Saw it this morning sounds bad.

Maybe someone can update the link. I do not know what I am doing!

Who are these people leaving their babies unattended. Dangit I hate coyotes!!

[Charrison]

This is my neighbor. We've seen this coyote multiple times in my yard the past month.
To set the record straight, these are great parents with 3 little boys. Two of the boys were on the front porch with mom- she walked into the house to grab a pacifier on the couch with the door open and the coyote attacked the 2 year old. She was looking away less than 10 seconds.
The child will be ok- broken jaw and facial lacerations.
Folks called the city multiple times about this coyote- we live on white rock creek and have multiple packs around, but this guy was not normal. It was not being fed or petted as some media have reported- that's garbage. Say a prayer for the little boy- just one of those deals that happened in an instant.

Glad to hear the little one is doing better and hopefully a full recovery is in the near future.

Prayers up for the little guy and his family.

Hate to say it, but Rabies comes to the forefront of my mind.

Definitely a possibility and the little guy is being tested in the hospital. The coyote just looked like a scraggly young male looking for a territory when I would see him but he was definitely way too comfortable around people and in yards in broad daylight.
The cops shot and missed yesterday- neighborhood has officers posted up all over today still looking for him.

[Ag 89]

Coyote out in broad daylight and not afraid of humans. Rabies at top of list of possibilities. Need to find him(the coyote) and get him tested, otherwise boy is going to have to go through the post exposure treatment (or at least should).

[TeamAmerica]

Sad deal and have neighbors that know the family well. Freak accident but sounds like he will recover fully. He is probably too young to remember but hope it doesn't traumatize his older brother who watched it happen. Prayers to the whole family!

We live in Lake Highlands also. My wife sent a text telling me a yote killed someone's dog this morning.

I'm glad to hear that was false information

Prayers for the boy's recovery and for his family

Daggitt......horrible.

That’s just terrible. I hate them dang things. I sure hope the child recovers completely.
I don’t know if it’s all the people moving in and all the new buildings being built, displacing them but they definitely seem to be getting worse. I had a lamb destroyed four days ago and never heard a thing.

[gingib]

Another reason not to live in the city!!!! You can't shoot them

Prayers up for the family. Sad deal

[Deuce16]

Coyote in my hood, I’m killing it and will deal
With the consequences…. If any.
End of story!

[bowhunterhelm]

Terrible deal, prayers up for him and his family that saw this happen. Hopefully they can get the coyote put down and tested so he doesn't have to go through rabies shots if it's not necessary.

[oktx]

I see coyotes all the time in broad daylight. That doesn’t mean they are rabid.

[switchback]

I’ve seen a coyote in Fort Worth by my house near 30 and 820 a few times now. They are building a lot of warehouses in that area.

Wow better info than the Dallas News. Hope everything goes good for the kid!

Exactly !

[DFWPI]

I’ve got a pack living across the street behind the elementary school in Dalworthington Gardens. I haven’t heard them a lot lately, but see at least one of them a couple of times a week. Last week, coming home from grocery store one ran across in front of me carrying a cat.

If you can catch THAT one, you can drop him in my hood. I'd rather have yotes than cats.

LoL, that’s probably why he is still around. In past year, I’ve seen a yote with a cat four times now.

Sure you can. You just have to be quiet about it. A .22 rifle with subsonic rounds is quieter than most pellet guns!!

A bow is too, or so I’ve been told anyway.

Agreed totally.

[ttaxidermy]

I know a couple very good coyote trappers up that way.. That's what that needs to happen..
Clean them up. They will just multiply if something isn't done.

You hush up with your common sense.

Praying, Lord please watch over and be with this little boy, and comfort his mother.

There was a coyote that attacked a toddler on the beach in California recently...

[Baygall]

This bobcat is a common sight in my brothers neighborhood.
He lives in McKinney, in a large subdivision.

[Hart8]

Man,that's crazy.Sure hope he gets better real soon.I see coyotes in the daylight quite a bit in Waxahachie.

[Big Lee]

I feel bad for the kid. Hopefully no lingering issues come from this. I lived in Tucson, AZ for a few years. While there seeing coyotes in the grocery store parking lot was common. Bobcats were plentiful and not a rare sight. It was rare to hear about a human getting attacked. However, grandma's poodle was never safe!

TRUTH

[tminc]

Last time I was in Dallas,near White Rock Creek.I look up and see a dog coming about a thousand yards off. As I watch it's just hunting from side to side and as it gets closer I grab my bino's and it's a coyote.it continues to advance toward me.im a cc and I grab my .40 and look around. No chance to use it.theres a daycare across the street and it's a residential area. The coyote gets even with me I hollar at it,its stops looks and just continues to look for its next target.Middle of the day,people everywhere.

[PK_IN_TX]

I haven’t see a coyote in my neighborhood for a while. I do have two bobcats that walk our backyard fence nightly which took care of all the rabbits running around. I live in Flower Mound.

You would be surprised at how many I see early mornings up and down Walnut Hill and Mockingbird.

give 'em shotguns and maybe they can kill it. Hope they weren't using their pistols in a neighborhood where the bullets could go astray.

[Leverhunter]

Hope the little guy gets better soon. Tough deal for the whole family.

We have a bobcat or 2 that wonder our Allen neighborhood during the day. Few months ago a couple young neighborhood kids followed it through our yard recording it on their phones. Cat didn't care at all.

[locolobo]

Prayer up for the little guy!

Been livin on the same 2.5 acres for 40+ years. From the start I would hear coyotes back side, to the east of me. Never saw one but could hear 'em talkin @ night. Back then it was all farm land as far as the eye could see. Now it has been divided into 10-15 ac. tracts and somewhat developed (wannabe farmers like me). Neighbor shot one in his back yard yesterday afternoon. First time he had ever actually seen one too. Too close for comfort!
