What are the coyotes doing? I've never needed to shoot mine, and I've got 4 or 5 packs of them nearby.

Just leave them. Later, when you need to get rid of a wife or a kid you can always blame the coyotes. Apparently, it works in Australia.

Yep. Between the coyotes, the razorbacks, and the cara-caras literally the entire corpse is consumed.

Ive heard that the pigs will eat bones. Never heard of cara-caras.

Hence the expression, “As greedy as a pig!”

Dominant scavenging bird around here, though we also have a smaller population of turkey vultures. Highly intelligent and cooperative. I've seen them gang up on a hawk and steal his catch before. Can be domesticated.

That is a cool looking predator. We mostly have turkey-vultures here in Delaware but they are endangered as the Ravens tend to kill their young.
