I watched coyotes sauntering down the street on Fort Irwin, CA in the Mojave desert. They knew they were safe.
See ‘em, shoot ‘em. They’re east of the Mississippi now, and they ain’t house pets. Make nice practice for your AR-15 & optics, IMO.
They're fully nationwide now. Top of Maine and in Brooklyn NYC. They did it through 80-plus years of walking across bridges over rivers and the backs of dams that allowed them to cross over into lands where they'd never been before, and now they're mating with reintroduced wolves and turning into super coyotes able to kill a grown human adult like that one poor musician girl out jogging in Canada.
