We live out in the country on a farmstead; we do have someone that hunts coyotes (took 14 this year). Late at night we heard the pack of coyotes that were very, very close to the house (pond). We hear them all the time, but never this close. My husband thinks they got brave while we were on vacation and were drinking from the pond. Our dog was at the Holiday Doggie Day Care while we were away (rotty). At night because it is cold, we keep him in the garage and he wanted out bad last night but I kept him in. Have any of you had any experiences with coyotes coming extremely close to your pond? I would think my rotty could take care of himself, but not against a pack. Any deterrents you use? Turning the lights on house does scare them away. Just curious.
