Deterring Coyote/Coy dogs

[jodief100]

We have never had trouble with the coyotes but the Coy-dogs are another story. We had one that took over a pack and all of them became aggressive. My Pyrs were spending all night running the fence line keeping them off at kidding time. So I set up a crows nest, borrowed a friend night vision goggles and took out the leader with an M1 Garand one evening right at dusk.

I haven't had trouble since.

The Game Warden came and took the coy-dog away. He asked how I got it since he had been trying to for months. I showed him my set up. It was an uphill shot in low light, we measured it at 220 yards. .306 with iron sights (I have a scope but the night vision goggles won't work with it). He asked if he could add me to the list of approved, in city limits shooters for problem animals. The point is- the darn things are mean, aggressive and smart!

That coy-dog had three calf tags in it's stomach. My neighbor still owes me a thank you.

I wish you luck, it takes patience to get rid of them.

I just getting ready to bring my first goats home tomorrow and this has been a fear of mine, because we have several yotes in the area; when I first moved to this location they ate my squirrel dogs off the chain. I've heard my other dogs at night raising cane and have came out and seen them standing within 20 yards of my dog.

I hope all works out for you and like everyone else I am curious how the NiteGuard will work, keep us posted

The whole pack came back last night.
They were screaming and wailing along our fence line where the goats were.
I bolted at them screaming and swearing worse then a p^$^ed off cat and thankfully that got them to bolt. Adam made it out behind me with the gun this time, and we went looking for them in hopes of shooting one or at least at them to show were a threat.
Nope, they all shot up the hill towards the cattle and took out a calf from the sounds of it. I hate these monsters, at least the other coyotes we used to have just ate the turkeys and deer. These hybrid things have demolished ALL of the wild turkeys, and the deer have stopped coming this year.
There monsters!!
How do you take out something like that????

Hold your cool next time. Dont scare them off.
Go out quietly get a little closer and take a few of them out.

If we only have a Baretta 9 mm will it still do the trick?

You have to get really close with a handgun. I shoot competitivly and go through about 5000 rounds of 9mm a year. I don't think I could get close enough to a Coy-dog to get in a kill shot. Maybe, but I doubt it. Long gun with a bench rest is what you really need.

We have a double barrel shot gun? It was given to us by a friend of ours, but the scope is broken and it kicks worse then a mule. But if you think that would work better, I dont mind going out with it.

Shot gun is better than a hand gun. Use some heavy shot like buckshot or slugs. Slugs are better. You will still need to get within about 50 yards. Get a shoulder pad and make sure the gun is tight into your shoulder. Move your body, not the gun. This will help with the kick and your aim. Side by side or over/under?

The night guards arrived today and I just set them up. Lets see how this works and what happens.

I can figure out a shoulder pad.
I believe your asking about the double barrel right? its side by side.
