Any one have coyote problems?

[Garycw]

So far I've only seen one that tried to catch a deer. I'm not sure how it ended over the hill, but the deer saw him as he started the charge about 100 yards away. Recently my dog caught one I believe trying to eat his food. He not only killed the coyote , but also ate it. Not much left but the skin & fur. He's tougher than he looks.

Yes, those things have decimated the fawn population down here in my area. I get them on game cam occasionally. We have no more predators that could keep the numbers down so they breed and more and more show up. They were just howling in my front field a little bit ago. I have a green field for deer in the front pasture and the yotes have figured out the deer dinner table and they wait for them. Last year I was walking my wife's two small dogs for her and a fawn darted out between them and me...a few seconds later a coyote darted between me and them about 4 foot from me chasing the fawn. They were both hauling butt, I yelled at the coyote and it did not even phase him. My wife is complaining about them and worried because they are coming so close to the house and might get one of her small dogs or two cats. I'm going to get one of those coyote calls and see if I can get one or two and the others will go back down in the deep woods behind our house and stay there.

Nope.

Heck, I haven't even spotted one of those 'coywolfs' that I was warned to be on the lookout for in the "North East"...

Mind you, that thread wasn't too specific about what "North East" they were talking about. :confused3:

OK, I have a dumb question you may be able to answer.

I was telling about noticing that my compass had reversed polarity because the sun doesn't rise in the west. Somebody said "It does someplace"
I was stymied... the planet only spins in one direction. (Or the sun only orbits around the planet one way, depending on your viewpoint.)

So I need to ask you; "what direction does the sun rise from down there?"

Have several large packs around here. I don't hunt them but will shoot on sight. Two years ago I had a big yote chase 2 does in to my deer stand. I shot him instead of the deer. Sitting here in the barn now listening to them. When They get in the backyard I'll fire a few rounds from shotgun and they'll usually stay away from house for 6 months or so.

We have coyotes all over the place out here. A few weeks ago, my neighbor thinks a pack killed one of his calves. The carcass was about 50' from our boarding fence. It didn't last long. Within a couple of days, it was a pile of fur and bones. Our new found rescue pup thought it was great. She keeps bringing bones into the yard.

About 5-6 years ago, we had two coyotes within 25' of the back door. The two dogs we had at that time chased them back into the neighbor's field. By the time I grabbed a rifle and bolted out the door, they were long gone.

I'm always packing heat whenever I need to go the barn from around dusk on. Or during the day if I'm in the back brush/wood area. There could be things that will eat you out there. There's nothing like getting chills on a hot summer day after hearing a snort come from the brush and being more than two seconds from the tractor or a climbable tree. :shocked:

One ran across our drive as I was heading home last night. I don't let the corgis out alone at night, they go as a pair and I stay with them. Not sure how they would do up against a coyote. I have seen them in a fight with my son's 70lb dog, nearly tore him in half, dragon (50 lbs) went for the throat and magic (35 lbs) went for his back legs. Would have killed him for sure in a few more seconds if I wasn't there to break it up. He never again tried to sample dragon's food bowl after that! Coyotes kill for a living so I keep an eye out. Chickens are in a very secure coop at night.

:laughing::laughing: Rest assured Mate that the sun does indeed rise from the East.

They may have been confused by how the sun tracks across the sky though... yours tracks to your South whereas mine tracks to the North.

That was what I thought, but I've never been across the equator and thought I may be mistaken.
Thanks

NOt since the wolves moved in. Yotes and the big mutts don't get along. Miss hearing the yotes at night.
