Thanks for the pings, George!

I'm going to be out in the field most of the time until mid-October, so I'll try to freep when I can.

Some of my co-workers don't believe coyotes will attack people. I vividly remember the article about that female folk singer out east at Cape Breton that was killed and partically eaten by the eastern coyotes.

I have to refer my co-workers to that story repeatedly.

I don't think these naive fools believe it.

Good memory on my part, although I do cruise the old neib every few years.

Great link. Thanks, George.

I especially liked the "Wolves Hardwired to Kill" column at the link.

I'll be checking out more at this link in the future.

Heh. Make noise? If the predator is lucky, the donkey will make noise.

If the predator is unlucky, the donkey just goes to work.

It is difficult to describe. Donkeys are smart as a whip... and when you piss them off (and they get royally pissed off at coyotes), donkeys become animals possessed of a level of mean that just won’t quit.

“Bite, stomp, kick into the next county” is a good start. I’ve seen donkeys that were put in with a bunch of alpacas as guards just go to town on a feral dog. When they were done, that feral dog was a steaming pile of mush.

Offhand I don’t remember any Fitzgeralds, but it’s been fifty years since I graduated hs and forty-five since I really hung out in The Valley.

Well, I don't get a 'kickback' on these but... 

 

Hevi-Shot® "Dead Coyote" Ammunition

With these Hevi Shot® T-shot loads, you can be deadly at ranges you never thought possible with a 12 gauge. If you're a waterfowler, you already know the benefits of Hevi Shot® -- it's 10% heavier than lead, 54% denser than steel and produces superior downrange pattern densities that make cleaner kills at greater distances. But until now, it wasn't available in a shot size larger than BB, so you weren't able to experience its true potential. The 3" load pounds out 50 pellets at 1,350 feet-per-second. Each pellet is molded perfectly round to minimize the effects of air resistance and keep your pattern together longer. Simply put, Hevi Shot® T-shot will deliver a lethal payload at the very extreme of shotgun ranges. Try it and you'll be a believer. 10 shells per box.
