Time for Wile E to meet the ACME .223?

[2aBaC̶a̶]

Just need a valid hunting license in Ohio. Day/night/suppressed - all good with minor restriction on times around deer gun season.

Been looking at Super Hogster or Yoter. Threads like this just cost me money.

Do you need a hunting license to defend your family from a coyote?

If any game warden issues...
It snarled at me.
I feared for my life and my children's lives.
They cannot dispute either since they were not there.

Kill that MF next time he shows up. This is a rabid coyote at someone’s back door.
I hope this link works.

You don't have to play the 'What about the children' card.

Game warden buddy shot a rabid 'yote that was laying under his truck in his driveway. He shoots them on sight anyway.

He also does AR mag dumps into hog packs (sounds). He said 'Fuc'um.'

I would prefer not to kill the coyote

Does not compute

This is Massachusetts, so game and gun laws are strict, but there are provisions for taking an animal that the land owner deems a nuisance. I did some reading last night. At night we're restricted to .22 LR for hunting, assuming that applies to nuisance animals as well. Daytime, no restrictions on caliber. Suppressors are an absolute no no, can't even get a tax stamp. I wouldn't even try with a 22 LR. Fortunately, my town is gun friendly and nobody would even notice or care about a 223 or 308 shot after dark.

I saw it again this morning at 4:30 when I let the dog out, but only briefly before it jumped into the woods. I said I didn't want to shoot it, not that I wouldn't. Given the feedback on my concerns, I'll kill it next chance I get. Seems odd to stand over watch so my dog can take a shit, lol. And for the record, even thought it's Massachusetts, no man bun here . Thanks for all the feedback.

You get a lot of leeway with killing coyotes in MA.

I'm not up on the laws but former co worker killed lots of them.

.22 will do the job but if you can get him to show in the day you can use centerfire.

Misunderstood me. They're not a protected species in a lot of states, you don't need any "qualified reason" to legally take them, just shoot them.

 

[Jim Out]

So I let the dog out last night after dinner to do his business (85 lb German Shephard). It was dark and as usual, I shined the field behind the house for critters that he may want to chase and saw a few deer way out near the tree line (14 acre field). I let him go and he proceeded to his usual spot about 50 yds from the house to go #1 and then move about 25 yds parallel to the house to go #2. Mid #2, his head snaps around so I shine the light and see a coyote looking at him from about 50 yds away from his position. I watched the coyote and he started to trot towards my Shephard. I called my guy and he came back to the house. For the next 5 minutes, I watched the coyote mark both spots where my guy had gone, roll in his #2 and generally sniff and mark the entire area. I stood on the patio watching and at some point yelled at the coyote to get lost. At this point, he started trotting towards me. He stopped about 25 yds out, actually on the lawn and then proceeded to slowly trot parallel to the house and ultimately into the woods, marking a few more spots on the way. He was good sized, almost as big as my Shephard although with a full winter coat, probably looked a lot bigger than it actually was. I hear them occasionally at night when they find a meal but only see them on occasion crossing the field and never close to the house when there is any activity going on. This one was very close to the house, lingered for quite a while and showed no fear of the dog or me and that concerns me. Particularly since I am not the only one that lets the dog out. It could be my wife or kids and he does not listen as well to them. Also, where there's one... I would prefer not to kill the coyote but I also don't want to worry about the dog or family when I'm not home. Shooting isn't an issue as there is nothing but woods behind me for at least a mile and I can't see any of my neighbors. I'd be interested in thoughts on the coyote's behavior and if my concerns are justified? I attached a photo of the back yard. The dog was further out than the deer and the coyote came in from the left.

MI doesn't require a license on private land for the land owner or "designee". A basic license is required elsewhere.

Night hunting is allowed, albeit with some silly rules concerning maximum caliber. Anything under .270 is allowed; go ahead and blast with a 6.5 PRC if you wish, but a 350 Legend is illegal at night

KILL HIM

I would test the close range bore to dot offset on my pistol with that thing

Fuck that, I'm checking my 75yd holdover.

 

[TexPatriot]

I stand corrected!

All my life we have seen dogs (road kill) take months to disappear while crows and buzzards would pass them up.

Curious as to why we had not seen an exception.

Carry on smartly.

There was a myth like that floating around when I was in high school started by the maintenance man, a local hillbilly, hunter and river rat. He said buzzards didn't feed on deer, that they were 'too sweet.'

It wasn't long when we saw he was some old dufas that was full of shit.

 

[hollowoutadime]

This thread costs me money. Just bought a Super Yoter. Of course that means I'll probably end up with a Grendel, 6.8, or .260 Never ends.
Hope the OP got that 'yote.

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

That Yote was being dominant. Definitely get rid of him.
