Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Help Pond and Critters Proximity to House (Coyote)

My knowledge of wildlife in general, and Warner Brothers cartoons in specific, cause me to have no trouble believing that coyotes would become relatively more carefree in the absence of a rottweiler.

Hopefully someone with more coyote experience can comment. We used to have a lot more coyotes around than we seem to lately. My wife speculates that the bobcat that now frequents the area cuts down on the coyote presence. I can report that two decades worth of our occasionally free roving beagles and labs (our current black lab is outside right now making the farm safe from heffalumps and/or deer) have never had trouble from the 'yotes or bobcats, only road traffic.
