Jiff, she is my protection from the wolves and coyotes. I was installing my new mailbox on the road tonight in the dark (snow plow-1, mailbox-0) when the coyotes crossed the road into my bush. They are about 50 meters from me and howling like banshys. As much as I am not afraid of them, when they howl like that it scares the crap out of me. When I shine the flashlight on them they stop, look, and howl more.

Oh I know coyotes all right! When I was on the farm they got a number of my cats and lured one of my retrievers to her death underneath the wheels of a car. They had NO fear until they learned about guns...

We were always worried about them going after the horses, but it turns out that's the one thing they WERE scared shitless of. Still, there was always somebody close by with even just a .22 to frighten them off if necessary. When the pack started howling out in the dark, though, it was positively unholy...
