    I saw that on the news this afternoon. The girls being attacked were rescued by a passing motorist who drove up and honked at the coyote until the girls could get in his vehicle.
    Oh well. I guess it's better than sitting across the street and just filming it with the cellphone.
    Know where I can get a couple trained coyotes? :green:
    Sounds like it'll work better than offering candy.

    It's only a matter of time before somebody shoots that coyote. It's staying in the same general area. But with all the open land on the Brinkman Ranch plus Panther Creek it may be awhile.

    If I lived near there I'd use an air rifle. Not technically a firearm.

    Exactly. The dispatch of a dangerous animal, known to attack certainly justifies use of force and discharge of a firearm.
    Ordinances be damned.

    Yep.

    If any animal or person is attacking me, I will defend myself legally and safely.

    Now, the Brinkman Ranch should be plenty large enough to hunt coyotes on regardless of it’s location in the city limits. They should just get someone out there to kill all of the coyotes on the Ranch.

    I was taught in hi skul sophomore biology to kill a suspected rabid animal by shooting center of mass, being careful not to shoot it in the head. With gloved hands (& a knife), cut off the head, put it in a bucket & put the head bucket inside a 2nd, larger bucket full of ice cubes - and haul it to Austin (state health dept) right now! Pretty heady stuff to a 15 year old in mid 20th century.

    Wow. Had not heard that. A couple mountain lions have been spotted north of 380 near a couple new neighborhoods.

    About a year ago, I was working in Beaumont; someone shot a good video of a cougar walking across a vacant lot in Orange, in broad daylight. Some 20 years ago, a young male cougar was tagged by biologists in South Dakota; then killed by traffic in New Hampshire only three weeks later. That is an incredible distance.

    I grinned when the news said the coyote "died". No explanation how. Hmmmm. The Shadow knows.
    I thought the same thing! Very peculiar how the news media didn’t report HOW it died. The local CBS report had just said “a dead coyote had been found”! Said it was being tested for rabies. (Kinda implying that either maybe rabies was the cause or had gotten struck by a car). I thought, well.... “OR maybe, high velocity lead poisoning”.

    Next day the newspaper had a picture from a Frisco resident showing 4 bobcats in their backyard. Having just moved to this general area after living 20 years in a very rural area it made me chuckle. I lived in far north Plano 35 years ago when it was the northern edge and had similar "panics". After waiting inside Whataburger for my order last night and seeing two police SUVs descend on the store and take some guy in the dining area for some unknown reason, the human animal is still the highest risk for any threat.

    No stranger to coyotes and watched what looked to be a huge one heading into the barn in broad daylight in Grimes Cty earlier this week.

    No reference for size in the photo, but I'm assuming this is his, and is around 4" in width.

    one down but couple of them are still up & about in the area.
    1. 2 weeks ago two coyote were seen in a gated residential area around coit & main around 2300, they stood their ground and didn't move even with car horn & light.
    2. like a week ago, a skinny/ malnourished coyote ran across independence way off main street around 1815
    3. around 2030 in a residential area around the same area, a mid size coyote was seen crossing the road.

    one thing that was common in all three cases --all the coyotes were seen running to or standing around the creek.
