coyote attack in Cape Breton

[Cranky Pants]

I wish I had a hunting dog! My poor old Lab runs and hides when I bring out a firearm! She's even scared of fishing rods too for some reason?

Waiting on a Foxpro, should be here this week. I was on the tracks of 4 yesterday but they were long gone. Hard hunting them around here, no farmland and not a big population in any one area.

Baiting seems to work better but I haven't been there at the same time yet!

I gotta get one to justify the time I have spent in the field. The posts from out west sicken me, 5 dogs or more in one day??? If those fellas had to hunt here they wouldn't think there was a single living creature in our woods!

Oh we have a good number and when you find one you will find 5 or 6. Foxpro will help for sure. All joking aside get your self set up as close as you can to towns within legal limits of course and you will see them especialy in jan and feb.
As crazy as it sounds you might be going too deep in the woods

We were checking out the rails & trails for fallen trees when we came across a guy walking. This was at like 10pm at night, and one of the first things he asked was if they are coyotes around and what he should do.
Told him, he shouldn't worry about them, but if he feels like it, to carry a stick or something.

Here is one of my backyard in town buddies. Daughter took this off the back step last january I think.

I'll be the first to admit I end up too far in the woods. It's a bad habit I seem to have a hard time breaking.

I don't like going in too close to houses or off well travelled roads, all someone has to see is "Man in full camo with gun" and the SWAT team will be waiting for me at the truck.


I see in Amherst 3 schools are on lockdown as reports of "man with a weapon" circulate. Maybe he was putting the CLUB on his vehicle!

You need a good compound bow, or a large breed dog, the coyote would not know what hit it.

I wish one would show up in my backyard

Have two bows unfortunately I release an arrow in town limits and I am charged just like firing a rifle. Have a nice anti living right next door also to make sure the police are called.

Guess a large dog is your only option then.

I don't like being in close either but right now the dogs are smart and that is where they go here once the trapping starts and the deer season is over.
I normally hunt them with a 223 to save the pelt since I give them to a trapper to collect the bounty. However when they move close to town I switch to the 10ga with no. 4 buck and good bye pelts. But that is ok.
Sounds like you want to be like this guy in new brunswick last year. He was having quite a season

Have 2 britts and a big rottie but don't want them near the coyotes. There have been many cases here of one coyote drawing a dog out of his yard into the woods where a whole pack was waiting to tear him apart. Last year alone on my street two labs were attacked one the owner had it on a leash. Both I think had to be put down afterwards

you could lure it in with a steak in one hand and then have a sword in the other hand

Yea, no way I'd let any dog near a coyote, unless it was bred and raised for hunting them.

No powerlines to walk nearby?

Don't laugh. I have on two occasions called coyotes in from my back deck with the fox pro just to prove to some non believers how close they were. This fall they were digging up potatoes of all things in the garden for a few weeks. I was blaming the racoons until I seen the coyotes doing it

I was thinking more along the lines of a wolf hound, great pyrenese, Anatolian shepard.

These dogs are bred for killing these pests, when i was younger we had a pair of samoyeds on the farm, there were no coyotes to be seen for miles, Except for the dead ones drug back to the yard!

I love how it is said "Hikers should carry a knife" If you about to be attacked good luck, those little bastards are way faster than we are. I don't see why we can't just carry a .357 mag in the woods, it would make life so much easier. I mean heck, even if you miss, the bang will scare the little buggers half to death. Every time I go deep in, I have a 12ga on me, but they are large and cumbersome.

I shot at foxes to scare them away, only to have them return within 5min.

I have actually fired at coyotes over your way in the past few years when on two different ocassions they came into a field and attacked our goose stuffers.Both attacks were in the summerside area.
