Man Protects Family from Coyote
Cal Sportsman ^ | 5/18/2016 | M Reeber

Posted on 05/18/2016 6:55:34 AM PDT by w1n1

This coyote chose the wrong family to mess with.

Coyotes are ruthless, aggressive and just don’t know their place in the food chain. After this coyote continued to threaten this man’s children and pets, he decided to take matters into his own hands to avoid a potential coyote attack.

Watch this hunter set a local coyote straight after it threatened his family.

He tried to appease it, apologize for past actions and let 100,000 of his buddies immigrate?

What a BS story! They were varmint hunting and went after a wounded yote that had been called in. And from the looks of it the yote was yearling!

A little over the top with ‘that was cool’, ‘I love killing coyotes’ at the end.

Disgusting. What the hell is it about the Calsportman videos that are always just a little bit off?
The site tells us Coyotes are aggressive and ruthless. (45 pounds of raw fury I guess, basically lives on field mice, rabbits, and very small game)

But whatever, I suppose you might not want one around if you let your cats on the back porch or something. But watching this goober “protecting his family” is a hoot.

The chubster manages to avoid a heart failure as he chuffs across the field with dramatic music playing. He’s toting along a 7 foot monstrosity complete with silencer, Glock on his hip. Chasing the Sheltie size menace, he stops and pops him with his odd looking sniper rifle.
He taxes his heart again running after the wounded animal that is fleeing this behemoth 12 times his size. He then pops it a few times with the Glock. The camera man and everyone begins laughing.

Calsportman, that boy just ain’t right.

What a real hero. That coyote was nowhere the fat pig's house or litter. Show a loser shooting something for sadistic pleasure, fine. Claim it's in "protection of his home and family"?

What a feeble toolbag. I just love these self-proclaimed 'heroes' with a scoped, high-caliber rifle. What a real tough-guy. The only thing that's actually afraid of this putz is the box of donuts his wife hid from his fat ass.

Coyotes prey on pets but not humans.

I was thinking about making a Coyote post last night.

I’m rural. I’m sure a lot of you guys are. But in my rural area, coyotes are carefully tracked and talked about at the street parties, town events and get togethers at the post office.

A pack has been getting closer and closer to my house lately.

You see a little dog like that isn’t a problem. Not even to the family. He wants to avoid us more than we want to avoid him.

It’s the packs that bother everyone. A pack has no fear. The pack is what sees you, stops and gets low, and then the others get WAY closer than they did alone.

I had this last week. A single coyote ran by my door while I was outside. He had a rabbit in his mouth. He dropped it, looked at me, got low. I step off the porch and found 2 more coming up on my left.

Packs are a different ball game. A pack will coordinate to get my 2 year old.

And if I have pets, then I’ll hunt these little bastards down without them encroaching. Because pets are family and if a cat or something in my family is being threatened.

Yeah, and I know all about em. I even call ‘em in. But I don’t pretend the are a Timberwolf, and I don’t think those idiots are hunters. They are kids playing army.

My granddaughter’s corgi was severely mauled in his fenced yard this last weekend. Vet thinks he will likely live. This happened in the Atlanta suburb of Dunwoody. Here in southeast Missouri coyotes are considered pests and are shot on sight.

Pack behavior is for sure a problem with coyotes, a single coyote will rarely go after a calf but a pack will really get after calves. I have seen coyote packs attack a cow having a calf, not a pretty sight.

People in rural areas used to routinely kill coyotes to keep the numbers down because of the pack mentality. Now most people don’t understand nature so think coyotes should be left alone.

People moving to rural areas are even known to feed coyotes, skunks and other critters... a really bad idea.

Yeah, that video was...underwhelming, given the promise of the CalGuns article/headline. The ones we have around here are pretty healthy specimens, well-adapted to being around human habitation. A local rancher of my acquaintance and also the former local chief of police has declared war on his place for sheer numbers he’s seeing. They have gotten to a few of this year’s calf crop so that’s $$$ lost to him. I can certainly identify with his need to protect what’s his.

My brother-in-law had one stalking him in the snow during blackpowder deer season. My BIL said that .50 cal. 300 grain pill nearly turned that coyote inside out.

Coyotes are a dangerous nuisance animal. They will kill your livestock and attack your kids. Coyotes attack people all the time. We have them in our neighborhood. They have taken a run at our dog on a leash several times. Almost had to shoot one in the street a couple months ago. The only good coyote is a dead coyote.

There has been a pack of Coyotes in Dunwoody near Nancy Creek for years now. They attack pets all the time. They got a professional trapper after them once but he didn’t have much luck. We are lousy with coyotes all over the Atlanta area.

We have skunks & coyotes here. So far, the coyotes have
been timid. I think when they breed with dogs, it results
in a bolder animal. - Skunk was coming up on our back porch,
rubbing noses with out big dog at the door of her doghouse.
Dub howls with the coyotes; she seems to know their
language.
