    Yep, we got em here too. The last couple of weeks I’ve been woken up by a pack going nuts from what sounded like my front yard… And like BMills I’ll run into a random one when I’m walking my dogs in the Bosque…. My Golden goes berserk, but idk how he would fare in a straight up fight, seeing as how he prolly has TBI from jumping out of the goddamn moving car as a pup…. Good luck steal, I am not a fan of those things.

    I don't know why I'm posting like this is a serious topic, but here goes. If you're trying to chase a griz away, bird bombs and bean bags work great out of a 12 ga. Despite being just about the toughest critter out there, bears are remarkably adverse to sound and pain. If you get repeat offenders, they'll soon associate just the sound of a shotgun racking to bad noise and a bruise in the ass and move out fast.

    For black bears, bird/snake shot out of a .22 in the ass works great. If you're in a more urban area with pissy neighbors, blunt tip arrows in the side will get the message across quick without the noise of a gun going off.

    Frozen paintballs shot at a bears ass work pretty well too...er so I've heard. We had 2 packs of yotes yipping at each other on my jobsite last week and a wolf sighting. I could give 2 fucks but I did think twice about letting the 4month old puppy roam around. He is a rez dog from Rocky Boy though so he might have a knife I don't know about..

    Our rez dog is a shepinois mix, came out of Pine Ridge. Good thing he got out as a puppy because he's the biggest baby in the world. He wouldn't have lasted very long. Our rez cat came out of Wolf Point, and she's a tough little girl.

    The dog has a good bark, though. He alerted us to a coyote last year I really wish I could have shot. That fucker killed two sheep at a neighbor's place not far away.

    yeah so i went out with the dogs each time last night. heard some loud rustling relatively close past the treeline on the first excursion and let off a slug. didn't hear anything on subsequent ventures with the dogs but i did hear the pack yapping around 4 this morning, albeit a lot farther away than the night before. figure the full moon on top of mating season has them at peak activity.

    and LLS, i bet if your pup could get across to any yotes that he is from Rocky Boy, they wouldn't fuck with him. major street cred. you can take the dog out the Rocky Boy, you can't take the Rocky Boy out the dog or something like that.
    swing your fucking sword.

    Gazex should look into this potentially HUGE untapped market.

    school me on coyote management/extermination

    My neighbor in SF takes pot shots at them from his second floor if they wander below his deck

    The rest of the neighborhood would lose their minds if anyone hurt a poor coyote. I don’t go out of my way but am ok w anyone thinning them out

    They were everywhere where I was a kid and we heard nightly howls and lost a lot of cats to them. I wouldn’t be bothered if a few got expelled from the city. The orange grove care takers would shoot at them (and us kids sometimes) w shotguns loaded w rock salt

    Use a solar powered motion sensor to trigger a light and sprinkler, if you can figure out how to add a noisemaker of some sort that would be cool. I saw one in a stupid FB video from some guy that has too much time.

    Buy one of those Foxpros or a similar electronic call. They are generally super active this time of year and should respond well. They also have full coats, which make them look bigger.

    Dig in and show no quarter. They're the asshole of the animal world and deserve to die.

    Firecracker 12g rounds will be far more accurate.

    This is the way, they will learn quick.

    When we used to slaughter hogs, if we did more than one in a day we would often have to let a half hang outside over night to butcher the next day. It was pretty easy to figure out which drainage the coyotes were hanging out in and a shell or two of buckshot with the sound bouncing off the walls would keep them away.

    YMMV, we always had a Pyrenees or two with us.

    But a far less chance of a hilarious mishap.

    Have you tried not feeding them? There's lots of coyotes around here. As in I occasionally see them and often hear them. Only recent problem I've heard of (someone got bit), the neighbors were feeding them. That'll turn any wild animal into a pest.

    If they are pests, what's your local vector control say about it? They'll know which methods work best n your area.

    Ok fair enough, valid point.

    If hilarious chaos is the goal, may I suggest model rocket engines taped to hot wheels cars? They begin their flight by simply being a jet powered car, rolling along the ground at increasingly velocity till they lack the downforce to remain on the ground at which point all bets are off in terms of direction, while velocity as well as a loud screaming hiss, are guaranteed. This allows you to aim the car to an area other than the one you are in, at which point, it will go all over the fucking place and perform area denial anti access functions with great zeal and unpredictability for a couple seconds.

    I of course, would never be so stupid as to try such a thing. but I've seen it done.

    We have 2 hanging around the golf course. They ran at my wife and dog while I was out of town. The validity of that event is never to be questioned, but that is how it was reported. I have never seen them.

    Synthetic Wolf Piss is a thing, apparently. Me and the neighbors are doing a group buy.
