Ya know they stop yipping when you shoot them...

When coyotes make the mistake of coming onto our property the only thing we want them to do is come within firing range. Ofcourse its more of a precaution for our horses and such than because of the noise.But it gets rid of them all the same.Like you said, joys of living in the boonies.*shrug*;)

Its kinda a no fire zone and one of the local detectives is the neighbor right behind me... and the little bastages come thru his pasture where he has horses. I think I need more silent means but I got rid of my compound bow a few years back.[:/]

You live in the country but its a no fire zone? WTF?That sucks!

I guess I'm just used to the way we do things in TX. As long as its your property and you live outside the city limits its legal to discharge a firearm.


Well, good luck with the little bastages.Might I suggest an investment in good earplugs since your area has some idoitic views towards your 2nd amendment rights?;)

There are several less lethal methods for deterring them from being around your property.

If you have the means, you can place motion-sensitive lighting on those areas of your property where they enter and exit. Since they tend to shy away from bright lights, that's one way to start shooing them away.

In addition to the lights (or instead of them, if you can't provide the lighting option) soak many rags in ammonia and place them along the edges of your property, again, where they enter and exit. Since the ammonia will dissipate rapidly, you'll have to soak them again each day and put them back out.

Do these two for a week, consistently, and you may see a decrease in their activity in your area.

You can also put a portable radio out where they enter your property and leave it running at night. They aren't fond of that either.

Most places have provisions (read..exceptions) for shooting nuisance animal. My dad lives in a no shooting municipality but we're still allowed to blast the groundhogs that destroy his garden. You may want to check on it.

I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

Let the Mastiff go out and play I'm sure it would turn into a scuffle pretty quickly. We had some that came around my property hunting for little domestic dogs. My shepherd ran out and beat the shit out of one and they never came around (at least my house) after that. :)

Check with your local game officer and he can tell you what you can do within the no-shoot limits. Then let the detective know that you are going to pop a couple of them (he might want to observe for safety).

Yes and No. Depends on size and if they are in a pack. From what I have seen, most coyotes will hunt / scavange alone. But sometimes they do hunt in packs. If you have a medium to large size dog, it can take one one-on-one, but it probably will not last if a pack teams up.

If it's an actual wolf, then that is a different problem all together.

This was actually in a city setting too. But there is a forested area that is near by and the coyotes would come in every now and then to find food (little house dogs that were outside) My neighboor had his little dog attacked) Luckily the little guy was a scrapper and they heard the noise and ran out and scared the coyotes away.

Generally the coyotes hunt in packs but there were only two and my shephered weighs 100 pounds were as coyotes are usually medium size dogs. 50 pounds or so. So no my dog wooped ASS.. ;)

Its a residential area with LARGE lots but still houses around and truthfully I dont mind not having people shooting in THEIR back yards...although I could return fire quite well thanks.


I do have motion sensor ligts.. no effect on them.

I also thought about letting Bear out to play but 3 on one.. I am sure they would get in SOME bites and then its a trip.. expensive trip to the vet... and who know if they might have rabies or something else I dont want my baby to get.

Maybe they would just eat the dayum gophers while they are out there.

My grandparents full sized GSD (100ish lbs) that was a working farm dog could easily take on 3 of them at a time if then happened to venture into the farm yard to get the chickens. As soon as you hear the fight though you run out with the gun because the last thing you want is a good farm dog injured especially one that could herd as good as Klink could.

I have a 65 lb Belgian Shepherd and I'd put my money on him in a heartbeat if he got into it with one maybe two coyotes. I know he would definately scare them away since most coyotes are after food and not a fight. Like someone else said though, wolves are a different story.

thats good to know. ya as soon as I heard the fighting I thought my dog was killing a neighboors dog. i ran out started yelling for him. Fighting stopped and here he comes prancing up. Like i did good huh! tail wagging ya wolves are badasses but if it was only one I'd still put my money on Natas. ;)

Uhmmmm, Rookie, that is not a smart thing to post on a public board.
Amazon, you can stick a potato on a 22 and get the same result and you also get french fries to go along with those coyote burgers;)

Only reason I asked was cause I knew a guy named Chris with a GSD named Natas from there so I was just wondering if the world got a little smaller. :D

I got Sherpa almost 7 months ago and it has been a trip, I've never laughed so hard, been so proud, or wanted to strangle a dog more. From what I hear that means he has the correct temperment for a "Malinut". :P:D:D:D

Oh and not only can he carry his own weight he likes to help around the house. :ph34r:

Congratulations! You just confessed to a crime which can earn you up to 10 years in prison. You better hope the BATF isn't watching this thread...



Isn't that a state by state issue? I know silencers are legal in AR

You need a federal "tax stamp" to have a suppressor anywhere in the US. Some states may not allow them, though. The same applies to full-auto machine guns. I think the feds just do a background check, then take your money. The tax applies to just that one supressor, which then cannot be transferred to anyone else without a paper trail. The buyer would need to apply to the BATF to buy it from you.
