The coyotes are getting pretty bold, one came in my yard the other A.M. with 4 dogs barking their heads off, it has come back two or three more mornings in the last week, I think it was trying to get the yorky my wife takes out every morning and my cows will begin calving in about eight weeks, so I want to get rid of this particular one. I'm thinking of setting up in my back yard and shooting out the window, so I can be sure to get the bold one.
My question, if I set up and call and they don’t come before I go to work, will they be more likely to show up later in the morning to see what the noise was all about?
I only have one outside dog (a golden retriever) but he has set up a mutual support grope with the neighbors dogs and between the fore of them they made a ruckus and ran the coyote off that one morning but the coyote has learned that if it waits until my neighbor goes to work, all the dogs follow him to the black top (about a mile) and he has free run of the area while the dogs are gone. I suspect the coyote eats the dog food from my neighbor's carport from time to time.
One good thing that has developed out of thins is the wife now packs a pistol when she takes the dog out.
