Good luck!!

Last fall I was at my brother's at the edge of the woods. His cat is running at full speed towards the road with 2 coyotes on his ass. They caught up to his cat right in front of us but on the other side of the fence and heavy brush. We hear them crash into the brush and we started yelling and throwing sticks in their direction. Coyotes took off running in the other direction and about 2 minutes later his cat comes out sporting a new hair stile reminiscing of Billy Idol.

My brother says his cat no longer wonders in the woods.

I dont think anyone condemns taking coyotes anytime.

I think the only time Ive willingly not shot one was during the rut and my chances were (perceived by me) to be good. Turkey hunting Ive had too many come in to calls, I feel that toms have become much less vocal on the ground these days as a result.

Good luck getting a new pet, hopefully your daughter will understand but it sure isnt easy.

My pops used to let the cat sleep on his head when he was watching tv..damndest thing..i used to ask him if he was davey croketts italian brother enzo ..he would laugh...i miss them both

Kids are tough bud but it still sucks!!

Bet you thought i was gonna throw in a story about an old girl friend that had a nice cat that purr when petted just right..apparently it purred for a lot of other guys..eh C'est La Vie...why do i feel like breaking out in doris day?

Forgive us if we take your counting skills with a grain of salt.

Ace, don't take my word, check my citation.

Keep your cat inside and your daughter will be happy, your life will be easier.

One less source of drama.

And it's Dr. Andreadis, not Mr.

As for Coyotes there is no way in hell that anyone is going to reduce their numbers by hunting them. Studies have shown that the more you shoot the more they breed. Trapping is the only way to make a dent in the population. That would be trapping full time by a seasoned professional that knows the game.

Yotes are here to stay and it's only going to get worse. Add bobcats, & bears oh my and fluffy doesn't stand a chance outside.

If you and your family love your cat keep it inside where it is safe.

Spike - My current email address is Stanley only because I have a Stanley computer. I work for a temp agency since I retired, not Stanley and I can work any hours I chose. And yes, I did post to this site when I was a full time, salaried employee but only during personal time, much like Scott. The difference is taxpayers didn't pay my salary, a private business did. So if you're ok with Doc posting on the taxpayer's dime during 6.5 hour day then you should have not problem with me doing it either while I worked 10-12 hour days and weekends ( no OT pay, straight salary )

No, it's NOT Doctor, it's Mr unless you're going to operate on me. What do you think the odds are of that happening? :)

Scott - Why did I contact the CAES director? Because in my opinion government employees should be working, not surfing the web during work hours, even if you do only hour 6.5 hours. If the CAES director is ok with the way you represent his dept, well, all I can say is that's his problem. I find it offensive to have a government employee who doesn't bow hunt on this site talking to hunters as though he's the last word in game management and the only one with intelligent thought or opinion.

And to have someone working just 6-1/2 hour days in this day and age is simply amazing to me. Government employees wonder why those of us in the private sector have such a problem with your pay and benefits on our dime. I also find it quite disappointing that the director didn't find the need to respond to me directly, but rather just forward my email to you (sounds like I'm not the first to complain about you) and that just reinforces that our government officials could care less about the people that pay their wages.

I had to laugh when I read the part you said you take my concerns seriously!!! But I understand you have your director copied so that's your attempt at being civil.

Bye

Bye Bob. Don't go away mad, just go away.

Oh I get that you're going to relocate it now. Wouldn't broadcast that either.

As far as wildlife goes, homeowner's can protect their property on their own, you don't have to call a nwco. But, like Doc says, we as nwco's have to destroy all rabies vector species once they are removed from your site. You can shoot them yourself though as long as all other firearm laws are followed, blah, blah, blah. (note: some species are still protected and probably wouldn't fall under those rules, i.e. bobcats, fishers, black bears, etc. )
