Where the heck does this guy live? In Texas I've seen packs of as many as 15-20 running together. And they will take down ANYTHING they think they can pull down.
Funny story - they are also NOT afraid of man. We had a pack of them moving up and down a creek that ran near our house (we lived in the city but in the middle of about 80 acres of open land near the airport. Every night this pack of 10-15 would sit just outside our fence and ‘celebrate’ their recent kill. Considering myself to be part of the dominant creatures on this turd-hill, I decided to teach them a lesson. Loading my snub nose SW 38 with blanks, I silently crept to the other side of the fence (the fence was covered with overgrowth so they couldn't see me.) I waited till they were all howling like crazy, pointed the gun across the top of them, and pulled the trigger. Let me tell you - that gun is loud with blanks. I could hear them tearing out of there like scared rabbits! Once again, man has asserted his dominance!
Of course the next night they were right back in the same place doing the same thing.
I live pretty close to the center of Houston, near Buffalo Bayou. I have seen single coyotes but not packs, in broad daylight roaming in neighborhoods . They are here too!
