Re: [RC] Desperate Times for Horse Owners and for Horses - Jody Rogers-Buttram
Coyotes are like mules....hard to hurt one, or kill it !!!! But, coyotes will do a good job of cleaning up a dead animal....in a very short time frame too.
I can say that about the mules, since I am raising/training two young ones....they are
smart creatures.

We had to euthanize a mare that became hopelessly crippled some years ago. Our vet did the job, with drugs, and my husband loaded the body into our tractor bucket, took her way up on the top side of our ranch and laid her on the ground amongst the oak trees...out of sight and out of smell range of the nearest neighbors. The coyotes did a good job of the rest, and I hadn't noticed any diminished population of coyotes because of that.
