Weird part is, we don't even hardly have coyotes here anymore. My area of colorado is turning into a wasteland...no deer, no elk, no coyotes, no rabbits...but we do have lions.... I used to drive to wyoming to call coyotes. You'd be lucky to call one a winter here. That seems really odd. I have seen tons of coyotes in northern Colorado. Once saw a cow elk at night surrounded by six dogs. Headlights swept them as I was turning around near the Wyoming border. I would see a couple every day. We have a lot of coyote contests for some good money every year. Coming up soon. Biggest wins the bucks. Lots come in at near 50 lbs. Hunt em with dogs or drives or trap em doesn't matter. Buddies use Mt. Curs

I am on a local forum and last week we got to discussing coyotes. And I said, "Shoot 'em on sight no questions asked." The Asheville Libs were horrified. One gal said, "If we become scared of coyotes, then we have been made fearful. If you think about harming a poor coyote, then you have been made violent. Let us not live lives of fear and violence. Let us live in harmony with the coyotes."
Spoken like a true bliss ninny. Last time I lived in "harmony" with a coyote was when I was scouting for a special elk tag I'd pulled in east Idaho. My "instrument" was a Marlin 1894S .41 Magnum with a Sierra 210 grains jacketed hollow point bullet. At about 50 yards, it put a really quick stop to my "harmony" with El coyote.  When I lived in Laurel Canyon of Studio City, Calif., coyotes were all over the Hollywood Hills, Santa Monica Mountains, deserts, everywhere. Many a bunny hugging bliss ninny lost their little oopsie poopsie petsies and kitties to the prolific and fearless coyotes. Many of the idiots would put food out for the coyotes and then wonder where their little FiFi went. The coyotes are still there and feeding well. L.W.

Here is something I have noticed—wolves in Northwestern Ontario are much wilder than wolves in Minnesota and Wisconsin. And I think I know why. Wolves in NW Ontario are trapped and hunted regularly—they are really spooky.
A couple of my buddies in Wisconsin got in on the wolf hunt there—they where very successful—now these guys hunt coyotes also. I told them if the tree huggers would allow the season to be open for more than a season or two their success rate would plummet down to what they have with coyotes now.
Wolves in the boreal forest were never in any danger of extinction— not even with arial gunning or poison.
I didn’t read the link but the girl folk singer in New Brunswick that got killed I know was really small—didn’t even come close to hundred pounds. I don't remember for sure when we quit paying a bounty on wolves, but it was close to the time they went on the ESL. The wolves we had then were a much warier, much, much more man shy animal than what we have now. When you saw one, which was pretty rare, it was in high gear and moving away as fast it it could go. Coyotes were also extremely man shy and much quieter than they are now. What you are saying is exactly right and the simple act of shooting at them is all it takes to instill proper respect. People have no idea how many wolves are close to the Twin Cities and pass through the suburbs fairly often.

There’s a documentary on Netflix about the Music that was created in Laurel Canyon in the 1960’s. Coyotes are the ultimate adaptive survivor species. I’ve read articles that say they survive and thrive on the streets of NYC.

SIMON KENTON 7 - " ... Did you rub elbows with any rock stars there in Laurel Canyon?" Got to know Frank Zappa. He had an old house there in the Canyon. A bunch of those guys in his band and some others hung out there. Knew his brother who loved to fly fish for trout. I attended a wild party for Janis Joplin once up in the Hollywood Hills in Laurel Canyon. I left about three in the morning of the first night. A friend of mine who was there said the party went on for three days and nights. One night was more than enough for me. Different times back then for sure.  L.W.

Bet that was quite the party ! It was an helluva party. Lots of groupies there, too. People drifting in and out. Lots of drugs. I was not into drugs so I passed on that. Scotch was my game. There was plenty of that there, too. Long ago and far away. L.W.

Leanwolf, Not the cool factor of partying with Zappa, but another Laurel Canyon story. Back around 1980 I was a young guy in Pasadena and my buddy there who was a woodworker had a side business of doing tree work for folks. Stella Stevens was a regular. She lived in a little bungalow in LC and had a tiny kidney shaped pool surrounded by planters full of weed. She was actually very cool.. she'd be pruning away at her crops and then say "well fellas I'm going to the store there's beer in the fridge and you can make yourself a sandwich". I just looked her up after reading this thread to discover that she's now 83... Eesh... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/tC87nnwj/O083019-25-40817-1607602067-1280-1280.jpg) I did see Zappa play once.. for the encore he had his then teenage son Dweezil come out and play a solo.

A woman was killed outside of a city in Nova Scotia Canada (I think) in 2011 or so. Hiking on a nature trail. I'll have to try and find it. Big deal in the news at the time.

I have reservations on a vote kill Speaking of Reservations....the Rez to the south recently saw a man get killed and partially eaten by dogs. Tribal council didn't ask for public comment....they just went to killing stray and loose dogs.

12 year old incident.
Did you hear that the Sioux ambushed and killed Custer and his command?

Tribal council didn't ask for public comment....they just went to killing stray and loose dogs. I have heard that in the territories north of 60, there is one day a year where any stray dog is shot by the Mounties. In Northern Alberta, when closing down the provincial park late at night, driving through the nearby village, I was swarmed by 8-12 stray dogs nightly. Sure glad that I was in a pickup.

Did you hear that the Sioux ambushed and killed Custer and his command? Yes as a matter of fact I did. Interesting that the Sioux used the same strategy as coyotes do. Maybe Custer shouldn't have been a prideful jackass.
