    It's a well-established fact that coyotes hate Canadian folk music. Ask Gordon Lightfoot to show you his scar some time.

    Yeah, I know I'm going to hell.

    I hear coyotes like Impalas.

    Growing up in rural SK, no one would even question someone shooting a coyote on their own land, any time of year.

    Not here it won't. They'll try and catch them and relocate them

    It's not as if this happens every day. The dog snatching was an isolated incident. It's the old thing: you take away their habitat and they have to move somewhere.

    Same thing as dogs. Farmers with livestock will shoot a stray dog on sight.

    And that family who just moved up from the city and thought country life would be great for the dog 'cause you could let it run free is incensed.

    Tough shit.

    My stepfather's family, each Thanksgiving, fills up on turkey then drives out to the coal mine lands in the northern part of the county. There, they get out handguns and load up while a designated teenager — dubbed "the runner" — gets on a 4-wheeler and proceeds to chase the coyotes out of the valleys. The men, by now atop the RV, take turns shooting at the coyotes.

    Needless to say, there is whisky and much cheering involved.

    Miraculously, the paramedics have never been needed.

    Can't believe they haven't shot the kid on the four-wheeler yet.

    Some prefer light rail.

    This wouldn't have happened to Sloan. [/Canadian band joke]

    Sloan rules.

    I'd love to shoot the coyotes that roam in the creek valley behind my house. They're becoming more brazen by the year and could easily jump my fence from a standstill.
