Recently our grandkids had their grammar school (K-6) on lockdown, for a pack of coyotes roaming the school playground.
One side of the school is a large forest preserve, the other is open.
They brought the busses to the open side and surrounded it with the staff.
All that in the wilds of DuPage!
“All that in the wilds of DuPage!”
I see them strolling down the middle of my block here from time to time. I’m not far from Wheaton. And if I remember correctly the Chicago PD shot a mountain lion on the NW side of Chicago a few years back.
We don’t walk our dog without being armed at any time of the day. More than a few pets have been picked off within feet of their owners.
