so should I have finished my cigar?

Ya, they don't mess with humans. Probably because they know some people shoot them on site.

Fairly common here in SoCal. My son had one of his cats taken by coyotes. Last one I saw was pretty big, but he kept his distance and kept walking...

Meh. More of a lack of habitat than yotes. Farmers killed off/ drove out more of them when they started plowing ditch to ditch years ago and eliminated most of the fence rows the pheasants used for nesting/ breeding.

The yotes run the RR tracks by us regularly, they help keep the stray cat/dog/small kid population in check.
