I know a guy in southern Alberta[Medicine Hat] that was in the process of building a house with a semi-fenced back yard.He was mostly working outside so he could keep an eye on his toddler that was playing on a swing set out back.The day was uneventful and he had to step inside to get something for a second and he was quite horrified to see a large coyote 6 feet away from his kid sitting on it's haunches watching the child swing back and forth .Debating ,should I or shouldn't I? The father let fly with the hammer and the coyote suddenly remembered he had an appointment elsewhere.No doubt in my mind what he was thinking.100% opportunist! Too bad he didn't have a gun.Harold
