Late yesterday afternoon or early evening, I noticed a coyote eating pears which had fallen from my tree the previous few days.

I was looking through double pane windows which were not real clean plus a screen or I would have taken a picture. When I first looked, I thought for an instant that it was a deer but immediately recognized that it was a big coyote.

After looking for a few more seconds I knew something wasn’t quite right. It finally struck me that it was a dog/coyote mix. If I could have sneaked out without scaring him I would have shot him but I knew that would never happen. He was just too skittish.

Cyotes ain't so bad, you should try wolves like here in rural Alaska. I've had them in my garbage cans at 3 am, had them kill dogs, even had one walk up my lane last week; try to get into my bear bait buckets.

Then half the people from lower 48 wants to kiss every last wolf we got up here; send money to all the politicians to get them to luv the wolves too. Palin was only one that wanted them dead so the moose might stand a chance and Alaskans might get be able to get their winter meat.

I wish all the wolf luvers down their would start worrying about their own cyotes in their back yards; or maybe take some of our wolves as they wipe the cyotes out quicker than anything.

Every wolf in Alaska eats 6 moose a year and we got over 30 K of them. Wolves take 4 times the moose people do in this state.

My wife took a picture of a coyote eating the fallen persimmons from our tree at 9am one winter weekday. That must have been one hungry coyote to be out in the broad daylight. Even the deer don’t usually come out at that time.
