Could also have unintended consequences as well. Just never know who's pet may get it.
Klauss, I take it that you don't have a bow, or crossbow.

Coyotes were extra musical around my place this morning, around 3:30 a.m.
I had the shotgun w/flashlight mounted to see if any were in the yard, because they'll come right over my chainlink fence. Some buckshot will make them rethink where they want to be.

Like Eightball said. I bought a brick of Aquila .22 SSS 60gr Sniper Subsonic for my city guns. Think I paid $25 for brick of 500 back in 2007.

I shoot CCI quiets in my back yard all the time. They are real quiet and seem to hit with quite a bit of thump. If you shoot a coyote with one in the chest area he'll die fairly soon. If you just get a leg or foot or hip or something he'll die from starvation after awhile. Not the best way but he probably won't be back. They need to be able to move quickly and when injured they can't go to the doctor.

They disappeared for a bit but now some have returned. According to our neighborhood watch site, 3 attacked and badly injured a German shepherd today.
Of course local gov still pretends there is no problem.

I have watched 3 coyotes hunt rabbits in a triangle formation from my roof.......i have some healthy ones in my back yard that must be laying down and startle me as they seem to appear out of nowhere.

Ever have wetbacks appear out of nowhere while you were camping in Southern Arizona? They do that, too.

Were getting them around here in the Ocala forest. Damn things must be eating good they look like a small wolf.
My neighbor next-door has hog hunting dogs that he had to double heavy wire cage, they ate through the first one. Plus every other house here has pit bulls. I wonder how Mr. coyote would do against them?

Coyotes are smart. They'll lure a dog away from their house in order to isolate it to pack jump it. It's hard for a male dog to resist that bitch in heat.
I've seen them do it, and was fortunate to be able to call my dog home before he got jumped. Some folks weren't so lucky. They are also bold. They will come right up on my sister's porch to kill a cat or, as recently happened, my niece's little dachshund. My nephew was able to shoot that coyote, but not before it killed the little dog - in broad daylight. My cousin has seen them kill and steal a goose from his mother's house. Two coyotes drew away the dogs and another one sneaked up to the goose and jumped on it and broke its neck. Then, holding it by the neck, the goose was too big for it to run with, so it flipped it up over its back and carried it off that way. It all happened so fast, he didn't have time to get his gun before they were all gone. Those are just coyotes. You'll also start to see coy-dogs. Those are even worse, because they are smart AND fearless. When you hear about coyotes attacking humans, you are most likely hearing about coy-dogs. |

Coyotes and Coy-Dogs = Targets (in my book)

I spent some time watching 2 coyotes behind my place this morning, through binoculars. They were bold as hell. Not the least bit concerned about me.
They were only about 100 yards away. I could have popped them with my .44, easy. Problem for me is that someone built a church behind me, and then they built a cop shop, dog pound, and fire station -- all in my backstop area. Bastards. Used to be able to shoot coyotes off the back porch. If they figure out how to come over my chain link fence, all bets are off - it's #4 buckshot time. Screw "progress". I think it's time to sell out and move further away. |

Coy dogs in Vermont were getting bigger and bigger. Rumor had them taking in domestic stray dogs and breeding with them?
Guy about a mile from here had 90% wolves he kept as pets. Alpha was frigging huge. Now he shut down and released them. Wonder if that huge coyote I spotted a bit back was not a small running wild mix breed wolf? |
