Found this article about a coyote almost getting away with a lady's terrier. Interesting to read the comments by wildlife officials.


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...ote-attack.html

Coyote ugly: Boozer the brave little terrier lives to tell the tale after being savaged by wild beast as it roamed his neighborhood

• An Illinois couple's small dog survived a coyote attack Wednesday morning
• The terrier was attacked in its backyard in Northfield, just above Chicago
• Vicky Barnaby ran out of the house screaming and chased off the wild animal
• The frightening ordeal was caught on the family's home surveillance camera

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources website says that coyotes "are not likely to cause problems," despite common misconceptions to the contrary.

In the span of seconds, the coyote had the terrier pinned down near a wooden fence bordering the Dinges' backyard.

While individual coyotes may sometimes kill or injure domestic pets, young livestock, or poultry, these incidents are typically preventable by removing resources that might attract coyotes.

Northfield police Chief William Lustig warns Illinois residents to never leave pet or human food in containers outside, to always store trash in tightly sealed containers, and to refrain from feeding birds, as the feed can attract other wildlife that coyotes prey upon.

"Some coyotes become accustomed to human activity and may approach close to buildings, people, or pets," the Illinois Department of Natural Resources site adds.

"Cats and small dogs should be observed closely and placed in fenced areas (yards, kennels) when coyotes are known to be present."
As Vicky Dinges ran out of the house, apparently screaming, the coyote took off in the opposite direction and Boozer jumped up right away, running back to his home.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources website says that coyotes "are not likely to cause problems," despite common misconceptions to the contrary.

After watching the video, Chris Anchor, chief wildlife biologist of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, described the incident to the Chicago Tribune as a “defensive attack.”

"If the coyote had wanted to kill that small dog, the dog would have been dead within seconds," he said.

The coyote was likely defending its territory during its reproductive season, Anchor said.

Lustig told the Tribune that while the police department does not provide coyote trapping services, it is working closely with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to monitor the situation.

Larry,
Last February,a total of six folks were attacked by coyotes while walking their dogs. Three dogs died,three were injured.

A friend's dog was killed in his front yard when it went out for his morning outing by three 'yotes. The next week a deer came crashing through his neighbor's sliding glass door with three 'yotes in pursuit.

Three women were attacked by a rabid bobcat.

The state DEEP says that we don't have a coyote problem.......

A friend of mine harvested over 60 coyotes nearby last year,most weighing more than 60 lbs!!!

Nope,no coyote problem.

Same folks that said there were no cougars in the state,then one got killed by a car. The state did a DNA on it and said that it came from S.Dakota,probably visiting for the week end no doubt!!!!

We're from the Gov't,we are here to help. Yep,uh-huh,right.

Wayne

I guess that is why I pack heat all the time.

Same here in northern Michigan. DNR for years said that cougar sightings were misidentified house cats or bobcats. The proof was a picture of one down by Lansing. Used to know a lady years about 15 years ago that worked for the DNR. Her and her husband were vacationing in the upper peninsula and they seen a cougar crossing the road. Went to the nearest field office to report it. She was told that she had seen a bobcat. She not so politely told the officer there that she was a DNR officer out of roscommon and she knew what the hell a bobcat was and this was much larger. Guess the only way to really prove it is with a carcass, but probably get in some kind of trouble,killing an endangered species, at least in Michigan.

Brent,
Yep,it seems that the Gov't agencies are in total denial about anything especially when they were proven wrong.

A couple of months ago a woman in a neighboring community took a clear video of a cougar walking around a parking lot. It was not a fuzzy image and the size could be compared to the cars it walked by.

When it was shown to the State Conservation folks,they had "no comment"

When ever I see a poster on a phone pole or in the super market bulleting board posting about a missing Fluffy or Fido,I know that it is sure sign of coyote activity.

A quick look at the tracks in a recent snow fall will give you some idea of what is going on out there.
