I remember when we had to put our cat named "Whiskey" to sleep. He acquired Feline Leukemia....We brought him home in a box, and put him on the counter as we were going to bury him in our back yard.....Our other cat "Precious" jumped on the counter, sniffing and smelling the box.....then she started "yowling"....It was pitiful!....

I can legally do this the way I am doing it now. If a coyote came on my property, I would prefer a .22 magnum, which is very loud, so that isn't an option. It is also a firearm, and I cannot legally discharge a firearm on my property (unless self defense). That is why I recommended a high powered air rifle. It is legal - for me - to shoot an air rifle on my property, as long as the pellet does not leave my property (why I have a backstop).

I have a friend who owns a farm on nearly 200 acres. He can legally discharge a firearm to protect his livestock. However, his wife does not want him owning one (he has bears and two small children). So, I had to "chat" with them both about my area having coyotes.

They have coyotes too. They have been taking his roosters/chickens. His children take hiking trips through heavily forested trails. So, after my chat (it was very friendly) he is getting a .45 and a rifle.

You will never see a coyote until it is right up at you. They are natural predators. They will take small children. They are very smart creatures and know where you are and even study your daily schedule.

Now, a bear will give you some warning. A coyote ... never. They are very deft predators.

That is why I am trying to figure a way for whatdidyousay to defend against a coyote (and it has been mentioned they are there).

I do not blame the coyotes for coming into my yard , they are being forces out their habitat and right into people back yards . this is happening in New Hampshire right now. Some trees where cut down to made a road wider and all the wildlife . coyotes, skunks, etc had only one way to go and that was into people back yards. This is man made problem and the wildlife are paying the price of it with their life. And more kids are bitten by dogs than attacked by coyotes. I have told you you I do not want to kill the coyote that come into my yard . I have seen foxes in my yard too and came face to face with two foxes . It was a male fox and could of attacked me very easily but he just warned to back off . He was with his wife and defending her. I could had touch the fox , that was how close I was to him. I know you should never corner a wild animal , once they feel trapped they'll attack you. My dad told about guy that trapped rat in a corner and the rat jumped up and bit the guy in the neck!

My Uncle David, who lives on farm, always got sheepdogs to protect his sheeps and cows from WOlves and Bobcats. I cannot remember what breed. I think he had Great Pyrenee and Anatolian Shepard Dog. I'll have to ask him. I hope we won't have to get dogs to guard our sheeps out in suburbs. Not saying we've to get sheeps, but it looks like we may have to get one to guard our "sheeps", you know.

My dog is physically fine. There is nothing wrong with his joints, bones, or muscles. He must have had a flashback.
