For example, I take my Lab to the Florence City Park for a swim at least once per week. He is trained not to attack the wild geese that live there - both on the land & in the creek. I can throw his retrieving dummy in the creek near the geese - and he always only brings back his dummy and does not even bother the swimming geese. He used to wear a training collar that gives him a mild electric shock - if he forgets his instructions - but he learned his lessons well and does not need to wear a training collar any more.

But none of that keeps coyotes from visiting our camp every night. I suspect they know we have year round water (two guzzlers) for all wild game and the coyotes certainly like to visit us - and serenade us every night! I would bet coyotes also frequently visit the Field Lab - because in addition to lots of water sources - there is wildlife they like to eat hanging out there! Don & I learned about predator hunting tactics in the Chihuahuan Desert - by watching a large mountain lion - hunt near standing water in the Cedar Springs Creek - during a very dry year.Ronald Mahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212335044689143408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-19707432280173110672017-03-04T22:38:14.188-06:002017-03-04T22:38:14.188-06:00Does the presence of wild burros around the Field ...Does the presence of wild burros around the Field Lab deter coyote depredation ?intermittent marathonian 00https://www.blogger.com/profile/13111701453284760139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-11843044221473026542017-03-04T20:29:36.563-06:002017-03-04T20:29:36.563-06:00See ya around George, I'll bring some carrots....See ya around George, I'll bring some carrots.<br />THORNWALKERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002476966912612304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-72926311637678381732017-03-04T20:05:32.598-06:002017-03-04T20:05:32.598-06:00:-) True Dale, my dogs keep me moving.
