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.
Agree, BS story. Knew a coyote hunter in WY when the pelts were worth $40 each who took over 50 with a total of 62 rounds. Most were taken at distances of 300 yards up.
LOL, yeah, gigglz, that was really manly! lol! Perfect interpretation DesRhin! lol!
I live on a ranch, we don’t act like that, lol.
Never had a coyote stalk me, just follow me to clean up my gutpiles.
This video is stupid. What a moron.
A .22 to the ear will bring down the biggest of hogs.
Be glad you are in Georgia. Here in suburban next-to-wild-hills SoCal no one would shoot them, who knows, maybe it’s even illegal. And it is dangerous to just allow them to get bolder and bolder and eat pets and keep coming back into the suburbs to get more goodies. They should lose pack members when they come into neighborhoods. This is not an animal minding its own business who happens to be dangerous, like the innocent rattlesnake. WE should watch out for them. The coyote is basically encouraged to come into the hood and we need to DIScouage this.
When I was a kid in the 70s up in Montana you could go for years and not see a coyote unless you were hunting for them. The rancher kids used to stop their pick up trucks and shoot them whenever they saw them so they hid from people like you would not believe. When I go back to Montana now as an adult now I see coyotes everywhere because no one shoots at them anymore. That’s why they’re getting a little aggressive, they have forgotten their fear.
But as you said, a 45 pound coyote even when it’s aggressive is now much danger except to it two-year-old toddler or a cat.
Is he nuts? Only two guns to hunt down a sick 35-pound coyote pup? He should’ve had three, minimum. Maybe a couple of grenades, to be on the totally safe side.
Chortling, high-fiving cowards. Weren’t they proud? Exactly like watching one of those knockout game videos. Pure bloodlust, that’s what that was all about.
It’s always open season on coyotes here in my state. They are clearly a nuisance animal, and it’ll give you the creeps to hear a whole pack start howling when you’re in a deer stand at o dark thirty waiting for the sun to come up. Killing as many of them as possible is doing farmers, ranchers and pet owners a favor.
When you see what coyotes do to a deer or a cow or to smaller livestock or pets, you tend to adopt a take-no-prisoners approach where coyotes are concerned. Therefore, whether I am hunting hogs, deer, or whatever, I would shoot any coyote I see.
I agree with your assessment of the video. It certainly failed to live up to the hype and the headline.
We have coywolves - many have Eastern wolf DNA. One shot by a neighbor two years ago weighed 65 lbs.
That may have been the thought in the mind of the one trailing my BIL, too.
It should be noted that in California, in recent years, coyotes have become much more aggressive, attacking small children, and in one case an adult jogger. With no indication of rabies.
Where I grew up we were far from houses, no dogs to breed with coyotes.
Coyotes are pretty timid when alone, the problem is when they run in packs. In a pack those timid coyotes aren’t so timid.
It works the same with domesticated dogs, one stray dog is not usually a problem but if there are two or a pack running together that is when they can and will attack cattle and horses. Hard for people to believe their fluffy would do such a thing.
Pack behavior is why many rural people are quick to shoot coyotes and stray dogs.
400, 500 pound wild boar, charging?
.22?
I know a guy in Idaho who goes bow hunting for Grizley during bow season.
Not allowed to carry a gun during bow season. I wouldn’t do that either.
.308 works just fine.

And my .22 Henry is my favorite gun.
I did not say charging. I don’t think I have ever been charged by one. I normally stalk my prey.
We will get families rutting down in mud, water and muck with 30 or 40 pigs.
Momma and especially pappa can be protective.
If babies are around.
I feed em hard corn soaked in water for three or four days.
Attracts em then go for the biggest on down the line.
Often more than one bull of poppa.
From here just west of Stuart down to North Palm they say there are one million mixed pigs.
I aim to get my share cause I don’t want them to cause me to crash my plane.
Not sure where this is, but if its an eastern coyote, unless you have a small dog or cat as a pet, they aren’t much of a threat to anything. A very small unattended child might be a threat, but they are all over where I live, and in the entire history of the state of PA there has only been 1 confirmed human death attributed to a coyote.
