Lost little dog to coyotes

[Egbert]

rsallen, you know ... Bud ... your tone pulls a vacuum (that means sucks).

He heard the commotion, ran out and saw the coyote on the dog, coyote took off - over the 6ft privacy fence like it wasn't there.

Now ... if you need to continue engaging in difficult behavior .... pick up your computer, bend over and shove it.

Hope this helps.

Don't waste time with the 223, get a 243 Win or just use your 308 if you have one. 243 has excellent ballistics and it will take down a coyote at quite extended range.

RSAllen, your opinion is your own. You are no-ones ruler. Your advice regarding people returning to suburbia is superfluous. If all your neighbors took that advice you might have a little financial and service crisis in your neighborhood. Nobody is ever going to exterminate coyotes by shooting them. When they were originally exterminated it was with poison by the government. What shooting/killing them accomplishes is to change your status with the pack and they will modify their behavior as a result. They will keep further away from locations with people and specifically run away if a person shows themselves. That is what we want, after all ?

My work on a local sheep farm has resulted in the death of about 4 coyotes, but that small number (coyotes number over 30 which enter the property - that we know of) has resulted in them now avoiding the area that the sheep graze and anywhere near the barns. There was 1 lamb lost in the last year, compared to more than 100 lambs a few years ago.

No aggression towards predators like coyotes elevates their status until the day that they are attacking you, your livestock, domestic animals etc. Just like we see happening in urban areas (California leading the way) with ever increasing attacks on people.

I really don't care about who/what was where first, unless you can come up with a voter approved human euthanization plan for your community. If you can pull that off without your neighbors taking care of you, good luck...

You all might take a look at a current post entitled "Saw a coyote? On our land " very informative. Have a nice night

Oh golly gee,
Guess what if you'd shown half the hubris you do here on behalf of your dog you'd still have your dear pet.

And no, if all those neighbors moved back to suburbia it would do nothing, nada, zip about my situation but improve it.
You know why? Because I planned it worked at it and made my life that way.
So far what I see going on around me is Mc mansions being built with buyers that are too afraid to step off their front porch or the older places rented out to white trash that want to shoot anything that moves.
Woo Haw, so have a good time. Shoot all the big bad animals you want because you're the top of the food chain. I guess that's as good reason as any other. Oh I forgot you're not doing it for food. Or was that you that forgot? Shrug.
Carry on.

Lions, tigers and bears, oh dear!

If you see a coyote, kill it. They are like rats; if you see one there are 100 you don't see. As far as I'm concerned, coyotes only have one "animal right." That's a quick death from acute lead poisoning.

You have a mocking condescending attitude. I don't think it is warranted.

You're too kind.

I didn't tell anyone to shove anything up their a** though.

However when you want to change the very nature of where you live or have moved to, why move or live there? Go someplace where you're more comfortable.

Sounds like it's time for you to move.
Hope this helps :laughing:
