I am on a lease in West Texas and often times right at daylight or a little thereafter a group of coyote in one canyon will howl and shortly thereafter a group from a second canyon will howl, and it seems to progress down the line from one canyon to the next. After witnessing this morning splendor on several occasions it appears to me these various groups of coyote are trying to communicate with one another?? It is really cool and I often times will just stop and listen to this spectacle of nature (and at the same time be glad I'm not at work). On one cold morning in Texas a couple of years ago a rather large and mangy coyote ran out in front of my Tennessee Walking horse....well, we ran this coyote down and I shot it with my bird gun with bird shot and killed it(off the back of the horse). I think it may have been sick because normally I think a horse would have a hard time running a coyote down. But it was fun and something I think I will remember even when I'm an old man.
