I really dislike these varmints. If that was my dog, I'd be spending the next few nights in the woods with my .30-30 looking for a little payback.Except in Westchester County you are not allowed to hunt with a rifle. Personally, I would rather have the coyotes than the hundreds of Canadian Geese that used to crap all over my yard.
Then I'd use a 12GA pump or auto loaded alternating with slugs & 00 Buck.
