I shot the neighborhood K9 this morning... Cautionary PIC inside.

So the animal is guilty of following his natural instincts for survival...
I guess that's a good enough reason to kill in hick town.

find a dick and get on it nancy.

killing a coyote is sad?

Those things kill anything they can get their teeth into. Killing one is a good thing.

A wild animal killing other animals? Outrageous!

You're so manly. I can somewhat understand you shooting it cause it was killing your neighbors chickens by why you posing by it like it's something special? You proud of yourself? Man you're so pathetic. Really sounds like a chicken sh@t excuse to kill something. "Yeah I heard a chicken got killed so I killed the nearest wild animal I seen. Yuk yuk.."

God you're dumb. Shooting something at 80 yards in 1 shot (especially in the neck as the OP claims) requires a fair bit of skill.

I watched a fascinating program on dogs and man the other day. The short answer is no, you will probably fail with a randomly selected wild dog pup.
The interesting thing is, pick a friendly one, and do that with successive litters and you end up with a domesticated 'dog' in just a few generations.
The Russians did this huge study using silver foxes, and the foxes even changed colors as they became more tame.

Link?

Good shoot on the coyote, now go out and try to kill as many of them as you can.

Its fun to shoot them this time of year, and local farmers and ranchers just love for you do do it on their property (though I typically go to BLM land around here).

I am always hopeful that a cougar will come into my electronic call, but most of the time I just get the retarded coyotes.

I would love to see a really big wol...I mean coyote come into my crosshairs one day, a whole pack preferably. If they have radio collars, I will just have to make sure it gets thrown on a train or something going through, so it can appear it is migrating.

My cougar/coyote gun is a Savage .243/12ga combo over/under. If they come in real close I will use the 12ga barrel, but most of the time I am shooting the .243 with handloaded 55g Nosler Ballistic Tips.


If it is real cold outside, you can prop them up to freak out neighbors, like a friend and I did at his place one winter on a 20 below zero day -

Actually, my neighbor saw a coyote taking off with one of the chickens. But I have no idea if it was this one. Over the past few years, their population has really exploded. Sometimes we hear packs of them at night yipping etc. They have no natural predators here, so hunting is really the only way to control their numbers. They are very smart, and very difficult to hunt.

Saw this the other day as I was driving home from work. Middle of the DFW metroplex and he walked 30 feet from my car.

A friend of mine has a similar over/under for coyotes. I'm not a serious coyote hunter, but I'll take one if I see one. My 7.62x39 used a 125g Nosler handload.

I'm pretty sure coyotes are the only North American land predator to increase in population since whitey got here.

The program he's describing is almost certainly the Nova episode Dogs Decoded. It was quite good, I saw it a few months back. Here's an online version I found:

Dogs Decoded 1/3

Dogs Decoded 2/3

Dogs Decoded 3/3

Got enough rifle for that beast? You could have backed off to 500 yards just to give him a chance.

Those things kill anything they can get their teeth into. Killing one is a good thing.

About ten years ago, I would take my dogs to the local woods where there were coyotes. People with small dogs used to say that the coyotes would follow them as they hiked and would have to put their dogs on leash so they didn't venture far away.

I had a couple of Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I wasn't sure what to expect but soon discovered that the coyotes liked my Ridgebacks and would play with them.

I'd pose with it too. That was a great shot through the vital area - animal probably died a very quick death.

Thanks! I was looking around for that and did not look down to see you had replied.
Here is a wiki on the foxes:

[Zargon]

wish I could do that here

they are starting to encroach on town, I'd hate to hear my dog bark in the yard to find him surrounded by coyotes....

 

[zinfamous]

I have wondered if it's possible to raise one from a puppy as a pet. They do seem to be somewhat intelligent. I've known you can get wolf mixes.

don't do it.

I own zero guns (Well...kinda)
I don't hunt.
I think you're being foolish, here.

 

[zinfamous]

I would be more impressed if he made the kill with his bare hands. Shooting a animal from 50+ yards away is so pussy. The coyote didn't get any advantage like that.

coyote would have been long gone before Analog could get within 30 feet.

It has its own skills, don't you worry.

 

[Iron Woode]

Wow, I didn't know coyotes were so beautiful. The ones I've seen are all brown and dingy looking.

Wile E. Coyote, Supergenius.

:thumbsup:

highly recommend these documentaries for anyone interested in this stuff.

Science of Dogs is a Nova program (I think), and then there is a National Geographic special about the Breeding History of Dogs through human domestication. pretty awesome.


Bottom line: Do not fucking raise wild animals. Coyote or Wolf =///= dog.
