Yes, I can see why you'd rather have coyotes than deer...

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but, yeah, coyote are better than deer.

I have a big garden, and the first couple of years I lived here, the deer ate the hell out of it. They regularly destroyed my strawberries and raspberries. Since the coyotes showed up, no problems at all.

Now, I haven't got myself any small pets (like a cat) for fear the coyotes might get them, even though my neighbors have an outdoor cat that is around my house all the time. But, really, coyotes are pussies. They run like hell at any sound. If I'm up in the garden, and see them (rare, since they're nocturnal), all I have to do is cough, and they get the hell out of Dodge.

I was being sarcastic, but you give good reasons. I take it back.

Heh. Deer are to country dwellers what rats and pigeons are to city dwellers.
