This Approver note:

February 22 by Keystone Approver

'...It seems like it is almost always hunting season for SOMETHING in Pennsylvania (like coyotes) but I think the main deer seasons are over.'

Then This Sign was spotted

SEASONed over time by the debate of traditional, 'ammo can in the woods' vs. urban micros, its unique FLAVORing was arrived at by the recent adaptions to the game.

'Environmentalists firmly believe that the Coyotes are necessary to preserve the balance of nature. Some sportsmen feel the Coyote is responsible for the declines in game species. Biologists agree that individual animals preying on livestock and poultry should be destroyed but that the species as a whole is not necessarily harmful, because much of its diet is made up of destructive rodents. Biologists also agree that Coyote populations have no lasting effects on other wildlife populations. So the controversy rages on.'

One of the most adaptable animals in the world, the Coyote can change its breeding habits, diet and social dynamics to survive in a wide variety of habitats.

Wile as a coyote.

An analogy can be made between the micros and Coyote. Similiar observations.
