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

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

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.

Yeah they sure did. Whats crazy, my dogs are indoor dogs (sleep indoors at night). This happened on a pee stop before bedtime. I heard it happen and opened the back door and ran towards them as they were all fighting. They broke off of him and jumped back over the fence and he got up and ran towards me. Next day after spending all night at vet ER, had to go wash my lawn off in that area so my family didn't have to deal with that drama. Nothing like having to clean up chunks of meat of your dog (found scattered). 

Yes......It makes you see red.

Video from one of our security cameras showing them walking along the block walls. He is jumping from my backyard into the front yard in the video. I have seen them run full speed all allong the common back block wall. Even been told that these two have been jumping 7' wood fence with out issues.


 Weird....just noticed video is almost a year old (off by a week).

Another video in our back yard. (year ago) If you listen to sec :08-:09 you can hear the coyote jump down off the wall into our grass.
The door I walk out of at the end, is my home office. I knew he was outside the entire time, I was watching live camera feeds of him snooping and getting closer to the patio doors.

Very disconcerting to have intruders like that.

They are running thru the properties looking for easy kills like house pets. Thats what coyote do and it doesnt matter if it is in the city or country. Someone already posted  that coyotes are opportunistic hunters and thats absolutely correct. Why would they hunt deer that are harder to kill and put them at a greater risk of injury when they have their version of fast food in peoples back yards. I live in western MT outside of a small town with larger property lots with the smallest property being 2 acres and the majority over 10 with many that are over 30 acres so there are not many houses. Even in this setting with lots of deer, voles and many other small wild animals for the coyotes to hunt they still come around the houses looking for easier meals. I dont tolerate any coyote that comes within sight of my house period. There is plenty of country for them to live in here so any that are around my house are up to no good and will be dealt with.
 
 I would setup a bait station and put a dinger on it to alert you to their presence and finish the rest of them off. If they are already coming in your back yard on a regular basis it should be pretty easy to bait them and finish them off. Once you have them gone you will need to keep an eye out for new coyotes moving in and doing the same thing so watch for signs of coyote coming back. If you dont do that and you have or get another pet chances are you will be faced with a missing pet or the worst case scenario that you already had to deal with once.

Sorry for Konoa's loss, I had a problem in NC. I used a recording of yippy Chihuahua's. They smartened up after the second kill in a 3 night period.

If you have dogs (dog toys) this one really works surprisingly good.

Thought I would try a different scope mount. With the rings before I was limited too much on placement due to the magazine needing clearance. The optic felt to me like it needs to be moved further forward. Before coming home, I grabbed a couple forward/cantilever mounts to try out. After trying that mount....it offers  much better shouldering/eye relief for me.

Going to do some cable management and mount the tape switch like it should be, (Tomorrow).

Right now its re-zeroed and ready to play tonight.

Worked pretty well (exactly what I used) Along with our cameras that detect motion and scan.

Sorry for your loss Mike. Seeing a loved member of your family skinned alive had to be a frightening and horrific for you and your family. Taking that female out had to feel good(nice shot placement).

 Hard to believe your local law enforcement or elected officials let coyotes run wild and thrive in your neighborhood. I live in a rural town with a lot of farms. The summer of 2012 the coyotes started invading chicken coups then some cats and smaller dogs started to disappear.

Long story short the farmers/locals tracked and killed them. They used ATV's and horses to round them up to guys waiting with shotguns. This February(2015) a few Yotes were spotted and within 2 or 3 weeks they were all taken care of.

Sorry to hear bout your dog dude. that not worthy. Good luck on the hunting. I have a few around my house that are gunna get some trigger time when I get home also. Sneaky piles of brown logs they are. keep on them dude!

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

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

You may not wan't to eat the yote, I certainly don't, but their winter pelts can be amazing.  Another good reason to thin them out.

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!

Ed.

I'm with you on that one one coyote would become 5 in the squeeze of a trigger...

[cherokeesteve]

The county I live in here in Illinois pays a bounty for killed coyotes, $10 each. Not much but they do want to see their population go down. People in my town have lost their pets to them as well.

[Gertrude]

Just wondering if there are any upates on the hopefully declining local Yote population ?

[cwlongshot]

Man that's rough. Real rough... Tears welling as I write.

I hate these things. I have seen this first hand TWICE!  Years apart people are oblivious. I see signs all the time scruffy or muffs missing. Rural areas. I know where they went. You do too. Back into the food chain.
I worry about my lil one every time I let her our. She couldn't and wouldn't even defend herself. I kinda doubt it in her. Hope I never find out.

Saddens me imencly to read these stories but I feel your right in posting as maybe you will help someone else from having to endure what your family is going thru.

I spend a lot if time in the woods. Or I did with my last employment. I shot every coyote I safely could.

Like you I would have set up and dusted every single one I could that entered my range.

Sorry to read this. Good hunting!!

Awe man if they were in my yard I would whip out my NV they would never know I was there or what him them, I would bait them all!

[susieqz]

what driveway alarm, please.?

[only1harry]

Look at Harbor Freight on line for it.  It's an inexpesive alarm/motion detector that alerts you inside the house when something comes within range of the outdoor sensor.  I started using it 7-8yrs ago so that I can be alerted of unwanted night critters in my backyard, and called it "Ding Donger" because of the sound it makes (like a door bell), and the word stuck
