Our property is surrounded on three sides by a nature preserve and we had a coyote family living close enough that we could hear the babies. We have more trouble with Bobcats.
My husband likes to bake bread, too. It has been a while since he made sourdough.
I can imagine bobcats are more trouble. Around here the coyotes keep their distance for the most part but they must be getting extra hungry as winter drags on.
