[AT] Thanksgiving Day tractor chores+trees

[Mike Sloane]

They will take fawns and run down older/sick/wounded deer, but can't do 
anything with healthy adults. A friend nearby who raises chickens shot a 
lone coyote that weighed in at 45 lbs, which is very unusual. He sent a 
picture, and it wasn't a coydog either. Here in the east, the coyotes 
will "yip" at night, not howl.

As far as fox, most of the ones around here got wiped out during a 
rabies epizootic, but they are coming back now. A lot of them have 
mange, which is why the local fox hunt types won't let their hounds 
anywhere near them - they send out a guy dragging a "fox scent" bag the 
day before and let the hounds chase that. Strange people.
