Last night I heard coyotes shortly after dark close by. Sometimes it sounds like there are hundreds. They get a calf of goat now and then.I have heard of one killed that weighed 85 lbs. This morning I saw a flock of about 20 turkeys. Some people think fire ants are realy hurting the quail. I have known a hawk to get one on the covey rise and also a rabbit the dogs were running. My Dad of late once told me about 2 coveys that were around all of life on his Dad's place. A friend my age tells me he has never even seen a Bob White. I read on different forums that some areas of the country still have good numbers. I wonder if they can tell any difference now compared to 25 years ago. Gerald
