Funny. I like it. But with my luck we'd wind up with skunks and racoons.
On our way north in September driving Hwy 401 my wife saw in the wee hours a coyote loping along, crossing the road and into the green-space inside an intersection cloverleaf. (My eyes were on the road.) Not an unusual sighting these days. Some evenings I leave the gate open to our fenced yard, just in case a passing coyote wants to rid me of the city cats that wander through. I wouldn't miss the racoons and skunks either.

Haha, no skunks or raccoons in my backyard. A large groups of coyotes moved in about 10 years ago, displacing the resident family of red fox. I can hear them yelping a few times a month, in any season. They seldom are seen, but clearly, they're eating well.
I'm on the edge of the Town of Colonie, about equidistant from Albany and Schenectady...

Coyotes seem to have have increased near Bancroft since the ban on wolf shooting next to Algonquin Park began.
Also reports in the Toronto area, coyotes eating cats and dogs. I guess cats and dogs taste better than skunks and raccoons.

They are easier to catch. Now that the crops are out, I worry that my new dog may run impulsively into the field at night only to find a pack of coyotes waiting.
IME this is due to their higher fat content and being more tender due to their easy lifestyle.
