Ha! We had a former neighbor that told us he was shooting at a coyote with a real registered AK-47, and shot the power line in two
Coyotes can fly?
I wish my state would set a policy like that. There's protected open space on three sides of where I live, and we hear coyotes back there at night when the windows are open. They've been attacking cows on nearby farms as well as house pets here and there, and IMHO it's only a matter of time before a child gets attacked. But ... we aren't supposed to shoot them. Or trap them. And I'm not allowed to drive my Jeep back there, so I can't even try to run them down.
And 'yotes are no more a native species here than they are in Virginia.
