A coyote's howls on the prairie of a Western movie can help set the atmosphere as much as a Saguaro cactus or desert mountains, but to hear the animal's call in an urban backyard such as a Baton Rouge subdivision can be unnerving.
Police are urging residents not to leave small animals or children outside unattended. They also warn residents whose pets are attacked not to touch any saliva left by the coyote. That could transit rabies if the animal has the virus.
Officials say another coyote has been spotted in New York City, this time near LaGuardia Airport.
Some predator hunts are just now heating up with the spring green up.
Fur might not be prime, but you can cash in on big-time hunting land for next fall by picking off marauding coyotes around calving grounds this spring.
A second coyote has been captured in New York, this time in Queens.
Think about taking a kid or an adult who hasn’t hunted before the next time you go hunting. There are programs available to make it easier to take someone hunting for the first time.
Police believe they have captured a coyote that attacked a Norwood resident and they are setting traps for others.
Spring is one of the leanest times of year for critters, and one of the busiest for predator hunters.
