Blast away?... You outta go after some of those pesky ISIS critters, might be more of a level playing field.I'm a hunter, but there are very few animals that I just blast away at. Deer, turkey, squirrel, etc I'll hunt in season when I have time. Coyotes I'll shoot on sight. Raccoons I see around the house in the day are almost always rabid need shooting, mostly for safety reasons. In TX, wild hogs are big pests and are always shoot on sight. That said, I have yet to see a coyote around me, though I see there signs and occasionally hear them. Up north in the UP, porcupines are pests and are shot on sight too. Although still rare up there, I always carry something in a hefty caliber when I'm out because wolves and bears are starting to reappear. I learned that lesson when in TX I kicked up a mountain lion while bird hunting, when I saw that and realized I only had birdshot, I was a little nervous. Luckily he wasn't interested in me or the dogs.

Coyote can and do take down full grown white tailed deer, it is not at all uncommon up here, there are examples to be found online showing exactly how they do it and they do it easily. As far as letting you dog get around coyotes I wouldn't suggest or not only for the safety of the dog but also coyotes are major carriers of mange, you don't want your dog getting that stuff, in highly populated areas mange can be rampant in coyotes
