Rural/Farm Life

"In areas with little or no human activity, coyotes will hunt during the day, and when a litter of pups needs to be fed, they may have to hunt around the clock. Coyotes normally hunt alone or in pairs and rarely as a pack, unless the prey is a deer or other large animal." http://www.coyotesmarts.org/coyotes101/ There are lots of coyotes in Texas and I never seen them in packs or pairs. Always alone. Two cats in two different areas have been eaten by them. One was in the early evening on a back patio area in Austin. The othere in a different part of Austin just disappeared but it was in an area where there was nightly howling.
