We have lots of the Coywolves here in NW Connecticut. Unattended dogs are often snatched away and eaten. My next door neighbors dog was a recent victim. They are very large. I walked up to one that had been hit by a car on a side road. It was quite impressive. You can hear the packs at night, which is kind of spooky. I would not walk alone in the woods without my trusty P40, escpecially at night when they are hunting. We have Mountain Lions and Black Bears as well.

We have quite a few cowwolves here in Illinois. Many a farmer gets up in the morning to milk the family cow- and he’s never seen again. The wife or kids go out looking for him and all they find is an empty stool, an upturned bucket and a cowwolf with a smirk on its face.

You're not so far away from us. I am not aware that we have mountain lions here, and I hope that's evidence that there aren't any. Even in our front yard, I am alert, but it's completely surrounded by woods and underbrush, so I can't even see the street at this time of year, nor can I see our neighbors. Every year the woods surrounding us becomes more dense. We have fishercats, various types of hawks, and pileated woodpeckers.

Bears scare me, as do coywolves. Still, I feel safe here.
