Be careful, coyotes will engage a dog in a playful manner and lure the dog out to its buddies. The pack will then attack the dog as a group. Either dispatch the coyote or call in your dog.
You should be able to discharge a firearm is you feel like you are in danger...
this!!!!!!
Yeah. The coyote ain't playin', except with his food.

The coyotes are getting weird! One followed my boss's dogs in the house, through the doggie door! Time to fire up the air-rifle Steve!
+1000 Coyotes are very intelligent.
Decoy's assessment is spot on. We lived in the mountains in SoCal for seven years and that tactic is used very successfully to decrease the population of local dogs that stray out of their yards. There were many nights that you could hear the entire encounter from playing to the pack killing the dog. Usually the next day some young boy or girl would stop by and ask if we had seen their dog as it had not come home and they were looking for it.

after the hit, a shovel_
(average airguns plainly wounding, and animals don't deserve that)

That is like reaching through the fence into the lion cage at the zoo. It is a WILD animal. There is a reason the coyote it the worlds most adaptable animal, they are not stupid at all.
The coyote isn't playing with your dog. It's simply "foreplay" before supper!
I agree they are getting smarter and more brazen. I had one following my lab as he followed me on my quad a couple of times in the middle of the day but I saw multiple tracks so I knew there were more around.
I know what they were planning for the lab, it was just a matter of timing for them for when i wasn't around. I heard them one night in the field way up by the tree line and was able to see them within the dbal 2. i am not completely sure what happened to them but I have not seen them since, it's weird because since they moved I have been seeing a lot of crows

Yep, I know what you are saying to be true. My wife is a Ranchers daughter and they lost some dogs to coyotes.
We have another dog, a big black dog that isn't the playful type when coyotes come around. I have another clip of Nova chasing off the coyote.
We bring the dogs in at night but they hang out during the day.
If your dog isn't fixed and in heat then that might be how a coydog gets made.
Otherwise, I agree with the others - the coyote is playing with a future dinner.

She's fixed.
The silly dog will play with anything, plays with the elk calves, Moo calves, all the neighbors dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, you name it, she's got a funny nature to her.
Tonight At Six:
"Wisconsin family awakes to horror as the "friendliest coyote in the state" mauls young daughter to death in her sleep. Father doesn't understand what went wrong."
I have pups right now so I have to keep an eye on them. 2 Akita pups and 2 Great Pyrenees, and one Great Pyrenees and Anatolian shepherd mix pup. Also, I have 3 full grown Great Pyrenees. I go through a ton of dog food. My 5 1/2 year old Akita who passed away last summer from bloat used to attack and kill the coyotes in the area. We would rarely see any coyotes. After he passed they were every where and started taking sheep. That's the reason for all the pups right now. I haven't seen it, but have heard all the stories on how coyotes trick dogs to their death. I have had coyotes start to come up to me, in the middle of the night, when I shine the light on them. Unfortunately, for them the light is on the end of my shotgun/ boom stick. Let's just say it doesn't end well for them.
I almost feel bad for laughing at that, almost....
I would never trust one. Let alone have one in my house with kids!!!
Father in law has the same problem with them up in NH, one comes out to play and tried to lure their Australian Shepherd into the wood line.
Yotes and rabies go hand and hand. Kill the fucker first chance you get!
Excellent advice! I've dealt with a number of these types of calls.
my buddy has a beagle that will decoy and bring the pack into the open and then its empty the mags as fast as you can pull the trigger
The video of the pet yote making noise got my dogs so worked up I had to shut it off! The one out of the three dogs that didnt giva shit was the only one with coyote experience.
Good quick story about her(115-130lb black lab mastif mix). Neighbor warns me that a coyote had yardsaled a chicken next place over. While she is telling me this my dog is investigating and I can't call her off the scent. Dog finally relents and I think nothing of it.
Next morning take the dogs out back to do their morning piss and such.
Well I'll be damned if a big ass yote wasn't standing back there too!
My dog took one look at him and took off... Straight at him. Weirdest run I ever saw, dog moved like she was on rails with her tail straight out and covered the 30 or so feet to the coyote in seconds.
The coyote went from having a smug F you look on his face, to eyballs the size of dinner plates as she covered the last few feet and bit him in the side. She pretty much had the whole ribcage of its left side in her mouth. She went for a neck bite and it escaped like its tail was on fire. She followed a bit and then came back for some much deserved praise.
Hav'nt had problems with that guy since.
I too live in town and can't discharge a weapon, but I think the neigbors would be pretty understanding. Well all but one.. there is always that one...
Keep your dog safe and in view!

Seen coyotes playing with calves. I've also seen the pack waiting in the distance for the cow to finish giving birth, so they can have an easy meal. Too many cows have I drug off to the bone pile for me to ever let one walk. Coyotes are the reason I got into long range shooting, and therefore this great website. I wanted to be able to hit one as far as I can see one. My annual kill total has significantly increased, because I show them no remorse. Even if I'm deer hunting, I don't let one walk if I don't see a deer in my vicinity. If I lived in city limits, they'd get an arrow passed through them.
Friggin amateurs here! You want to get rid of Coyotes? Get a badger!

A few years back I had an older ( around 11 or so as we adopted her at 2 0r 3)pitbull female, she never liked going out at night and hated storms. In the late summer it rained for a few days on end, late one night she wanted out. It was out of character for her and she would not stop at anything to get out. I opened the back door and she bolted. Didnt get her back til the next morning, about 120 yds from the house I found two dead coyotes, and 4 feeding on her while she was still alive about 80 yds further. I had to put her down, and had wished I was a little quicker with the coyotes, only got 2 on the run. Over the next few days I killed 14 on my property of 8 acres, never leaving my back yard. It was insane, called the DEC in NY and they did not think I was telling the truth. I had them come out and they had not seen a pack of that size so close or brazen. Now no matter what if I see one and can get to it it is done for. I no longer call the DEC. 22 hornet at night and 223 or whatever is quickest to grab during daylight
If have a personal vendetta if I were you. Death by lead injection.
Sierracharlie out....
When I was a teenager back in the 80's we had a bounty here in west Texas on coyotes. $10 for a set of ears-easy money for a 15 to 16 year old kid with a 22 mag. Had a friend who tried to raise one as a pet, every year it would get a little more distant. After 3 years went ahead and collected on it too! They are not a pet or a playmate for your pet, Take it out whenever you get a chance.
i hope you got enough ammo to kill all of your dogs new friends...
Last March got a call from my wife that there was a fox in the backyard and she got pictures. The kids 4 and 5 were so excited! Wildlife in Arlington Massachusetts! Boston is visible just through the trees to the left of the animal. The city is walking distance. The Brits passed easily through Arlington (Menotomy) heading west in April of 1775. Walking back was not so easy.
Anyway these are the pictures.
Long story short she now knows what a coyote looks like.

I once heard a pack of coyotes going absolutely nuts at night for about 15 minutes. The next morning we noticed my next door neighbor's husky had a torn ear, so we hiked up the mountain to investigate (I lived up a big canyon at the time). We were pretty shocked to find 13 dead coyotes! About half of them were young ones but there were also some good sized ones. That was one tough husky!
As someone with a farm in South Texas, I dispatch any coyote with extreme prejudice.

If you like your dog, find a way to kill that critter, then kill his friends. Predators don't play.
My dad has always had 2 or 3 big mean dogs. The most recent couple he has is a Rhodesian ridgeback and a black mouth curr. When they hear coyotes in the evening, they disappear into the woods. You hear all hell break loose for a while. The next morning there will be two big dogs sleeping in their houses. Sometimes a few dead coyotes in the yard.
I grew up in south Texas too. Kill on site is how I was taught. I've seen them use the exact tactics that everyone is talking about.

High Speed Lead Injection is all that's needed
that`s where coy-dogs come from
A few years back we lived out in the middle of nowhere. We had two half great dane lab mix. Small one was 100 pounds larger one about 130. Was curious how they would they would be around the yotes out there. I came home one afternoon to see them literally tearing a yote in half. A great dane on each end was no match for those yotes. They kept a wide girth around my property. In the next 15 year we would find random dead yotes from those great dane mix. They lived to be 15 and 16 years old which really amazed me. Man i miss those girls.
Once you go black....
Don't know what the law is in AZ, but in Texas, you are authorized to discharge a firearm to protect your property (including pets). Of course, you are still responsible for where the bullet ends up.
Had a guy ask me about it the other day (we have lots of coyotes in the city limits). He told me that a few weeks ago, a bobcat had one of his mexican rat dogs in it's mouth on is roof.
The last time that I went looking for bambi a few weeks ago after the sun went down I had a mile hike back to the truck and yotes were singing all around me. I have always wondered if there are enough of them if they would make a run at an adult so I had a round in the chamber and my thumb on the safety. I don't really want to be the "first report".
Where I live my property backs up to a wildlife refuge and at one time I had five dachshunds. Two of them came up missing and by the time I figured out what was happening I lost two more. The coyote's are very smart and will lure your dog out until the pack can attack them. Never think that coyote's are playing with your dog.
They are not playing with your dog they will kill it. I would call animal control and get a permit or permission to shoot one what every your local law will allow.
Some yotes killed Taylor Mitchell in Canada:
Taylor Mitchell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On October 27, 2009, Mitchell was hiking alone during the afternoon on the Skyline Trail in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia. During her hike, she was attacked and fed on[10] by three[11] coyotes. During the attack, a group of four other hikers came across the scene, managed to scare the remaining coyote[11] away and called 911. When emergency crews arrived, she was taken to a hospital in Cheticamp and then airlifted to Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre in Halifax in critical condition. She died overnight.[1]
