Coyotes will snatch up little dogs and disappear into the night. I was at my buddy's one night, and we had the horror of listening to a pack of coyotes kill the neighbor's lab mix. What a heart wrenching sound.

Just went out and tried to get a few, spent nearly 2 hours walking around. Got within 150yds of a couple but couldnt get them to come in close enough for a good shot. Popped a shot at one as it was leaving and missed. I need thermal.

Hawks will snatch cats as well. In the city where I was working, one late afternoon I stepped outside for a smoke. I heard the meow meow meow sound of a cat in distress coming from what I thought was a tree in front of my office. I then see the cat in the claws of a Hawk fling from behind the tree. The hawk flies to the top of a wood power pole, lands and sticks his beak through the head of the cat ending the meowing. Then had dinner.

On our ranch coyotes are common and devious. We have our sheep and goats inside an electric mesh fence and two guardian dogs with them at all times. One tried to get under the fence and got popped real good. Then the guardian dogs tore into him and he retreated under the fence and got popped again. Hasn't tried again since, however, he and 4 others can be seen keeping their eye on the fence hopping a stray will get loose. One goat escaped last week and was gone in a split second. We try shooting them but they are crafty buggers.

If someone in a somewhat suburban area of a VERY red political area were to procure an air gun (or suppressed .22 with good backstop), install an IR laser, use NODs/thermal and thwack a coyote within their fenceline:
What might be the best way to dispose of said problem? Asking for a friend who has dogs that may dig up a shallow grave of clay soil in the yard. |

So I live in a neighborhood that backs up to a large farm field bordered by a woods. I see yotes on an infrequent basis but hear them a lot. So the wife has a couple of small dogs and she lets them out in the fenced yard. (The fence would be no problem for coyotes to get over) We have had some pets disappear around here lately. I know the best thing is to watch them when they are out but sometimes things happen. So my question is this. In this situation would the coyote kill immediately or try and grab the dog and run off? If I heard anything would I have any chance to get a round off from my pistol. (assuming it was at hand) Just not sure about this. Thanks in advance. Grab and run. Coyotes are quicker than you are. |

I was just out (o-dark-30) with our nearly 4-month old pup letting him do his morning business and there was a pack of yotes a few hundred yards away yippin' and howlin'. I kept the pup close and got him back in as soon as he was done. We are way out in the country and the yotes are around all the time.

The yotes send out a single 'scout' that lures / play bows the pet out of the yard (if able) and then draws them into the pack where they get ripped apart and eaten. Keep any animal you want to keep secured inside. You will not get a shot off as yotes are an adaptive bunch that have a healthy fear of humans. ETA: the packs in the hill country seem to follow behind the Mountain Lion rotation. Ie we don't see / hear them until a week after the Mountain Lion rolls around and makes kills. 1:39 in the morning Mr bait yote caught a round of #4 buck in the guts. They haven't tried again but we still hear the fuckers .... They play their game we play ours. Daughter has a pit/boarder collie who hates them. |

Always carry at night.
Most coyotes around here seem to be morphing into hybrid grey wolf / coyotes - bigger, blacker, meaner. We've got some neighbors other side of the hill in their early 90's. Old man lets off a slew of slugs before going out with his little mutt. |

We've shot 3 of the fuckers during deer season on pure luck or their stupidity. 12 Ga. slugs leaves big ole holes in them. All efforts to trap them or go out and actually hunt for them were a total waste of time. They are sneaky and covert bastards. One night after a light snow my friends were under white sheets with an electronic call and a "rabbit fur shaky stick thingy on a remote" (aka lure) calling them in. They could hear a pack of them coming down the hill and splitting up. Then dead silence for 30 minutes. All calls and said rabbit fur shaky thing went ignored but my friend had the weird sense that they were being watched.
After they pulled the set they found fresh yote prints in the snow 25 YARDS behind them in their boot tracks left when they walked in. How can 3 lifetime hunters after hearing them close in on an e-call all of a sudden not hear or see them when they were that close.... We leave gut piles in traps up on the hill where they live and while sometimes there are tracks we never catch anything in them (well, we did catch a red tailed hawk by the leg once) and that SOB tore us up trying to set him free. Those damn dogs come really close to the house (once saw one eating the leftovers of a tray of lasagna that was dropped where we park our cars). Were thinking maybe try baiting the traps with some manicotti  . We hate the fuckers and while there really aren't a lot of them like other parts of my state they are there and raiding pheasant and chicken coops. Other than dumb luck during deer season we cant catch or kill them. We all have a "kill on sight" order and will waste one before we shoot any deer - but were just not effective at seeing those sneaky bastards.

I recently moved out to a more rural area. They got several of our city cats, who were not used to predators. I was heart broken and pissed. I put my AR, PVS14 and IR laser to good use.
The coyotes are very hard to hunt. You really have to practice field craft, pay attention to wind direction, noise etc. And then it takes luck. The stupidest, laziest yote is 100X better hunter than I am at my best. |

The good old prairie wolf. Once they get a foothold they are likely there to stay especially in suburban areas where eradication methods are limited. Hell even in areas where you aren't limited they there to stay as well. Probably one of the better population controls is wolves but I don't think reintroducing wolves will be a popular or feasible solution.

The other morning my wife was letting our dogs (yellow lab, Belgian Malinois) out in our fenced back yard and it was still dark out. Next thing I heard was her screaming about a coyote. By the time I got to the back door with my pistol it was already over. She said when she opened the back door, our Belgian immediately went to the back corner where there is a large green electrical box. Next thing she saw was the coyote run from behind with our Belgian aggressively chasing it. She said our Belgian chased it right up the deck and right back down. Yellow lab didn't even stop peeing to join in the fun, shes old though. I still have no clue how it got in our backyard, we have a six foot fence and all of our neighbors have fenced in yards. |

My neighbor lost a small dog last winter to a coyote. We found it dying. Small dogs need to be inside at night in coyote areas. Stand with them for nighttime potty breaks. A coyote once grabbed a neighbors cat off her deck while she was on the deck with the cat. Until he got to about 30 pounds, he was always on a leash since I was worried about owls. No..."things don't just happen." Don't let the ankle biters out alone at night. On a leash..OK. Standing right by them probably ok. I also am armed but really need to take the AR out if I wanted better protection. |

I have a small area of the yard fenced in for my beagles, they would have to dig under the fence to get to them. My dogs seem to howl at every animal including sandhill cranes so I'm hoping they will make enough racket for me to get out in time. Fucking hate coyotes
