I have stated over and over again, that I have no problem with the legal shooting and hunting of coyotes. Do it all the time myself. Its fairly easy. No real reason for any legitimate hunter to have to break the law to control a small population of them in a such a small area. |

They look like dogs.
Ever seen a Coyote chow down?? Downright amazing...
I had that rare opportunity early one morning. I looked out my bedroom window and saw a yote belly crawling. Looked closer and saw the rabbit the yote was stalking. Down the hatch! No real tearing it up, just a big bite. The head goes way back and I could see his neck get larger as the rabbit went down the hatch. Yes, the whole darn rabbit, basically "one bite" and it was done. Have heard that they can unhinge (dislocate) their lower jaw for just that reason. Fur, bones, the whole enchilada. Rabbit was likely still kicking the coyote, from the inside.

When a coyote is doing predation of any livestock of mine, I'm sorta lighthearted and unconcerned about anything but sight picture and trigger squeeze.

My buddy shot a coyote with a 30/06 accelerator round, and it basically blew him apart. And there was a jackrabbit inside of him that was pretty much intact, so I agree that they swallow prey whole..

I've seen them eat a calf or two and it's not a pretty sight. They start eating from the rear and don't bother killing the calf first. I have no love for coyotes and line them up in my sights every chance I get.

Like a shark!
Have spent a fair amount of time on saltwater. Was a commercial fisherman for more than a few years.
Coyotes rather remind me of a shark on land. They are the perfect eating machine....kinda like my grandsons.... My brother had fallen on hard times a good many years ago now. He and his wife and their 3 cats moved in to my place with their small travel trailer. The mountains outside of Bend Or are not a good place to be in the winter. We made it very clear they were welcome to stay in the house with us, but no cats allowed in the house. I am allergic to cats. They chose the travel trailer. The cats? Well I warned her, was about two or three weeks before we were down to zero cats. My SIL is not the brightest bulb on the tree, I told her what happened to kitty #1, apparently it took 3 to convince her. I also showed her what Coyote scat looked like after #1 "ran away", complete with bones and fur....that could well have been from her cats. Like I said, not the brightest bulb on the tree.

I was not into any livestock program nor did I have a friendly fluffy, during my Terlingua years. (1983-2013) I could thus enjoy the yodel dogs' serenades. A call of the wild, if you please.
However, we did compete for the enjoyment of blue quail as an entree--which led to the occasional demise of Ol' Wily. |

And yet again opinion and ego has ruined another coversation on TFL.
O.P. dog food works great, just a dab'el do ya. Or simple mouth calling, wet you lips reeeeal moise, suck in to make squeaky noises, as stated about just a short burst of noise, maybe 10-15 seconds every couple minutes is plenty. They WILL hear you. Shot gun with a tight choke is recommended. They come and are gone quick. Try to not educate them by missing.
