I must say.today of all days I agree with momma , bout killing the coyotes....the one that attacked my hen today. was on my FRONT porch........and didnt scare away even after my son showed himself with gun.........now that is just to plain close........I loath killing for no reason......but today ,well.just had to. I had just been out there swimming with my little grandbaby. I agree,we are the cause of them having nowhere to go.but put to the choice today.us or them.........its got to be them
