They seem to love to eat housepets and young livestock. They also breed with stray dogs to create another form of pest. Any hunter who makes it known that he wants to hunt coyote as varmints in northwestern Illinois will have the red carpet rolled out to him during deer season even on farms posted No Hunting !

In the canyons east of Chula Vista, CA, we were hiking around one day and spotted one about 200 yards away, moving away from us very quickly. I feel sorry for the species. They seem to be universally hated by ranchers, they always seem to be on the verge of starvation. I recall seeing one in a PBS documentary who was unfortunate enough to wander onto some territory "owned" by wolves. They decended on him and tore him to shreds in just a few minutes.

Jeffrey, I thought it was amazing. He just sat there. A coyote downtown ! I took a not so good photo of one about a month ago while looking for birds near my house. I thought that was amazing.
