Just shoot em...I "avoid" Coyotes all the time on Hwy 114 in South Lake Texas....

[Clemenza]

Coyotes occassionaly make an appearance in the Bronx, so why should we be surprised?

[Clemenza]

BTW: In my part of NJ, I have swerved to avoid deer, opposum, and a wild turkey, but never a coyote (yet).

[Dallas59]

Must be Glo-bull Warming.

[Emmett McCarthy]

Not in Jersey. The ruling class has removed firearms from the hands of their subjects.

[LibKill]

In Texas the coyotes don't dare show aggression. They stay as far away from humans as possible.

That's because we shoot them on sight.

Too bad New Jersey can't do likewise.

[GoldCountryRedneck]

Firearms=Coyote Control.

Oh. Thats' right. NJ pushes gun control. Like the police and/or sheriff can handle it....

[Inyo-Mono]

Just shoot em...I "avoid" Coyotes all the time on Hwy 114 in South Lake Texas....

Me too. I hear them howling every night and during day just pop 'em with my rifle.

For now, Liz Murray admits she's living with a bit of fear. "It's frightening in that we shouldn't have to worry about the safety of our children in our own backyard," she says. "It should not be, so hopefully something will be done about it."

Of course, this means SOMEONE ELSE should do something about it.

A few years ago, driving out here to the desert from our (then) home, I nailed one at 75 as it tried to cross Interstate 10 in front of me....it was 10pm, so I had no reaction time - just felt the thumpety thump as it went underneath the car.

I was more than glad it was sprinting at a low angle, because if I'd have caught it at high stride it might have gone thru the windshield.

Big "whew"...

Next morning, come daylight, I checked - no harm, no foul; we'd met smack middle on the bumper - no dents, just a bunch of greyish fur all along the undercarriage of the Camry.

[Williams]

But, but, but don't you know they were here first, and we moved into their territory ... and other kooky nonsense in the most densely (human) populated and industrialized state in the nation.

[MediaMole]

There are .223 ways to deal with coyotes.

[TXnMA]

What's the problem? Coyote hunting is fun!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ooops...it's NJ -- that's the problem! I have read that you can go to jail for owning a single hollowpoint bullet in NJ...

Guess they will just have to whack the coyotes with tennis balls -- or something...

[bnelson44]

A bichon frise? That would be lunch to a pack of coyotes. Humans they normally avoid.

[george76]

she's afraid to leave her children outside alone now for fear the coyotes could attack...

[ZULU]

"They seem to be getting more aggressive as our deer population and our coyote population are growing.
Wait for the Cougars - thy're on the way too.

And imbicilic New Jersey politicians will eventhen kow-tow to PETA, Friends of Animals, Walt Disney Productions, and morons from New York City who think all animals talk like in cartoons, and not permit any hunting of them.

New Jersey - Sheeple of the world.

[Clemenza]

Partly true. It is legal to possess hollow points, but they can ONLY be discharged within one's home, in the course of home defence.

Of course, in Nazi Jersey, the perp must be charging at you with a knife or firearm in order to use deadly force.

[Jeff Chandler]

I never hit a coyote with my car. I've hit sparrows, pigeons, egrets, dove, quail, rabbits, lizards, snakes, dogs, and cats, but no coyotes...yet.

[Calpernia]

Lunch? A bichon frise? You mean H'orderve.
