We tend to leave the coyotes and foxes alone unless a sick or injured animal shows up.



How about the hundreds of cases where they've killed family pets? Btw, 50-60 years ago you never saw a coyote or a fox around here (Rhode Island) and there was never a problem with rabbits overrunning things

Flying Anvils and anything "Acme" or "Ajax" has a potential lethal impact to anyone in the area.

I know Glock does not make rifles that's why I was so surprised to see this rifle
Glock has a manufacturing plant in Southern NH.
I ask the Ranger about the rifle and he said that Glock was looking into rifle manufacturing and they made a small amount and gave them to NH Fish and Game to try out.
I don't know what became of them or know what caliber it was.

Wile E. Coyote is the one of the only characters that would be trapped by the cage in the board game, Mouse Trap, when he turned the crank. Flying anvils or any of the supplies by "Acme" or "Ajax" inevitably get him instead of his target. In any event, I think that Road Runner is either owner or a co-owner of Acme. If Wile E. started using stuff labelled A-1, I would definitely clear the area since those products work pretty well for Marvin the Martian.

That Eludium PU-36 Explosive Space Mod-Yoo-Lay-Torr never seems to work for Marvin.
Bugs Bunny righteously NEVER loses.

They are especially susceptible to Lead "poisoning" from devices as small as .223 Remington/5.56 all the way through .50 BMG.

Every animal has a job to do in creation, and that includes coyotes. If you're worried about your pets (and that's a valid concern if you have coyotes around) bring them in at night.

Are you talking real skunks or the class of political leaders we have here? If it is the real ones, we had a total population crash of both skunks and coons back about 12-13 years ago from what a trapper friend told me was a mutated canine virus brought in by coyotes. We are just beginning to see skunks and coons again in the last 2-3 years.

I live near Joliet.

As far as I am concerned, the ONLY job a coyote has is to serve as a target.
