Coyotes?

[wcd]

Do they have a mating season so to speak? Or is there something that makes them more active at on time versus another? Trying to figure out what is going on at the homestead? I have found 4 of them since Thursday Night. I am guessing they do not have much of a self preservation instinct?

This is their mating season. They’re just dumb... mate, eat, sleep, repeat…

See coyote,

Column: It's coyote mating season, and in my neighborhood that means trouble

I’ve sprayed our yard with wolf urine, boarded up the doggy door and posted flashing red 'predator eyes' on fences and trees surrounding my house.

Last week about 4;00am I heard a bunch yapping from the back door. Jim.

I guess it’s not all bad…saves a bit on dog food cost, since there is very little left if them.

“They are not afraid of the puny weapons humans bring to the battlefield — our air horns and golf clubs and tin cans rattling with coins. These coyotes are roving the streets in packs, like unrepentant hoodlums looking for a mark.”

I wonder what weapons in the world they could use against the coyotes?

I was going to ask how you found them. I kind of figured that is what happened. Big dogs protecting their family.

Yes from what I saw on the video they lgds tried to run them off then when they elected to proceed it was lights out for them..

I think it’s mating season right now, mid Jan to late March maybe? A females mating call is much different than the yips, locating howls, prey or distress calls. It’s actually very beautiful and passionate. You can just feel the yearning in the howl. Or maybe I need to get out more…

The way some threads are going it may be mating season on INGO. The mating call is not as beautiful but it is passionate…

The Supreme Court said it was just fine…

11:07 and the yotes just LIT this place up, beautiful. As they settled down a few of the females (I’m assuming, see; Supreme Court, above) let go with that long moan.
I know if I go to bed now and wake her up with that moan I’ll just get hit.

I haven't heard any for a few days.

Sure it's not a neighbor playing Celine Dionne at high volume?

Yep. My neighbors wouldn’t play that.
There’s a possibility it was an electronic call, but no shots fired.

Had one in my front yard this morning about 7:30 but i couldn't get a good shot at him... been seeing them a lot this time of morning for a couple of weeks now,

We usually try to let them be until they decide to do something stupid like come onto our property.

Was at my Grandparent's place last Friday night and woke up to a bunch of them. Sounded fairly close to the house.
Since no people are out there much anymore I'm sure they just stick around there.
Wish I had a thermal.
