Hey Tim,
I have the "large varmits" in the yard pretty much every other day. Especially this winter and always in Oct/Nov. The problem is the issue of houses a bit too close. In fact, we have a pair of coyotes that I'm trying to figure out how to eradicate (without getting the HOA posse at my doorstep). My idea of sneaking out in a ghillie suit with a suppressed AR early in the AM with some stinky beef doesn't seem to pass muster with my wife. Instead I've been wacking them with an airsoft -- how tame is that?
