Yup, it's getting really bad. I feel bad for the coyotes because they are beautiful animals. It's sad.
A guy at work came up to me this AM and told me his lab ran after one yesterday and wouldn't come back. He lives on about 20 acres. He's thankful that the lab came back. Although a single coyote couldn't kill a lab, it would put up a fight and/or bring the lab to a group of coyotes.
Scary.
