I lived NW of there for many years. A moe rural area, but the coyotes I sometimes saw in the morning were fairly well fed.
Lots of rat dogs I suppose, like the neighbor that left theirs out to bark most of the night. Gone in the morning. They tried to insinuate I had something to do with it.
My friend lived in Arizona years ago and went outside with her small dog so he could pee, and a coyote came and snatched him up before she could let out a scream for her husband to help....
