Night before last, we heard Lucy the beagle howling. Got a call the next day, coyotes got her that night. She was tied up outside. They found her dead in the morning, but the coyotes had been unable to drag her off because of her being tied.

Last night, they were howling next door in a very wolf-like way.

Looks like the .223 will get a chance to draw blood.:mad:

This is about 15 minutes north of Whitby, Ontario by the way.
 
And people ask me why I shoot 'yotes.

Sorry for your neighbor's pup and their loss. :(

Go get some payback, and thin that pack some...

I don't know if it will make any difference to the numbers, but maybe it will make them move on, or keep clear of our properties. Not to mention the payback.

I know, I know, I wasn't going to go there, but I have been warning folks around here. Another neighbour down the road kept his new pup (4 months old) tied up outside all day and some nights. He's taking her in now.:rolleyes:

Yeah, I have to agree with the 'dumb f__s' for neighbors comment too... who TIES UP a dog and leaves it outside... in a fenced run, fine - but TIED UP in a rural setting? That's just retarded!

Well, I certainly hope you can put enough fear of the 'boomstick' in the dogs around there that they'll move on at the very least...

I'll say this - we used to have problems with dogs coming right into the farmyard at the homestead - until I started bringing back a few dead ones and putting them about 100yd from the house, leaving them out so the others could scent them. Didn't take long for them to learn, and we haven't had more than 1 or 2 a year come anywhere near our fenceline in the 10 years I've been doing it.

Bring your animals inside at night or lock them in. No-brainer. Whether we like it or not, the 'yotes belong here, this is their natural environment. If you take precautions and they attack your critters or kids- have at 'em, but don't whine if you leave "food" out and wild animals eat it, it's normal. No offence, but your pets are delicious.

It is unwise to leave animals out but if coyotes determine my home, barn and paddocks are part of their natural environment they won't find it "natural" for very long. I don't go out looking for them but those that expect to "belong" too close for my liking will face terminal consequences.
 
Who the hell leaves a gog outside all day/night tied up or in a run. It is no life for the dog and is flat out ignorant to any neighbours who have to listen to constant barking. I am a dog lover, but I also love my peace and quiet.
 
We wouldn't keep our dogs anywhere but with us in the house, and we've always been uncomfortable with folks who do otherwise. Unfortunately, it's fairly common around here ( a rural area).

Last thing I want to do right now is to say "I told you so".

I just posted here as a warning - plenty of cats going missing, too. Let them out for a washroom break, and they don't come back ........
 
this story reminds me of what happened years ago at this guys place i knew .he had his dog in the backyard. big property. the coyotes came in to [ lure ] it into the timber .he actually seen what was gonna happen . ran into the house to grab his rifle . shot the coyote dead.
 
Smaller dogs should not be left outside that is for sure and tying them up is no life for a dog.If you are going to have a outside dog on a farm or acreage you should have a dog capable of defending itself.

A few good choices would be

Great pyrenese
Anatolian shepard
Alaskan malamute (giant variety)

Sad as it is people who buy small breed outside dogs usually pay the price for it and the poor dog suffers a horrible death.
 
Two weeks ago, in the same neck of the woods- Thickson Rd south of Winchester Rd.- coyotes ran my friends horses through a fence during the night. My friend heard the horses running, got the truck lights on the paddock and saw the coyotes chasing them. We do have a coyote problem- they lack fear in many of the areas that they have moved into. Can't shoot them or run them with hounds in many of the areas. A predator with no enemies gets bold. They need to be harassed to keep them timid.
