Last night I was up sick, really don't think my body has much left, basically hemorrhaging blood.
I took the week off prior to this one, and was better. Monday I come back, and immediately start bleeding, worse each day. All I did was sit around, play games on my computer, or sleep last week (aside from cat stuff).
The bathroom has an exhaust fan, bringing in sounds from outside quite well. About 9am I heard a yelp and then what sounded like a dozen or more coyotes howling, cackling,barking and such. I grabbed the shotgun and went to the door, I hear noises when I'm in the bathroom, but when I go out I hear nothing most times.
Last night it sounded like a dozen or more coyotes when I went out, just out of sight in the woods. I shot the top of a tree in a direction no one lives. The yelping stopped and after 5 minutes or so you could hear one whimpering somewhere. I didn't wound one unless it was 30 ft up a tree, I'm guessing it was a fight of some sort. A bit later I heard growling and barking along with whimpering, so I shot again in the same manner. I assume one come back to finish the other off?
I've never heard so many in my life, and we've lived here for decades. It's illegal to shoot or hunt them at night, all you can do Is scare them off, during the day it doesn't matter...the time of day when you never see them and they aren't a threat around here...
