Yote vs .25 synrod (graphic) Payback for my dog!

[Gertrude]

Mike,
 I'm so sorry to here about Kanoa... and I do know what you mean about liking my dog(s) more than most people.
 I've recently lost mine too, and miss them more than I can describe.

I would be happy to help serve up some rightful vengeance in honor of Kanoa... and I'm in O.C. too.
I'm guessing you are somewhere near Santiago ? The 241 ?, or maybe the river bed ?
I work in Santa Ana, am selling my house in Orange, and live in Seal Beach.

If you'd like to sit out one night together, share a beverage, and set-up an ambush or go stalk the yotes, I'm all game for that. just say the word... and I'll bring the ammo, air, and proper "equipment".

Shoot me a PM if you'd like some "assistance" in thinning the howlers... and be mindful of the mountain lions too. We've been getting quite a few reports on them over the past few weeks. This drought is bringing them all in a bit too close for comfort.

Cheers,
Ron

Sorry you lost your dog also. Never a easy thing. Wish they had longer lifespans just in general.
I'm a few blocks from the OC fairgrounds.  Might just do that.....I'm getting clearance from the entity that controls that land. We already dug up the den with a back hoe. They have been squatting here since. Just waiting on the "ok" from owner to dispatch them all.

[PBguns]

Some of the pictures I have of them so far. I have been trying to ID what  I can... "check them off the list" later I guess.

Pretty sure this is the one I got early this morning:



Another of her and the male....



Now these are not the same yotes....but I think Im seeing two different yotes....(the following were shot over two sightings).

















How many individuals can you guys ID? 1? 2? 3? 4?

  Good luck with the pest control project . My pup is family also and I protect home and family with every fiber as well. 

[Mr. Sumatra22]

Wow they are brazen. Good luck and PLEASE keep up posted on your progress. Hopefully it won't take too long to get rid of them.

Unfortunately coyotes are opportunistic predators and like many wild animals have figured out how to live around humans . Last year there were several coyotes living in New York's Central Park and not in the zoo either. We have encroached on their habitat so although I am sympathetic to their needs we cannot live side by side with them. No I am not tree hugger and firmly believe that if animal control is not going to relocate the critters protecting the family and pets is up to us.

Well said.

Last year? They have been there since before central park. NYC has never not had yotes. They thrive in suburban and urban areas.

When their populations are kept in check we can live side by side with them, wiping out the eastern wolf is the cause of this. That and exploding whitetail populations, also partially caused by wiping out the eastern wolf. Either we control the populations of whitetail and bring back a top level predator or we must control the coyote populations. Ideally we would do all three. I have lived near wolves, they have a huge range, low population density and tend not to be such a problem.

MMMM. Extending the large game season and increasing the number of hunting licenses would allow the existing top predators to take care of excess whitetails in a trice. 

[Sfttailrdr46]

  The only problem with reducing the White Tails only is when the coyotes start getting hungry they will become more aggressive. Their population will also need significant thinning as well or you will see more attacks on more pets and humans

[Rocker1]

If that happened to my dog I would need someone to bring me food and water because I would not come home until they were gone or me.  David

[ronbeaux]

Very sorry to hear about your friend/dog/ family member!


PM me with your address. I want to donate you a preditor call to help call them in for a shot.

[Busta Cap]

You're not just making it safe for your other dogs but for ALL the other pets in your neighborhood with the neghbors realizing it-good shot!

[454 Big Block Chevy]

keep at em.  make safe ethical shots.  .25 eunjin's carry some massive energy and knocked it down with authority!!!

My condolences for your dog.  If my lab got injured by a coyote the means i'd use to eradicate them, well i wouldn't be posting it here!

Correct, which is why the wolf is better at that task than the current main predator of deer. We simply do not do a good job of keeping population in check when the animal is not considered a food source. So I guess we need to come up with some tote recipes

Thank goodness they are very liberal on hunting yotes. at least here anyway.  The top existing predator can keep both in check.  Nothing wrong with the wolf either, just saying. lol

[gamo2hammerli]

Good shot...keep on smacking those 'yotes.  Sorry to hear about the pain , suffering your husky had to go through and then pass away.

@Yarp, there is some group (Don't know if they're Canadian, American or international) that say coyotes should not be indiscriminately killed, because they're part of the ecological system.  Some coyotes are invading suburbs and preying on pets already.  Idiots.

Those folks are unfocused enough that they'll be protecting Norway rats before long.

[Bullfrog]

I'm so sorrow for your loss. They skinned your baby alive. That"s absolutely terrible.

I congratulate you for the nice kill, but I know the mild pleasure of a kill on them pales in comparison to the pain they've caused you. Kill them all without mercy or remorse.
