It seems that the coyotes have moved in big time in  the last year into our areea just South of Galena, OH.   The two individuals I have seen (if that is what I saw) were like slightly small german shepard dogs, with a medium bushy tail.  A rather sturdy animal, not at all like a slightly built fox.    Ocassionly there are very loud group sounds like a person screaming, but louder, and trailing into animal sounds. 

In addition I am fearful for our local pets and wild turkeys.   I would certainly  kill all of them if I could, but they are very wary and seldom seen.  So, how do other people feel about this situation?   Do my observations confirm  the presence   of coyotes?    Gene
