They are messy eaters - and therein lies the problem. From the Texas Parks and Wildlife website:
Here's a photo of what a suburban yard looks like after a night of feeding. Imagine the damage they can do to a cornfield...
Heh, what I meant was are they good eating?
I know they can do a ton of damage quickly, much worse than deer. If I had them here I would be dispatching them with extreme prejudice. Not only would they be a threat to the kids, but the bigger dog we have is a Plott hound (bred for tracking and then attacking bears and other large game) and he would not be able to resist going after them. I've had the kind of vet bills that make me want to puke and I am in no hurry to repeat the exerience. As it is, the dogs stay on a short leash when we are in coyote/bear/mountain lion territory.
