Coyotes, such as the one pictured above, are being spotted in New Berlin. One attacked a poodle on Oct. 22 near its home.

Doggie ping. Is this good advice? My neighborhood does allow shooting on large plots of property (over 10 acres).

[KC_Lion]

Ping!

"Try squirting them with hoses, water guns with vinegar water, spray bottles with vinegar water, pepper spray, bear repellant or walking sticks," the guidelines say.

Or just shoot the @#$%ing thing with your handgun.

Coyotes (and wolves) increasing their presence in suburban Milwaukee. Does this advice from New Berlin work?

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

Bear spray? Thirty foot range.

Can't tell you how many times I've had one of those on me.

You could throw a lead ball at them, at 900fps or maybe even faster.

“Try squirting them with hoses....walking sticks”

I’d like to see the mechanics of this.

“The advice involves making as much noise and commotion as possible.”

BANG! is the one “loud noise” they omitted...

Coyotes must still fear the apex predators:

If the coyote does run away,

If it doesn't and starts coming towards you, is it ok to try and run away then? Climbing a tree might work.......

[Graybeard58]

It also says a more aggressive approach might be needed such as throwing sticks, small rocks, cans, tennis balls and rubber balls at them.

Around here, we have something else to bang besides pots.

I guarantee you that the police and animal control USE GUNS to kill animals that pose a public threat, but don't justify use of force as a matter of self-defense.

Rules for thee, but not for me.

[petro45acp]

Aren’t these critters classified a predator/vermin nation-wide? Why wouldn’t it be appropriate (allowing for human population density) to simply zap the them?

Good case for a suppressed .22.....the neighborly thing to do.

Coyotes have killed three small dogs this fall in a close by suburb to New Berlin.

If I was out and a coyote came at me he`d at the very least, get a .380 coming back at him. I bike and hike on the trails in the local parks and follow the shoot, shovel, and shut up philosophy. Wiley Coyote should know I don`t buy ACME products, more like Federal, Winchester, or Remington.

BTW, what some may be seeing could be coydogs. I was hiking in the Cuyahoga Valley Tow-Path Park a few years back and saw a very large coyote looking canine, problem was this creature had a body and coloration not consistent with a coyote or a domesticated dog. I can tell you the animal in question was plenty big enough to pose a real threat if he`d had a mind to.

This morning, just past midnight, I heard a standoff between what sounded like two coyotes and two dogs in the ravine behind my house. It went on for a good 15 minutes, with the coyotes and the dogs alternating barking and yipping at each other in obviously aggressive fashion. It sounded like they were fairly close to one another, and it sounded deadly serious. As much as I wished to help the dogs, it was pitch black and I couldn’t see a thing. I kept listening, afraid I’d hear an injured yelp from either of the dogs. After about 15 minutes, everything went completely silent.

We hear them at times down in the river bottom below our
house. It’s eerie; like a whole herd of women screaming.
They have little baby coyotes with them sometimes. - They
generally are on their way down the river. The howling
keeps on getting far away as they move along.
