They usually come out around dusk but I have also seen them during the day in forested areas. They hang out around talus fields and predate on porcupines among other things. You have to sit pretty silent for a while as they are pretty timid.

Next round:

The Roundtable interview should be a hoot. George Carlin's brother and the Mad magazine editor or publisher, I forget which, are frequently part of the scandalous crew.

Another else notice the coyotes taking resident on top of the trapps this past weekend?

Chris this is from Port Murry, NJ

I'm sure the state is warming up their "It's not a mtn lion, it's a large dog, if it IS a ML then it's an escaped one from captivity" lie.

Yeah, lots of dogs can drag a large buck around by picking the head and shoulders off the ground and walking straight ahead. I miss our ML, the Canada geese and deer populations are rising again.

I lived in Port Murry when I was three.

Been making the rounds for a few months. First report to ECF came from Alabama.

It's from south Texas.

Another eight hundred miles to go before they hit Port Murry.
