Coyote in Lawrence

[dan lenson]

One at 56th & Lee Road today at 7:30 pm. Broad daylight.

Didn't seem concerned about human presence -- was pretty busy there, traffic-wise.

First I've seen here. Bold breed.

I figured that they would get here sooner or later. I am used to seeing them and shooting them because there are so many of them in Colorado. I remember a couple of years ago that the Colorado Department of Wildlife had a bounty of $50 a head on them because there were so many.

I've seen several in the open (Daylight) over the past few months. That used to be rare, not anymore.

 

[Yeah]

I'm sure they've been around there for a good while. Once they get fairly well accustomed to humans, realize they don't represent a threat, and get hungry..you start seeing them all the time.

Obvious thing to do: show them that humans represent a threat.

But I'm not sure how that would be tolerated since I don't know Lawrence very well.

When I lived in AK that was moose people said that about so it could be worse.

We have a fox that lives in the woods near our apartment in Beech Grove. It has run out from under a fir tree while I am walking the dog.

I worked night shift on patrol and they are everywhere. I've seen them downtown and in just about every area of the county.

Had a coyote in my back yard (Indy south side) about a year ago. He came jogging up the shallow creek and hung around for 2 days or so. He would run off when my little dog (21 pounds) ran towards him. I will say I haven't seen any stray cats around for awhile.

I'm thinkin' silenced .22 & some night ops, here.

The wife and I have goats so there's sort of a love/hate relationship with brother coyote around my house. I respect their need to eat and they should respect my need to protect.

Saw three run through the Chatham Tap Fishers parking lot Saturday night. Get one or two through my back yard on occasion.

around here you see them often in the winter, but rarly in the summer. but where i live you are surounded by crops everywhere you go so they could be 20 yds away and you would drive right by
