This coyote was in my backyard 5 years ago yesterday looking for my two cats. He was one of three circling around back there. Thankfully they were inside at the time. We never let them go out in the yard again after that. We did build them a cat enclosure off of our deck so that they can still enjoy fresh air.

Sorry, I don’t know how to make the photo smaller other than a thumbnail.

I think one of my cats got nabbed and eaten around Thanksgiving.

Coyotes, Fischers(Fisher Cats) and Bobcats have all made a huge comeback in the last 25 years in NH. Along with turkeys , whitetails and black bears.

The predators all have become adapted to hunting in the suburbs and even in the cities.

This is because all the farms have disappeared and turned into subdivisions. Except here that means 1-5 acre lots with plenty of woods in between for the wildlife.

The problem is the liberals that are all anti hunting. IF someone in the suburbs shoots a gun anytime outside of normal fall hunting season some KAREN posts about it on Facebook.

Last summer a skunk got in the fenced area where we keep our dogs. It was about 11 pm on a Friday night. I shot it with my 16 gauge shotgun.
I texted my closest neighbor, whose house is about 500’ away just so he didn’t wonder what was going on.

Years ago coyotes were shot on site.

The drive time DJ on WEEI radio was talking about a coyote in the Seaport district of downtown Boston. This is right on Boston harbor.

You and your cat are very fortunate!

A friend heard something in the early evening, looked out to see a coyote on his small ~20lb dog.

Grabbed a nearby shovel and had to hammer the coyote to make it let go!

The dog survived!!!
The dog had HUNDREDS OF STITCHES! And was shaved mostly bald in the process.

In our neighbors yard about 5 years ago. We sent it to the Iowa extension office because we were speculating it was a wolf hybrid but they said based on the picture, it was just a healthy one.
