leadconsel You don't realize that packs of coyotes now live in the chicago city limits and because of screwed up people and gun laws there is really nothing that can be done about themnow except to hope they atleast eat the gang members. hehe They hide during the day and run an kill at night. This is a wide spread problem with coyotes, bears even deer in many city's. To many non-hunters don't take the time to understand that when you don't keep wildlife in check with devolopment this is what happens. It is not useless killing for the sake of killing. It's trying to control something that is getting out of hand. So most people that don't hunt or ranch/farm don't understand. That can be from the constrictors in florida, coyotes everwhere, bears in school yards inside city's or deer eating your garden in arlinkton VA. where they desided to bring in bow hunters to kill deer in back yards in highly developed areas. People need to wake up.
 
zerodefect. We could have all the yote lovers catch and ship to all major city's. Might eat all the bad guys running around at night.
bg226 big yotes can get to 40+ but tyicaly in the 20's. There was a tv show on a while back where some biologist in the north central and west were study'n the coyotes as they are larger than decades gone by to see if canine or wolf blood lines makeing for bigger yotes.

"Here is a much, much better question: Why the hell would you want to shoot a coyote? Have you or anyone that you know or anyone that THEY know ever been attacked or put into an EVEN POTENTIALLY dangerous situation by a coyote? Do you eat coyote?

I would give you 100:1 odds that the answer to those questions is "no."

What a bunch of ignorant, bunny huggin' PETA crap! No more needs to be said that hasnt already been said, except that if I was up a tree deer hunting and saw a yote, I would shoot him (NC has yr round season on them). Also, I have never understood the "I only shoot what I eat" mentality. I know its been around for a long time, but I have no problem shooting a coyote and leaving it to the buzzards and possums.

Brownsfan Some times when someone says something as stupid as our PETA guy and they own weapons, that is scary. Maybe they should not be allowed to own weapons. hehe

I've heard that coyotes are a bit more "open minded" toward inter-species relationships and sometimes do mate with large dogs and wolves creating super coyote hybrids. I think I may have seen one of these. The thing was so tall, but it couldn't have been a wolf. Nature's genetics are so unpredictable sometimes.
 
Coyotes

They are very Dangerous, in a pack. Seems one person, never understands

that. They Will stalk you. "Been there Done that".
 
I'll put in my .02 since every one else is
dad gum critters need shot. i personally would carry my gp100 if I knew a yote encounter was going to happen. but I doubt you would have trouble with a 9mm.
story;
I dated a girl a long time ago fresh out of high school. She had a friend who wanted to get in her pants ( I obviously despised the fat POS, but he really didn't pose much of a threat so i let it be), she of course was clueless. one day he wanted to "hang out" with her and ended up taking her to a place in the desert to watch a sun set. on the way back she realized she had left her purse and so he went back to get it. he came back running with a terrified look on his face and his back all scratch up. said a yote attacked him. its about the only time i have ever wanted to give a coyote a high five, I was laughing hysterically when she told me what happened.

LOL! Karma on fat guy... funny. That's what he gets for trying to play the lame 'friend' angle.



All yotes must die. They tried to kill my 100 lb dog once... and would have succeeded if not for me being well armed. They came right up to the house to do it. The big male didn't make it back to his den that night. :)
 
I posted a pic earlier of a big Coyote that I shot at a distance with a Sig P225.
It only took one 147 Gr. SXT behind her shoulder. I worked for sometime as a professional Trapper. Ive killed dozens of them with a 22lr. They arent anything like big cats. Big cats can take fire from high powered rifles and still cut you up pretty good. Its all about shot placement. If you carrying 9mm, you can rest assured that its more than enough for a Coyote. I will end by saying that your odds of evr being attacted by one, are slim to none. The Canadian girl that was killed was a fluke. Most Coyotes (and wolves) will avoid humans at all costs. They will make a yummy snack of your pets though :)
 
Their actually the first case I've ever read of a woman out West being attacked and killed by Coyotes. When I lived out in the country they were an unappreciated guest. They would kill farmers livestock, sometimes pets, and worse produce half breed feral dog/coyote hybrids. If you hit them right a .22 will drop them. A good 9mm JHP in the right spot will more than do the job. I had a couple of cases where I was out walking my property at night and ran into feral dogs. I carried a .357 that stopped them dead with a head shot. They would get much closer than simple coyotes for the most part. Had a female friend that had prblems with them eating her chickens.
They were getting very bold and coming closer and closer to the house. Nailed a couple with Black Hills 68gr. JHP's from am AR. Dropped them right there and made a real mess. So if you can hit them your 9mm will work just fine.
 
If you want to know someone who has been killed by coyotes, check out the name Taylor Mitchell. She was hiking in a park in Canada when she was attacked by two. She didn't die immediately, as two other hikers came to her aid, but she died later in the evening.

Later on she turned into a Werewolf and escaped the morgue.
 
You gotta be kidding. It's not about the "joy of killing". There are packs of stray dogs and now coyotes in the cities. Coyotes are on the edges, though. I think one of the reasons for this are the municipal budget cuts that have also affected animal control.



You live in the country to ENJOY nature. I can never figure out why people then want to just kill all of it. Heck, if you don't want coyotes, move to the city.
