Well, my neighbor found a new animal to feed. Coyotes. All night I hear them yipping, never ceases. When they find the garbage bags (walmart bags) in the treeline, they all start barking and pretty soon there's about 10 of them, though from the yipping, there has to be many more in the fields. I have a solution chambered in 7.62x54R with an excellent bore and good scout scope, and they're only 250 yards away, but there's a road between me and them. I actually had one come into my yard and start harassing my dog, who was chained to the truck. When I went outside to investigate, I thought it was my dog standing by the truck, about 10 or 15 feet away from me. I was wrong. The dog was hiding under the toolbox in the bed of the truck shaking. It was a giant mangy coyote and I only managed to hit it in the shoulder with a subsonic .22 round once, definitely not a fatal shot. I guess I got lucky he didn't decide to chew on me a little. The dog only had a toothmark and a few small patches of missing fur on the back of his neck, which I took him to the vet for, just in case...
As for the neighbor, he fed the bears, which became a dangerous situation and required multiple confrontations with him, the DNR and the landlord to put a stop to. I also had to pick up his garbage myself and take it to the landfill, which cost me because you're only allowed 3 bags per household per week. Seriously, I wonder if this dude is mentally ill?? FWIW, I did get my small game license. Guess I can start here at home. Problem is, I'm getting real short on sleep and lately the wind has been blowing from the south, which alerts them to my presence.
I've heard theres a bounty, anyone know how to collect?
