Walking your dog in coyote areas!
They forgot to mention, "carry a big stick " as in the movie " Walking Tall "
Folks around our place carry Bear spray. Coyotes have been a real problem for dog walkers for the past couple of years. Despite the new-home construction around these parts,there's still tons of open fields and bush for Coyotes to live in. We've even had a couple of Bears around just this spring and summer (between Courtice- Bowmanville.)
I like the part where they say "throw rocks and branches at the ground near the coyote"
God forbid that you might hit the poor coyote!
Every article from coyote lovers to coyote haters agrees that they're an INVASIVE SPECIE.
Why do the coyote lovers (animal lovers) only love coyotes and not Norway rats!
WHAT? rats have rights too y'know! They're smart and warm blooded and feel pain.
I have yet to meet any really TRUE animal lovers. Most are very hypocritical. They seem to pick and choose which animals they champion.
Anyway I have been around a while and seen what game populations are today as compared to pre 1980's before the coyotes showed up.
I say kill'em all .... by any means!
I carry dog spray always. They're lining up at McDonalds now. :)
LOL. It's not uncommon to be in our local Timmies line up and seeing one or two Yotes trying to figure out how to get into the garbage bins.Quote:

I agree with controlling yotes in the wild; but in an urban setting they are helpful in controlling the cat population, another urban pest. Cat are responsible for the threatened extinction of various song birds, let the coyote keep the cat population under control.Quote:

Unfortunately there is unwanted interaction between coyote and dogs, can't always blame the yotes, some people's dogs look like cats.😁
Seriously, I don't care what-so-ever about cats whether they be wild or domestic that people let roam. Cats should be treated with the same rules as dogs, leashed, tagged, under control. If people had their dogs under control some interaction between coyote and dogs could be avoided. And as noted already we need to consider taking spray along with us when we walk. I do feel for those whose dogs have been killed or injured, my dog is my best friend.
Yeh Doug I agree I like the coyotes in the City taking out the free rooming pet cats where the owners let them wander everywhere and they are killing tons of birds.One of the few benefits of coyotes in the city.
I don't really worry about them other than when they're having pups. I routinely have them in my backyard and I walk the dog in the woods out back. Never ran into any while out. Not that it couldn't happen but most will avoid people just like any other animal. Always surprises me how many people on forums worry about running into coyotes or bears. Seems odd to me. I've wandered the woods alone since I was probably 8 years old. Wild animals do not seek out humans.
Coyotes like easy meals. Fast food so to speak
But if they are hungry and desperate they will attack a farm dog. During a severe Mid winter usually
I am aware of Bigger coy- dogs killing a large dog locally
Small dogs and cats are fast food

Especially during the early years when they were true coyotes, now with a lot of wolf DNA in them , some look a bit different.
Been hunting them for over 40 years, with many many killed, some looked like those depending on the time of year they were shot.
No. No they don’t but never underestimate coyotes and their capacity to kill your dogs. My Britt and I got followed right to the truck in a county Forest I train in. The dog is the one who spotted him first. If I had a gun it would have died about 100ft from my truck when I spotted him. Those county forests are full of trail walkers with dogs.Quote:

The rest scattered. I got two more shots off,but,missed both. The horse riders kept on going without sticking around,but,there was a trail of blood all the way up the trail back to the trailer park area. I hope the horses weren't hurt to bad.Quote:

In other words, not a high odds area for coyotes waiting for a dog meal.

First i would bet the horses did not startle too much at the sound of the rifle, second I would have loved to be a fly on the wall back at the parking lot and the ride to the vet/home.Quote:

There was a 11-12 year old girls riding a pony a few years ago in the field( 9 to 10 acre backyard)behind her grandparents place. Two Coyotes surprised them and the pony threw her and ran. Coyotes took off after the pony, but turned and went for the girl after she started scream in pain from a broken arm. It took both parents and her grandfather to keep the coyotes off, and they followed them all the way to the house.
Pony ran into the barn, and three horses and a pony was more then the coyotes could handle so they left.
The horses didn't seem to notice the rifle crack and the riders had their hands full trying to keep them "in hand" and get them out of the area. I've often wondered the same thing,about what they may have thought afterward,but,if the horses needed immediate care,I can certainly understand their priorities. Member's who use the area at any given time have permits prominently affixed to vehicles with identifiers readily available. I'm kind of surprised that I have never had any feedback.Quote:

They turn tail and skulk out with slouched shoulders before the meeting is over. They're membership addresses are all from Toronto,so,it's not rocket science to know what horse shyte they're up to. There's no doubt in my mind that if there was no opposition to these miscreants along with the huge amount of permit and membership money from hunters and the financial support from OFAH,hunting would have been banned in those forests long ago.Quote:

The coyotes were just acting like coyotes. giving chase when something runs away from them.Quote:

2 years ago I was doing some pre deer season scouting, watching a doe with 2 fawns feeding in the field when a buck came out and started walking toward the doe. She put her head down and was running the buck off when 2 coyotes came out. She stopped, gave a warning to her fawns who took off into the bush, then she ran the coyotes into the bush as well. Within 3 seconds that doe came flying out of the bush with both coyotes on her heels running her to the opposite side of the field. This gave me time to get my rifle out of the truck and a few minutes later the fawns were back looking for mom. The coyotes came back from chasing the doe off sneaking across the field within 50 yards of the fawns. I put the hurt on the one that walked up the hill a bit and gave me a shot but the second one stayed along the long grass and I couldn't get a shot. It was a lot more excitement than I was expecting to have that evening.
Good stuff, if you hadn't done it they probably would have killed the fawns.Quote:
