A Great Lakes Seaman photographed a Canadian Coyote crossing St. Mary's River ice, at Detour, Michigan, in 2022.

As is we do not have enough local coyotes, we are letting them forenars in. Shame Shame Shame!

For anyone needing to thin out coyotes on the ranch, thermal vision has been better for me than night vision. On night vision the coyote's coats do not reflect the infra-red back to the scope as well as some other critters.
They do move in the daytime some and have killed a some with conventional scoped rifles. A few that were close enough to shoot with a rifle with iron sights.

When peanuts are being harvested, they do get really stupid and they get so close to the combines you could kill them by hanging out of the cab and dropping a rock on them.

Damn those insolent Canadian drug cartels!

What we need is to establish a ruthless special ops northern border patrol group to deal with those nefarious Canadian coyotes!...and we'll call this group "Butler's Rangers!" Eh!

Count me in! BR is like a god to me. I base my life on his teachings.

What is that, my Master? Come to Michigan and kill the infidel foreign coyotes? Yes. Yesssss! May Ohio forgive me of my sin for traveling to the forbidden lands.

About 10 years ago, a lone Wolverine snuck into Michigan's lower peninsula.
The theory was that it crossed over from Ontario on the lake ice.
Quite the news story at the time, with video of the 'beastie' on all networks.

Ironically, it is very suspect, whether this ferocious mammal was ever native to the "Wolverine State".
(Sorry, U of M)!
What's next? ... Armadillos?

Some history - FWIW:
During the Civil War, some Michigan units were cited, in Official Battle Reports, for staunchly holding their ground and fighting like Lions, Tigers, and Wolverines.
Later, this may have influenced the naming of some Michigan sports teams.

Two companies of Butler's Rangers, served out of Detroit, during the Revolution.
These Rangers and their families settled in Amherstburg, Ontario, on the Canadian side of the river, prior to the U.S. Army taking possession of Detroit in 1796.
Some of the ex-Rangers and their sons served in the Canadian Militia and played a role in capturing Detroit in 1812.

Holy Mackerel! Butler's Rangers is not a good name for defenders of the U.S. Northern Border ... ya know, Eh!

All well and good BR, but the Michigan Wolverines won the national title

I am not a fan.
I can' stand Jim Harbaugh - The Michigan Weasel.

Go Lions!

Old family ties to UM so cant be helped. However, GO Lions!!!

Northern Border Protection .... Winter!

The State of Michigan is beefing up its borders, in spite of the Supreme Court's ruling, that frustrated the extra measures instituted by Texas.
