Title: Apple eating coyotes
Post by: baldopepper on September 12, 2016, 09:44:41 AM: Threw out a few apples below the house to get a few deer pic's (which I did, over 170) but the coyotes seem to enjoy them also. Did'nt realize they'd eat apples

If a coyote can get it in their mouth, they will eat it.

They really go to town after they start fermenting

They need thinning badly, can't sleep some nights for all the howling and carrying on they do. I'd do it this fall but don't want to bring in the local bears that close to the house.

My previous dog LOVED apples.
