“...shout or to throw something such as a tennis ball in their direction.”
Yep. That’ll work, LOL! How about I “throw” a bullet at them? ;)
We have a TON of coyote out here by us (10 miles south of Madistan) but since we have big dogs, they don’t come near the house. The closest scat I’ve seen is about 1/4 mile away, though I have seen coyotes twice in the wee hours of the morning when out walking the dogs, but they were heading in the other direction and were at least 2 miles away.
We have coyote and wild turkey and since the wild turkey are not good for the quail, we’re rooting for the coyotes.
Diana,
I live in Verona - just bought a house here in September. If you are still a mgr at a garden center, freepmail me which one.. I’d rather spend my money at your store for my upcoming landscaping needs.
On topic:
I hear coyotes all the time during the summer, saw one running across the road(brand new division) last summer with a cat or rabbit in its mouth. No big surprise when you live on the edge of town, Madison goes from city to country in a snap.
