[RC] {re] coyote threat - L gin

This makes sense -- Some of the firemen around here told my son they think they have some wolf in them (one found and kept a pup)-- and I have seen 2 trotting arcross the road ( in 5 years early mornings), about 40 lbs and well fed looking. (I do know what a huskey, malmute etc. are like)-- I also see one or two dead on the roads frequently, about half as frequent as deer. Not like those small scrawny ones in the museum. Same firemen said thay got 45 last year (kills).....

I 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!)
