I did a search and they have them like duck decoys. Interesting.
On the parents farm, neighbors have lost dogs to coyotes. One smaller coyote will start playing with the dog and lure them away from the house. Then the pack will jump the dog and kill it.
Reading one of the article further, they talk about using the dogs to chase a coyote until they get worn down and then the hunter catches up and kills it. I guess that would work as long as the dogs outnumber the coyotes. Where the parents are, the coyotes have a den and it would be hard to flush them out for a sole hunter and a couple of dogs.
The coyotes are a real problem. They have killed all the small game and their only predators are hunters. At some point, they run out of things to eat.
Thanks for the info. Have fun hunting them and stay safe.
I have been on many hound hunts for coyotes.
Never seen yotes turn on the dogs and get the better of them.
Wolves at certain times of the year can be hard on a pack.
Most of the time they just run also.
Out in far NW Kansas, I know a farmer who hunts coyotes with greyhounds.
He had an old Toyota 4WD pick up truck where he placed a 6 dog kennel on the back bed where the dogs could look out thru their windows. He would drive the back roads in the late afternoons looking for coyotes and when he would see one out in the fields, he would pull a cord in his cab that would drop the sides of the kennels, releasing the dogs.
The dogs, being sight hunters, would take off after the coyote with the truck following across the fields as best as it could.
If the dogs caught up with the coyote, they would eventually grab it by its legs and try to rip it apart and the farmer would end the struggle with a sledge hammer........
He had one dog that was a hybrid. It was a mixture of Russian Wolfhound, (it was big) greyhound and wolf............
We went out one evening with him and when he let the dogs out, they just cruised down the road ahead of us at 35 MPH easily.............They ended up catching a badger......
