The varmit report
Tom saw a big coyote in the back yard today. Maybe he was hunting the turkeys that have consumed one of our three big beds of tulips. And we've discovered that Fred likes potato salad. Just another dull day Chez Howard.
Update: Ohhhhh, this is not good: BP says that there's also a significantly enlarged groundhog hole in the south pasture.
. . . their young are born 60-63 days later, usually in a ground den (often a renovated woodchuck or fox den), but sometimes in hollow logs or rock caves. Litter sizes vary from 2-10, with 5-6 being the average.
I do not want Fred, Geraldine, and the neighbors' cats to become coyote lunch. Time to get out the old .22:
The Environmental Conservation Law allows ‘problem coyotes' to be killed at other times of the year. Section 11-0523 says coyotes that are "injuring private property may be taken by the owner, occupant or lessee... at any time in any manner."
It's a jungle out here.
