Urban coyote attacks on rise, alarming residents

Urban coyote attacks on rise, alarming residents: "Since December, four people in the Denver area have been nipped or bitten by coyotes. A fifth told police a coyote lunged at him.

State wildlife officers have killed seven coyotes. An eighth was killed by a sharpshooter hired by Greenwood Village, in Denver's southern suburbs.
"

Greenwood Village is a municipality. Near us, an HOA hired a tracker because there were mountain lion sightings. He was walking around the area packing a .44 magnum. Have HOA, will travel.

But on the coyote front, these rascals are everywhere and they are hardy and smart. They aren't particularly afraid of people, either, although they would just as soon avoid us.
