I will keep Rex away from the coyotes, you all are right - no way do we want to take a chance that they are rabid ...

It may be pronounced "the".

Tony, that was an excellent response and the snip above reminded me that on my TV cable there is an "outdoor" channel that I subtitle "See a beautiful
animal, see a beautiful animal die"
I have been consistently blown away by the level of bloodlust that these people show. It is common to see someone who has spent months feeding deer or
bear finally climb up a tree near the food dispenser and hide and wound the animal at close range with an arrow. After all the highfiving and "Praise
Jesus what a beautiful (running away dying in agony) creature.", they wander back to the lodge to wait for the animal to die so they won't be in any
danger when they follow the blood trail to the corpse.
What a challange! What a manly persuit! They can run on endlessly about the details of a deers antlers, but Bernie Madoff will be a free man before
you'll hear them talk about slaughtering, cutting, wrapping, freezing, and cooking the meat.
The "other side" hasn't yet evolved out of killing animals for fun. This is compounded by the bible being no friend of animals. Given that it is the
Federal Religion, there is little hope for kinder gentler times in this country.
How are you supposed to debate a teapartier when their idea of a response to one of my questions was to deny that that the planet was anywhere near
630,000 years old!
(the age of the first of eight times the Mediterranean
Sea dried up and re-filled, and the perfect germ to grow the biblical myth of a god sending a great flood.)
Yeah Tony, I'm down to fighting back just enough to maintain my dignity.

I have seen dogs on the streets that look worse than that coyote. I will feed the dogs, but not the coyotes. Coyotes rely on their ability to catch
rabbits and mice to eat. If you feed them they will lose their ability to hunt. Better to shoo them off. Sorry, but I would not feed them. Also,
they carry diseases including rabies and the shots for rabies are very painful.
If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going

LOL
Shari told me this is a post that will not die.. unreal..
Well i saw this same yote on the beach at Lowtide.. and it looks just old and senile, I didn't notice anything that would indicate being rabid...
however NO way I'd try and find out.. much less allow my pups out of the truck around him/her?
But still a odd siteing at best, and i bet the iold dog would like to know he's BajaNomad infamous..

Yup...a thread that will grow..and grow..and grow.
You've stirred up the grandmother of hornet's nests, shari.....
My morning's take on all this is ..after my 4th cup of high test java...
...It's got something for everybody..including tree huggers, slob hunters, the real hunters, environmentalists, naturalists, arm-chair philosophers,
atheists, bible thumpers, good roads, bad roads, left-wingers, right-wingers, sane-wingers like me, bigots, animal lovers, animal haters, whiskey
drinkers, white zinfandel drinkers, chili with meat, chili just beans, Happy Holiday'ers v.s. Merry Christmas greeters...
And by Odin's Hammer!...I'm pretty sure that's the Klu Klux Klan rearing it's ugly head in the distance, just behind that Gay Coalition of Ranchero
Grandmothers.
Almost nostalgic...sigh..
Yes, congratulations, shari....It's grown into a natural waste disposal site for everybody to...VENT!
It's a GOOD place to be a coyote...screw those nasty mountain lions.
Hmmmm...Say, can we talk..shhhh.. stimulus, pork, and taxes here?
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Ya know.....I have a problem with those folks who put out bird seed.
These wild birds become dependent on sunflower seeds and the like in places where sunflowers aren't even part of the natural local ecology.
And don't get me or Skeet going on the possible inclusion of hemp seeds in the bird seed.....poor sparrows hooked on pot....they will be looking for
crack feeders next if we keep this up.....we are creating a very unnatural and dangerous step in the vicious cycle of addictions folks.
Let the buggers freeze to death if they can't find their own food....clearly it is god's (or is it Darwin's ?) will if they can't find some sustenance
on their own.
Roger,
Thanks for keeping this important discussion going

I used to feed birds, placing seed on all my turned upside down hubcaps. The birds were happy. They were singing. Now they'll all dead thanks to
someone whom stole the hubcaps.

I'm gonna weigh in on this with perhaps an unorthodox opinion. Most wild animals are opportunistic feeders. Certainly they have evolved feeding
preferences and rituals, developed by natural selection over millions of years. But on balance most species eat opportunistically, they eat what they
can, when they can. While I am not advocating it, I do not believe that feeding by humans, even over sustained periods, is detrimental in itself. If
the feeding stops, the animal will revert to the ingrained, hard-wired ways it has always eaten in the past several million years. This
theory/opinion applies only to the procurement of food itself. Obviously there are ramifications if the feeding causes the animal to be exposed to
increased human contact and all the dangers inherent in that. But I don't think that human feeding, in itself, is detrimental to the survival of the
individual animals.
carpe diem!

I'm feeding the local (CO) foxes as I speak . They come round regularly for milk bone dog biscuits pumpkin pie or whatever is available. I often see
them deep throating a mouse or with the current local obnoxious gray squirrel in their mouth so I'm not too worried about them forgetting how to
survive without me around. They are true opportunist. I'm sure they are bummed when I split for Baja but they always are back and looking fine and
healthy a week after I return.

Ken,
Well said.... I agree. My experience is when the food in front of me near the couch runs out, I eventually meander back to the kitchen and forage in
the fridge or cupboards,
The plaintiff howl of , "Honey, make me a sammich" sometimes is the unanswered call of the wild.....or so it seems.
The value of herding/pack hunting seems to diminish in some survival situations
Don't believe everything you think....
