 I suppose we can hardly hold Texas responsible for the fact that their gifts include the boll weevil, the armadillo, the roadrunner, numerous thrashings on the football field, and now the coyote. How long have you been raising watermelons? Oh, I'd say 25 years. Have you been having coyote trouble all that time? No, it's been about the past 10 years. They started in pretty heavy about 10 years ago.
