Coyotes Eyes Glow Green

“Well last night was interesting. A couple of days ago i found a dead deer in the woods about 100 feet from my back door. Last night I went to let my doogs out, they are not fenced in except with an invisible fence, and they went nuts. I grabbed a spotlight that i keep near the door and say 2 coyotes eating the deer. I quickly called both dogs inside. I watched the coyotes tearing at the deer for a little then it seemed like they got scared of the light and walked off into the woods.
The freakiest thing was that there eyes glowed green in my light. They kept turning and looking back at me as they walked off.
I checked again several times last night and saw them a couple more times.
I guess I am going to have to get rid of the carcass somehow.
They seem awfully brave.”

“i'd get rid of that carcass ASAP rob

have fun!”

“Drag the carcass further (much further) into the woods and let the coyotes have it. They're just doing their job, cleaning up.”

“Last night we were watching a movie and heard coyotes howling very close to the house. I went downstairs and cracked a window to hear them better, but the howling stopped. I must have spooked them.

About 11:30 PM, they started howling a yipping. The cats jumped up and ran for cover when they heard it. These coyotes were really close to the house. It didn't last long.

This morning I went out to look for tracks in the snow. It looks like there were 2 of them and they had been not 50 feet from the back of the house. There were snowshoe hare tracks all over the place that they seemed to be following, but I had not seen where they had killed anything. I walked all over our 7.5 acres this morning following the coyote tracks. I wanted to prevent to same dead porcupine-dog incident that I had last year where coyotes had killed and eaten a porcupine, but left fur and quills that the dog got into.

I was amazed at how close they had gotten to the house.”

“wow, both really interesting stories. Coyotes have been making a giant comeback in the northeast. I've been hearing them more and more on hiking trips. I heard them a few weeks ago on a trip on the AT in Jersey. They're getting pretty close to urban areas. Some suburban areas of Philadelphia now have coyotes.”

“Maybe we need to re-introduce wolves to keep the coyote numbers down ;o)”

“I've heard many coyotes close to population where you and I sometimes hike from ENS near Pine Grove Furnace just this summer.”

“We have them in our city of over 100,000. The DNR has been trapping them because they've been taking people's pets. It's not unusual to see them trotting along in cemetaries and sitting watching traffic go by.”

“ENS, Sarge, I wouldn't be surprised if those coyotes have been there all along. They are an amazing animal when it comes to blending in and adapting to urban sprawl. Very similar to a whitetail deer, they can survive in the smallest woodlots and, if keeping nocturnal due to pressure, can exist completely unnoticed.

Back in October, while backpacking in the Hoist Lakes area in MI, the coyotes yipped and howled from dusk until dawn. It was by far the most vocal pack I've ever heard.”

“This past summer I watched a coyote run across my back yard; about 20' from the house. All summer long, when I have my bedroom window open, I can hear them howl. The stray cat population in my town has dropped to zero, and the deer no longer hang out in my back yard.”

“It seems that nearly every few weeks on our community listserv I hear about a cat that wandered off or a small dog that hasn't come home in a few days. It's usually from people that are fairly new to the community.

Pets don't do well outdoors in our community. More often than not, they become a fisher cat's, coyote's, or bobcat's tasty little treat.”

“Leave the carcass alone. It will be gone in a week.”

“Well my wife was worried about the carcass and the coyotes continueing to eat it so she called the town. They were ther in 30 minutes with a truck to get it. That is the quickest I have ever seen my town do anything.
She said that one of the guys puked as the were dragging it out, LOL. It was pretty gross, they had eaten the insides out and most of the head.
I hope this doesn't piss them off, the coyotes that is.”

“They are closer then you think!

“They are getting really bad in my neighborhood, my wife called the other families on our street to tell them about it. One women said that she saw some at around the bus stop one morning. That s sort of scary since t was the elementary school stop. And it was daylight. Hmm mayby she will let me get that Mini 14 rifle that I have been wanting.”

“When me knees were better so I could run every day, encountered one on 48th Street near Lake Shore Drive in Chicago.”

“I hear them just about every night spring-fall in the park (16,000 acres) behind my house in Phoenix.”
