Dead Coyote Hung from Tree with Christmas Bow
Breitbart ^ | 12/11/2014 | Breitbart News

PLAINS, Mont., Dec. 11 (UPI) -- A dead coyote hung from a tree with a Christmas bow along a Montana school bus route is outraging residents, but police said the display is not illegal.

Plains resident Mary Ellen Siegford, who posted a picture of the less-than-cheerful holiday display on Facebook, said her daughter burst into tears when she saw the dead animal.

"A lot of people were just like, 'Well, be glad it's dead. You don't have to worry about it eating your pets,'" Siegford told KECI-TV. "But I don't know. To me, it's morbid, it rings of animal cruelty. It's just not very pleasant to drive past, and I feel it's pretty gruesome for the school kids to be passing by on their way to and from school."

State trappers used to always hang yotes on the fence so the land owner could see how many he had taken.

Maybe that's the real reason for that tradition.

The crawl was the only good way into the sheep pastures on that section of fence. They have no fear of their dead relatives no matter how they are displayed.

I don’t doubt that coyotes aren’t superstitious.

We used to see dead coyotes hanging on fences near ranch gates all over the West. We even saw several golden eagles and a mountain lion years ago.

There are trees up here on which people nail fish heads. Some people are weird like that.

I have no beef with coyotes. They take care of the rabbits and squirrels for me.

>> they are siding with the coyotes - citing the fact they are all god’s creatures and the cycle of life and other such Gaea, earth mother foolishness.

I’ve learned a great word for such from Jerry Pournelle.

My sentiments exactly. I live at Coyote Central out in the desert and I hear and see them EVERY day. My problems are with the rabbits and squirrels that cause garden damage.

The coyotes help me in that regard.

You think it’s sick to hang predators up as a warning to their fellow predators???

We are always worried about wild boar tearing up the runway and taxi ways here and I guarantee you when I shoot a 4 or 600 pound boar with my Cetma’ .308 and leave its carcus to rot you do not see babies again.

Wow. Just last week, I posted here that this summer I hung a squirrel in effigy on one of my pear trees after 5 years of them terrorizing my pears. Shot that sucker with a pellet rifle, and hung him up with 2 sections of string. After his carcass dried out a little, he swung it the breeze pretty nicely.

Guess what? His friends and family decided to leave the rest of my pears alone. Also guess, it is a good thing it was far enough away from the view of a school bus.

A dead Yote is a good Yote. I don’t go out the door now without a weapon. I see one and I can safely get a shot off it’s a dead Yote.

Oh and a raccoon is as big a nuisance as a Yote. They will turn on a person without warning once they loose fear of humans. Unless a person has a fondness for Rabies treatments it’s best to shoot on sight if possible if around your house. The safest wild animal around your home? The Possum. They may show their teeth but their body temp is usually too low to carry Rabies as I understand it.

Coyotes don’t understand property lines.
