COYOTES on the move!

Yep. I see them out all the time. Both daytime and night.

BTW, "coyote" is spelled with two "o"s, not one. Per your title: COYTES on the move!

spelling it with 2 "O" would be cooties wouldn't it?

Possibly. After seeing ticks and fleas crawling off a dead coyote carcass, I don't care to hug up on one to find out.

For anybody that doesn't realize it, they are thick in the Shoals area, as are armadillos.

And, no roadrunners!

As you can see by the respective times of our posts, I had corrected this error and had the second "O" in before your post hit the forum. I respect your concern for correct spelling, however. There is plenty of incorrect spelling, grammar, and punctuation on this and other forums, reflecting the dumbing down of education in this country.

Agreed. I did see you had went back and edited the title by the time I made my second post.

Funny this should come up now because I saw one scamper through the parking lot at my apartment complex Monday night. It was holding one of it's front legs up in the air like it had gotten hurt.

I have a relative in the country. Plenty of coyotes in the woods, but they seldom stray on his pasture land. He said about every four or five years, the pack gets bold and starts roaming in the pasture. He walks out with his gun, holds it over his head so they can see it, fires a round next to the pack, then holds it over his head again. The pack takes off for the woods and stays there for a few more year. I guess the coyotes think the human is just marking his territory.

i believe that, howard. those critters are smart.

I see them fairly often.

Here is a link to a great blog with beautiful pictures of a pet coyote named Charlie. A very neat young woman named Shreve left the city and moved to a very rural spot in Wyoming, where she lives in a one room cabin with Charlie and her cat, Eli. She took Charlie in as a small pup, after his parents were shot and killed.

She is a wonderful photographer.

I see them in the area ever so often, but hear them a lot more frequently. Usually in the evening, sitting on the porch, we hear them howl. It always kind of creeps me out. This is right in St. Florian.

Not to worry, if anyone ever sees a coyote coming their way, you'll see a road runner!!!

I saw one in my apt complex last week! It was eating the food the ladies leave for the stray cats.... very animal friendly side of the complex I think it came from the woods around the train tracks.

It is really sad. These animals habitats are being taken away and destroyed by man so they have no place to go. I haven't seen any coyotes though but I hear of it happening all the time.

I was wondering why all the local stores had ran out of ACME products.

I see em along Savannah Highway near McFarland and Cypress Creek.

Actually, the coyotes are expanding their numbers and range, like pigeons.

I see them pretty often. Hear them most every evening. My wife seems to be making friends with a raccoon that wants to come up on the deck while she is having a smoke. lol

It is sad. Where I used to live in Maryland everything was built up so quickly in the 70's and 80's that the deer had no where to go. To this day, you can be driving on the very busy streets (day or night) and see the deer grazing by the sidewalks etc. I just feel horrible knowing they may be killed by a motorist when they run across the road. My guess is the deer are now being flushed out of their homes by new developments going up everyday in the Metro area in Maryland.
