Over the years, I have personally had several sightings of coyotes. Once, whilst driving down a well-traveled road, I spied a smallish coyote, looking sick, just standing there. When I get up in the night, I often look out of my alcove windows, especially when it's snowing. I saw two "dogs" coming along heading east, right in front of my mailbox. Rushed to the eastern window & looked down, they were about 8-10 feet from my house....and it was two quite large coyotes, traveling at a determined trot. You could tell that they were on their way to hunt! Had remodeling done upstairs about 4 years ago, & I was sleeping in a tent outside on my own land, & every night, you could hear the coyotes screaming, howling way back behind my neighbor's fields, in the woods. And one day, on an early Sunday morning last year, when I was still working part-time, I passed a field to the south of the highway, & 2 young coyote pups were fooling around. They were the youngest ones I've seen. I live in the country, but it's actually a tiny village, so they are everywhere. Just finished reading a book called The Voice of the Coyote, by J. Frank Dobie. Verrrry interesting, although it's quite an old book, about 1930ish.
