What are we going to do when the wolf packs start coming? I suppose then we will take them off the list and start managing the population as our friends in the northern part of the state have been begging for...

They are here in the Lake Minnetonka Area. They followed my golden retriever out of the woods at Purgatory Park. That probably explains the rash of missing Cat signs in this area. Though they are scared of humans and run away at the sight of you. So be on your guard for your pet!!

A 19-year-old woman hiking alone died after being attacked by coyotes in Canada last year. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=8937737 Coyotes may or may not be becoming more aggressive, but they are certainly becoming more used to humans, and likely less afraid.

Coyotes can't be rehabilitated and they don't taste like chicken, so shot them.

We have them here in Blaine as well. In the Cloverleaf Townhome area. Five cats are missing and two dogs have been attacked that I know of. I've seen the coyotes while walking late PM and early AM hours. I found my cat Riley half eaten by one.

Give me a stinking break! This is Minnesota, you dopes. A coyote sighting??? Seriously now. That's like a squirrel or bird sighting. They're everywhere in the Twin Cities, including parts of Minneapolis. We hear them howling half the time at night. Knock it off. Get up off the coach and move around a bit.
