I've been looking for a part-time job to help out in this tough economy, so I was gone this morning at a local support group. When I came home I walked by the kitchen window and saw the deer were stressed out.
Normally, they lay on the hill around and under the base and just chill out. But today their stance was just off enough to catch my eye.
This is what they were watching. A coyote was just on the other side of the little fence looking for something. I'm guessing a rabbit because we've had an influx of them lately. Hopefully this guy will help dwindle the population down a bit.
He didn't pay any attention to the deer but they never took their eyes off him.
The bear had to go potty so I waited until the coyote was out of site. Just in case, I let all three dogs out at once and followed suit with this in my hand. Yes, I would have stabbed him without hesitation if he'd come bounding out of the bushes.
It's a shame all the building around here is pushing the animals into the small area around me where we have acreage. It's at a slow pace now so here's hoping the animals can get a bit of relief for awhile.

I'm pretty sure a paintball gun would have done the trick. It works on them here.
I have one on the things to buy someday list. It's just a low priority right now.
Paintball guns are fun.
