>>96898similar thing happened here minus all the disease bullshit but the coyotes started eating a lot of peoples dogs and becoming a nuisance onto themselves. My cousin was hiking and saw one in front of him. He looked and they then noticed that there was also one on either side of him and one behind him. Scared him a little. Anyway, they put permanent open season on them and their population is now getting back in line. Man is the apex predator, as it should be.
