Got enough coyotes in my neck of Illinois (N/E Lake county) so that I hear them yapping it up right here in Hawthorn Woods, a community of 4,000 folks mostly on one acre lots. My neighbor found the head and spinal column of a small dog in his yard a few weeks ago and owned it to the coyotes. This man is a seasoned hunter and knows what he is talking about. Any folks dumb enough to let a small dog loose in this area kinda deserves what he gets. We have waaaay too many geese here and we had a doe birth her fawn in my backyard. Wonder if the little one wound up the same as that pooch. Just my 2C worth. Chops
