I haven't seen any myself, but last week I was helping a friend of mine's parents haul hay out in the Greenhill area for their horses, and they were talking with the landowner whom they had purchased the hay from about how many(coyotes) they have seen in their pastures over the last few weeks. I imagine they have had a "baby-boom" of coyotes this year because this isn't the first i've heard of them, and it seems like they are all over the county. I myself havent been on a hunting trip in over 15 years since i was in my early twenties and my children were born, but we used to kill them when we would see them in a pack so that the landowners whose property we hunted on, wouldnt fear them attacking their livestock. Just like Howard posted, even if you dont kill them, firing a few shots in the air will keep them from coming into the area for a while because they are smart little critters. I just hope they aren't roaming around starving looking for food. I haven't heard of any coyote attacks on animals or people yet, but i wouldn't be suprised now after reading this and hearing about it from others also.
