and I can't let my cats out of the house. I called the Vet and they said that Mange can be transferred to domestic animals. The whole situation creeps me out.
....later, Al came home for lunch and told me that others have seen this coyote hanging around the general area. With others seeing it, hopefully someone will shoot it....since the Great White Hunter up the road won't come down and shoot it.
