Last saturday a turkey hunter was attacked by a coyote.The hunter was beaten on the shoulder while setting against a tree.The hunter is taking rabies shots.
A biologist with the state game department says states east of the big muddy have more coyotes per square mile than western states.

Norm, he probably is talking about his home state, and by some of the comments Terry has made in the past, I think he does have a sizable coyote population.
As far as the turkey hunter getting bit? Yeah, wasn't too vigilant, was it? My hearing isn't all that good, but I can sometimes hear a coyote approaching a stand. And, have you ever nodded off while on stand? I have dropped my head, and jerked up a moment later. That's when I start thinking of calling it quits. Usually happens on day 2, if at all?
One time, while boar hunting, I was real comfy, snuggled into a tree hollow, and watching a rooting field in the late afternoon. I woke up sometime before eleven, as I recall? My partner had also dozed off. Pitch dark, I stumbled back to the truck and I woke him up by calling out. Occured on day 2. This was on a Military Reservation, where we were required to sign in and out. Nobody missed us, we could have stayed there for morning, bright and early, had we known?
I could forgive a hunter for nodding off, especially at my advanced age. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) Norm has no excuse, since he is still a young pup.
Terry, what's the deal?
Good hunting. LB

The attack was in north wilson county north middle Tennessee about one mile from the cumberland river.
Ed Warr a biologist with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency says.The Eastern United States has a higher density of coyotes per square mile than you would find out west.This is a quote from the local news paper
