Good day for me. Bad day for a Coyote

I'm not super fond of it either, but to be honest, after those coyote killed that woman in Cape Breton, my level of of sympathy for coyotes decreased significantly...

I'm not at the "kill them all" level, but in my opinion, *every single time* a coyote is seen, some kind of action should be taken (rocks out of a slingshot maybe?) so they learn that humans are dangerous and should be feared.

thats a scrawny yote. Here in sask they are very healthy and strong. We had a bounty out for them a few yrs ago. Must be a differnt breed of coyote there
 
Kind of ironic that you have one dog you love and care for and another you put a bullet into.

And it ain't sport if both parties don't know they're in the game...
 
The title of the thread on a firearm website mentions a bad day for a wild animal...what did you think you were going to see?

The difference is the wild dog poses a threat to farmers livestock, pets, small children and rarely, but proven threat to adult humans.

There are lots of coyotes around the hills where I live. Bold and getting too close to the house. They range in size. My 50 pound terrier (that isn't scared of anything) steers clear of them. I gotta get a coyote gun so I can start hunting them year round.

That's your second post on this site....did you register on CGN just to spread a little anti-hunting sentiment? BTW, it's a coyote...not a dog. If you're confused about the difference, perhaps you ought to do a little research. Better yet, talk to some of the farmers I know here in Ontario who've lost sheep to coyotes. Care to know what a full-grown sheep sells for? How about friends of mine here in the town I live (firearm discharge not allowed) who've had family pets attacked or killed. I'm not in the "kill 'em all" mindset yet, but am convinced there are too many around...and CERTAINLY don't feel at all bad seeing one dead in a photo on a GUN/shooting/hunting website like this one.

Re-read what I said. I said *every single time*. Coyotes need to learn to fear humans. Every interaction with a human being should be a negative one for a coyote.

Now, thinks about it... what percentage of Canadians can legally fire guns? Do you have a gun with you *every time* you are out in the woods? Is every spot where you might meet a coyote one where you can legally, or safely, discharge a firearm? Hell no!

Hence rocks.

Coyotes explore unfamiliar animals by having a series of progressive encounters where they become more and more bold and daring. When they come to the conclusion that humans are large but slow, bumbling animals that coo and aaawe when they spot coyotes and don't seem to have any offensive capability whatsoever, they will start wondering how we good we tastes. Coyotes should learn that humans are unpredictable, short tempered animals, not two-legged food...

Of course, if you are in a position to shoot the coyote, then shoot. But in most cases, for most people, rocks, sticks and yelling will be more achievable.

A bullet in them and they will fear humans. Every percentage of canadians can legally fire a gun. That percentage drops when you ask how many can legally own one.
Imho the only good coyote is a dead one. We have lost to many calves to them.
 
I got this in an open field today. at 296 yards. I think i could get into this coyote hunting stuff!!!

Geez guys, if you don't like yote hunting and can't handle a little healthy reality go back to watching tv. It would be illegal to hunt yotes if they weren't a nuisance. Fortunately there are still men in the world who can handle mans work. Nice shooting and killing clayne. Rid the earth of those pests.
 
I can see Clayne_B is really phased by the antis who've posted in this thread. lol Nice shooting Clayne~how are you liking that .204? Would love to see some groups you're getting with it, but it looks like you're too busy out in the desert! :)

As I said previously, I will not shed a tear for a coyote slain. I just don't think it's realistic to expect everyone to have a gun at hand when one shows up, and that was my point. I do hope that a portion of the population stops cooing and taking photos and act more aggressively...

... but there will always be a few idiots who feed them or some other hare-brained scheme.
