Coyotes kill a lot of pets. Only one adult has been documented to have been killed by coyotes. However, coyotes are just small wolves. Coyotes and wolves interbreed successfully. Coyotes, wolves and dogs are all just variants of a very successful and highly elastic genotype.

Open season. No bag limit.

The morons in that neighborhood were feeding the damn things. By hand....

I think it was the Tx Governor who shot a coyote several years ago. He was out jogging and dispatched the varmint with a LCP.

They are approaching a shoot on site situation in Tx.

There used to be a bounty on coyotes scalps. Two bucks for a piece of scalp with the ears attached.
That was back when .22 LR ammo was about a penny a round

“Coyotes and wolves interbreed successfully.”

We have Coy-dogs around here. Bigger than coyotes and absolutely no fear of man.

Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me to be on or off . And ping me is you see articles of interest.

There's a reason in many (most?) states outside of urban areas there's open season on coyotes.

So true! The coyotes where I live, in the Colorado mountains, are not like the small, mangy ones in the lowland suburbs. They're larger, with thick coats, aggressive, and look very much like wolves. Last year, I saw a pack of them running up my mountain hill, through the trees, at full run. It was like a werewolf movie. Very surreal.

There’s a new breed, a cross-section of coyotes and wolves called “Coywolves”.

Those things are flat out dangerous.

This happened 2 streets over from my mom’s. A friend grew up at that address.

The neighborhood is devastated and hung big blue ribbons around trees in support of the boy.

I live in a rural area in north Texas, and people around here hang coyote skins from their fence posts. Always thought that was weird, but whatever.

[antidemoncrat]

I don’t understand why those folks in that neighborhood haven’t fed that coyote a piece of lead instead of food.

This is the bleeding heart PETA’s fault. No hunting... No trapping... Depleting their own natural resources...

Cause and effect.
