... I don't really believe them. But there are coyotes everywhere and also a few bobcats. I have 5 Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd dogs that are nocturnal working all night. Its pretty much overkill for my little 40 acre farm but nothing comes in and I haven't even bothered to close a chicken coop at night in years!
