Wolf on 30A

[Beachbummette]

Sometimes cats and coyotes get along just peachy ...

True...but Charlie is a most extraordinary example. The cat, Eli, is his best friend. There is a very popular blog about Charlie at http://dailycoyote.blogspot.com/

The pictures and blogs are from newest to oldest so take the time to click all the way to the beginning and, then, work your way backwards. Pretty neat story...

Geez! Thanks guys now something else I will have to look at every single day. Here is the coyote baby pic, how many ways can you say aaaawWWWWW!!!:

Only cougars.

Dr Phil recently had a show on Cougars who go after the young.

It wasn't a "Wolf," but this morning, I found a "Wolf Spider," hiding in a hole in my back yard. I took a photo but the hole is too dark, and only his over-sized fangs show up in the photo.

There was a wolf spider living with me for a couple of weeks about 10 years ago. Every evening when my son and I were watching TV, it would come out from somewhere and plant itself infront of the TV like he was watching it with us. We didn't kill it, it was quite entertaining. He became part of the family, then one day...it never came back.

I was up on 20 this morning traveling West and had a coyote cross the road in front of me. It had a nice coat. The ones I would see in Northern MN were almost always dealing with Mange.

I learned to pedal faster. About 15 miles into my usual bike ride, I used to always get chased by two dogs, one pit bull. I quickly learned that no matter if I was tired, I needed to get a second wind when riding up that long hill where the dogs lived.

Around here, riding through the neighborhoods, if a dog comes out running at me on my bike. I stop the bike, get off and introduce myself. I am amazed at the difference a shift in my attitude makes. The dogs are much happier when I stop to visit. Some, even follow me around for a while when I get back on my bike.

Yikes! I think those are my dogs you are talking about. I try to keep them in, but it's a challenge! The would'nt hurt a flea!

There are wolves on St. Vincent Island, east of here, which were introduced by the parks service, but none here. Like most people here say, a Coyote. And they are all over in the forest. Their tracks are everywhere. Behind my house in Seagrove one was eating something one morning about a month ago and yes, they have gotten cats and some small dogs in the area. I'm still seeing plenty, plenty snakes too.

It is true that many coyotes hang out in the State Forest, but I've seen them on 30A and around the Lakes. Captured a pic of one behind Stinky's Fish House, last year. I also recall someone on SoWal writing that they knew of one which would go to the dunes, looking down on the beach, on occasion.

I just returned from my store (about 10 p.m.) and while driving along 30-A I spotted a lone wolf "trotting" along the bike path. I drove up behind it and followed it about 100-300 yards. It wasn't scared at all until oncoming cars came upon us. It then darted across the street, and I blinked my lights at ongoing cars to watch out for it, and it ran into the woods at Highland Park in BMB. Glad I wasn't taking a night stroll down 30-A! Has anyone else see any wolves along the roads lately?

I haven't seen a wolf, but maybe evidence that one exist (or something really BIG)... I walk along 'pt. forest' road between CR283 and CR395... Over the last few months I've noticed VERY LARGE dog tracks... They go one way with no human tracks beside it, therefore I ass/u/me it's some type of BIG wild animal... (my cell phone is a little more than 4 1/2")

Not a cat track. Cat tracks are wider than long. It is definitely Canis species.
If this track is 4 1/2" long as it appears next to your phone, this is either a very large dog or possibly some type of brush wolf although a typical track of a coyote is more like maybe 3" in length.
I live on 393 and hear coyote packs howling at night on occasion. It really gets the neighborhood dogs going.
