Them damn COYOTES!!!!!!!! - Page 4

KChiefsQT · 03-17-2008, 09:39 AM

This morning my little terrier "Macy" got jumped by 3 coyotes... and these ****ers were huge. I should have been paying more attention as she was acting really sketchy all morning. Barking, looking at me... heading up the hill... turning around making sure I was there. Luckily, my neighbor and I were outside talking and all the sudden Macy took off like a bat outta hell. My neighbor says "Ohhh shit" just enough time for me to turn my head around and see two coyotes surrounding my girl. We both ran up the hill right as a third was coming in for the grab. I think between my neighbor, my black lab that joined us and I they got a little timid, dropped her and took off. She's alive but has a few puncture wounds. Now, In Texas it was easier to hunt these bastards because of all the open land. But, the terrain here is a lot different, hills and trees makes it easier for them to roam without you noticing. My shotgun's loaded with shells and I'm waiting for a few buddies to meet me up here. As for the dogs, my lab is itching to get outside but I'm keeping him in for now and little Macy is at the Animal Hospital getting cleaned up. Sorry for the long story there, I'm just all kinds of pumped right now. I guess I should be counting my blessings that Macy's not dead.

Well she thinks she's a stud and decided to run up the hill when she spotted them... crazy bitch.

Anyway, they've killed 5 so far and are coming back up tomorrow... he set some traps up (Don't know what their called) but supposedly the coyotes legs get stuck in them and then you just shoot em. Apparently there's a lot more of them then initially thought. Also came across a bobcat and a bunch of wild turkey's today.

Yep, not from personal experience!

Hopefully the hunting/trapping works well. If you continue to see them you might want to consider adding a hound dog or two to your pack. Talk with Mohillbilly if you do add some dogs, he is one of the local experts on the matter. He also would have good advice on pest(big pests in your case!) control.

There's a thread somewhere on hear recently about Raccoons.

Anyway, hope your dog is doing better.

Do you all pronounce it "Kai-oat" or "Kai-o-tea"?

I actually enjoy saying "Kai-oat".

Were it a one on one fight I’d agree, but coyotes don’t roll like that. A dog takes on one, they’re taking on the pack.

Those scruffy things are killing all the deer and wild turkeys... not to mention a threat to domestic animals. I think it's a great idea to put em all out. Upon further thought....YOU should jump in the pack, then we'd be killing two useless scruffy things with one stone!

If the coyotes are gone, good luck dealing with the coons, possums, prairie dogs and whatever other smaller wild animals you have there.

BTW, a great novel with a coyote as the centerpiece is Barbara Kingsolver's The Prodigal Summer.
