[RC] coyote threat - rides2farI read a book about the Eastern Coyotes...they are *all* bigger. The author's theory is that there's a tad of wolf that mixed in at some point and they are filling the void left by the Red Wolf in the Eastern forests..nature fills a void with the sized creature it had adapted for the job. Forget the details but it was pretty persuading argument. The ones I've seen were very consistent...and very shy. Saw 3 pups on the trail at Biltmore the night before the ride last year...have seen one within 20 yards of my back door. It was chasing my Australian Shepherd home but when my dog saw me on my horse she seemed to think *reinforcements!* and turned and chased it back over the ridge. Angie (headed out to pick up my new 7 year old barely halter broke stallion this morning...details pending!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
