[Vision2020] Coyotes

[Dave]

Yes, I have noticed a serious up-tick in coyotes this year, actually 
starting last year.

I heard the demise of two neighborhood cat's the other night.  I'm 
keeping mine in.

I looked into it last year, no agency will deal with them. But all you 
need to shoot them is a nighttime endorsement on a hunting license.

What we need are wolves to restore the balance.
