Garrison's absolutely right about coyotes. I grew up in farm and ranch country down on the Rio Grande and they elude traps, guns and every other effort to kill them out. They'll never be an endangered species. I can't help but admire them.

Learned to not let little kids three and under outside, especially it they're criers whe living in San Diego. Coyotes are wonderful creatures, but they are wild and wily for sure.

I wish he had not talked about the coyotes killing the dog. I lived out in the woods where there were two dens of them. They are not loners and I lost my beloved kitty to them. 😢 His stories usually make me laugh and smile but this just pulled me down into depression thinking about my little girl. The terror and pain she underwent still eats at me after these last 10 years. I did not need to be reminded of it.

This performance has particular poignance in some details. GK always manages to story some non-fiction into these shows and this one has several, especially as I can relate by being near his age and raised on a small, midwestern farm. His bit starting at about 9:15 reflects accurately the attitudes I witnessed as a young 4-H member - anything wild was considered a nuisance. I worked as a park ranger for one season at an exotic animal drive-through park and had the duty of riding in a tour bus that had many elderly visitors and I was there to answer any questions they might have about the creatures they'd see. One lady spoke up, and shocked me - she said quite pointedly that animals that didn't serve us in some way should be wiped off the planet..! I had no words for several minutes but there were sighs heard amongst the others there.

Coyotes are NOT loners and are more of a pack animal than wolves. Anyone who lives in the west will attest to this.

They're diverse. Young coyotes will take off singly and browse on their own, I've had them in my back yard in a suburb city to Wichita, Ks. You can hear them from time to time, a pack howling and yipping in the distance. I often wonder how much is out there to support them. I was raised on a small farm in south-central Kansas and we had sheep and cattle - in the late '40s. We occasionally lost a sheep, supposedly to coyotes but when we finally we able to witness the trouble, it was a pack of dogs.
