I hear howling and yipping almost every night from coyotes, some are real close like 100 yards.

Last yr I let my lab out in the morning who is 95 lbs. I went to take a shower and when I got out I could hear my dog barking, she never barks only when something or someone is threatening her. I went to the door to look and she was doing the Mexican hat dance with two coyotes. maybe 40-50 pounds each. The minute those coyotes saw me, they bolted because around here, they know I would go back and get my 22, end of story.
