Well its official we are dealing with not one but 4 coyotes 
i havent lost anything to them but i set up a remote camera and when my dog started barking at the coop i snapped pics. I got 4 skinny young(judging by size) boys, digging at my coop. They look bad, skin and bones and maybe only 4-6 months. Im thinking they lost their mom to the wildfire we recently had. I also noticed a very young fox trying to catch my ducks in broad day light last week. And a couple nights ago my friend found 2 baby deer in her horse pasture eating the sweet feed. I feel so bad for all of these orphans. So tomorrow 4 traps are getting set my neighbor is kindly give me 4 chickens that went to freeze camp Sunday to bait the boys with, i think 8lbs of meat EACH is gonna be hard to resist 
and I've got wildlife fish and game standing by to transport these boys to rehab and then off to the smoky mountains! If they don't some quick i might take pity in these boys and give them more food. O on a funny note my neighbor called me an idiot when i went to ask for freezer birds, he said "silly girl, you dont go makin friends with the beasts that is trying to eat them animals of yours! Trap and shoot, thats what i say." Well i said "i can't kill them if they havent killed anything. I cant blame them for coming up to my coops looking for a meal, they dont know the difference between my pets and what looks like a free buffet." He goes " girl your a kind hearted idiot."
