Coyote attack

TheWall · 10-30-2009, 10:47 PM

I live on a island in Texas and see them all the time. At night and sometimes during the day. Many a small dog or cat have gone missing. One day I came up on a black one as I rounded the corner of a building. He looked at me and just trotted off into an open area and layed down. I had never seen a black coyote before. Maybe it was a dog mix as mentioned in previous post. My wife walks our dog sometimes in the early morning when it's still dark. She takes her revolver along just in case. There are some two legged coyotes out there too.

Wife walks also and told me that she saw a coyote 300yds from the house,I had a Catahoula Lepard Dog that weighed in at 65-70 pounds that walked with her and some teens swerved and run him down messed him up and he could not control blader or bowel so I had to put him down.So she walks alone,noticed the deer are not hanging around and it might be time to bait and get the 22/250 out.

It actually cracks me up a little, in a twisted way.

Tiny broad goes into the woods thinking Disney thoughts ...finds out that she is tasty, with or without catsup

That's part of what's wrong with the world, they don't realize that Predators will make a meal out of you in a heartbeat. All these dangfool treehuggers need a wakeup call. If you want humans to be safe, you have to KILL things. If they don't have a FEAR of humans...INSTILL ONE in 'em.

This is why we have hunting seasons...but Varmint/predator seasons tend to be year-round

I agree, it was a tragic, yet easily avoidable event. I even wonder if there was some other kind of catalyst for the situation: did she attempt to feed them, was she menstruating, did she attempt to handle their young? Plain and simple, coyotes are carnivoires and a petite thing like her would be far from intimidating to a curious and hungry bunch of them. Don't give predators an inch, they will certainly take advantage of the situation.

If you step off the beaten path, you are no longer on the top of the food chain...

I had a half grown racoon one night fishing climbing around on a log that was overgrown with vines eventually come up and wanted to fight me for my bait(chicken livers) he walked right up to within 4 ft of me and stood on his hind legs and get agresive.Out came my Ruger 22 auto and he got 2 in the head so fast he didn't know what hit him.He showed no fear of me and that really bothered me.He didn't get the chicken livers and I caught a good mess of chanel cats.Cute and cuddly and all at once agresive,had one for a pet when I was a kid and know how they are when they want something,still got the scars.

That's got to be of of the most bizarre stories I've ever heard. I mena I've heard of them attacking people before, but not to that extent when there were obviously other people in close procimity. And my fiancee wonders why I take my .45ACP when I go out hunting.

If anyone is encouraging coyotes to come around their homes I hope they either don't have or aren't too attached to their pets!

I live near Tulsa, OK and in the burbs of Tulsa coyotes are tearing up house pets, both dogs and cats. People are finding scraps of their pets in their yards. It would take an incredibly big bad dog to survive being swarmed.

AH, I don't go anywhere without a bullet launcher of some kind. Woods or asphalt. Just about the time you think "this is a pretty safe town" something will happen in broad daylight in the parking lot of your grocery store that shows you otherwise. Remember all the hikers bodies found in national parks around the country. Crazy ex boyfriends are even going to churches to smoke their former girlfriends. (it's the one place they know they'll be)
