re: #213 cliffster
I’d never carry a gun while I ran.. hard enough to get used to carrying a phone. But if I ever came by a coyote, I’d carry a gun from then on. One coyote, not a problem. But 20 of them and you’ve got bad times. And there’s usually closer to 20 than 1 at a time.
In this case, it took only two: Teenage folk singer Taylor Mitchell killed by coyotes.
I am happy to share my property with wildlife if they clearly understand who the dominant species is. I am ill disposed toward people who want to help erode that understanding.
