I was on the phone most of the morning trying to help the neighbor find a baby calf to replace one that coyotes killed early this morning. The good little first-calf heifer that he had bought from us, showed up on the feed ground and looked like she'd calved, so he got his horse and went to find it - too late. He rode up just as a pair of coyotes were ripping the guts out of the calf and were dragging the still living calf across the ice on the creek.
Of course he didn't have a gun with him because he never expected anything like this, so the coyotes got away and he had to finish the calf off with his jackknife. It's a good thing no one from one of those "save the poor predator" outfits happened along right then because they wouldn't have fared very well.
The aerial hunter is coming tomorrow if the wind lets him fly. Sure hope it stays calm.
