Winter 2009 Cover Story: Call of the Coyote
Simple ways to make your property less attractive to this stealthy predator
Bill Borgwardt never guessed he was about to save a life as he started his drive back to his acreage north of Edmonton, Alta. He was just about home when he stumbled across a fierce life-and-death struggle; a coyote (Canis latrans) had isolated a neighborhood housecat out in the open and was slowly circling in for the kill. The cat was up on its hind legs valiantly trying to fend off the attack, but there was little doubt about the eventual outcome, unless the man were to
intervene. Borgwardt honked his horn, and
the sudden sound startled both animals. The
coyote ran back into the woods, while the
cat streaked off to the safety of his home.
