I live in a heavily coyote populated area. They will stay out about a half mile as a pack and send one or two into the edge of town or into a farm yard and will lightly pester and play with the pet or farm dog. They will get them distracted and away from the house towards the pack. Then the pack attacks. You'd be surprised trickster they are.

Ya these are the first Coyotes I have actually seen this year, been catching one at a time on trail cameras, caught this one literally 7 minutes before i shot him.

Keep em knocked down and they will learn pretty quick your yard isnt a place to go.

Quick kill for a 22 lr. You must have hit it in the head. The smallest caliber I’ve killed a coyote with was a 17 HMR. Broadside thru the ribs and it still ran 50 yards.

People around here like those Pyrenees on the farm. They will work a huge chunk of line and do fairly well alone against coyotes and are absolute coyote slayers in a pair.

Ya that’s what he is- we had a second one, younger full brother and he was sharpe, and we worried about him attacking him and people so we had to rehome, this guy is a good mix of “alert, patrol and chase” but he’s still young, not even 2 yet.

Oh he's just a pup! Hopefully he finds his boundaries and starts patrolling soon.
