So, there's this pack of wild coyotes behind my house that have been howling...

[Writer]

for the last three f'ing nights! It's like Mutual of Omaha's wild kingdom. It's especially bad when they encounter raccoons. The howling and snarling lasts for a good half-hour at least, and typically in the middle of the night.

What am I supposed to do with this pack of wild coyotes? Is there an end to "coyote season?" Will they go find a winter coyote habitat so I can actually sleep in peace?

1. Maybe you could try reasoning with them?

help them arrive at some kind of agreement with the raccoons? I am so glad chipmunks and squirrels are my only problems (varmint related that is;) )

2. You mean have a coyote-raccoon summit?

Interesting idea. ((rubs chin))

5. Perhaps mediated by a cougar and a bunny?

(trying to maintain the BOP in the animal kingdom)

10. Yeah maybe a mountain lion and a bunch of prairie dogs.

That might work.

[mcctatas]

11. Well now you've moved beyond a summit and into a whole

NATO situation, I don't know if the prairie dogs will go for that;)

3. What state do you live in?

:shrug:

I think I saw one once where I live in CT. It was in my front yard under a shrub right after a snowstorm and then it ran to the back and up the hill.

4. Colorado... Boulder County. n/t

7. Thanks.

So I take it you see a lot of them?

:hi:

[Writer]

8. I never actually SEE them, but I hear them.

I do see a lot of foxes, however. At least I did when I lived in Northern CO.

Maybe it's some high schoolers hiding behind bushes and making howling noises?

6. Hire this bird:

Problem solved.

9. That's great, but unfortunately the government is having to bail out the Acme Company.

So I don't know if that would work.

(Meep-beep!)

[Ptah]

12. Well the coyote will just have to get his ineffective and expensive

devices from some other member of the military-industrial complex.

I'll suggest Blackwater.
