Thankful Thursday. Thirsty Three Times Think Thickish

[WhatTheDuckingDuck]

My bears seem to be gone, but look what decided to take their place, I pulled the cards today.

The picture below is from the same camera, it shows how close they are to my barn.
When I closed the doors tonight the coyotes were singing in mass. Give one shivers to hear them that close.

I hear ya there. They come right up to the house. It hasn’t happened since we moved here yet, but it has in the past.

 

[WhatTheDuckingDuck]

We have them on three sides of us and at least 3 packs.
I love listening to them. They sound wicked cool. I just don't need them on my property.
Too many birds to do the urine trick any more.

Does that even work?

The low for today was 14°F at 2:30 AM. It is already all the way up to 33°F now.

Breezy today?

Breezy today?

I would not call it breezy. Windy, with a bite to it, yes.

A byting wind is not a joy in my experience.

I can’t even trap them there, as I would catch my dog, barn cats or a wolf. I would get less prison time for murdering the WW than I would having a wolf in a trap. I can hope the wolf pack moves a little closer to drive them out.

The wolves are more leery of the buildings, but that might be why the coyotes are so close.

There is a bite here today. 17 now.

Same. It’s an 18mph breeze with a cold kiss. Not bad though.

 

[duluthralphie]

Bob, do you have wolves there? If you do, Are they some of the ones the transplanted from here?

Would you like some or some more?

True story
This doctor went on a coyote hunt one was quite a bit larger than the rest, I saw pics it was huge. I don’t know exactly how GFP got involved, but they were and sent it to get tested. It was 51% coyote, 49% wolf. Had it been the other way around, he’d be in some trouble. That was in SD.
