All through the years I have heard of a
lot of different opinions and stories about Coyotes. Some people love them, and
some hate them, some people couldn’t recognize them from a wolf if there life
depended on it. But I love to see a keeper of the prairie out running on the
range. I have never seen a coyote take anything larger than jackrabbits, but
there are stories that they have taken down Bison before. I have also heard
stories of Coyotes taking lambs, or calves. This is probably true but I don’t
think this is widespread across the continent. I think the real fact is that we
are down to only a very small percentage of the original animal and plant
diversity that was here one hundred and fifty years ago. These species are
merely surviving with whatever is left. I know for a fact that things are
changing just from my own documentation in the last thirty years. I think that
pollution is definitely a real problem but it is bigger than we think because it
just blows out and blue-sky shows thru for a day or two and then we see it
again. If we can just hold on to this eco-system and try to let it rebound, it
will surely heal. I can tell you that I have seen
Coyotes’ out all night catching voles, mice and rodents of all kind. No doubt
we would be overrun with mice and other knawing critters without the help of the
Coyote. You will know it is a healthy eco-system when the YOTES are fat.
That is why I love to
see a Coyote at - “First Light” Hope you like
the shot!
Thank You, David
