Didn’t/Don’t you also keep a llama to protect your critters from ‘yotes?

That's kicking ass.

Have you considered domesticating the ‘yotes and training them to guard the property and work the land?

Cleo loves playing with Rocky on the weekends. During the week she’s a ranch dog and a cold blooded killer.
She’s killed three coyotes so far.

And there ya have it! Gotta love the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'ness of the breed. They're so big and fluffy, and SO adorably sweet and chill with the farm animals but coyotes? A whole different beast comes out of them and they do NOT hold back. Fearless! I've since learned why they lounge around sleeping all day. It's because they've been running around all night long kicking ass and taking names. Cool thing is since the guard dogs have been staking their claim all over the place the way that dogs do, that's been a deterrent as well I'm sure. A coyote's a fool if he's gonna ignore those scents and come into their turf.

And to the aforementioned, absolutely! Toss a donkey or llama into the mix and those coyotes are pretty well screwed.

Trappers around here have pretty much gone to noose traps where there are holes in fences. Pretty effective.

That hadnt even crossed my mind. Certainly something on the long term horizon but for now I’ll be resorting to the abundance of local methheads to stand watch. Much like yotes, they can be unruly but, when trained properly, make excellent guardians and companions.

I posted about it in the wildlife thread but I’ve been seeing this guy/gal and a few of their young ones on my nightly dog walks around the neighborhood park - in the middle of the damned city. They’re curious and follow me and my 43lb Border Collie, but generally stay 40 yards away. Being urban yotes I know they’re not afraid of shit so I try and make noise when I’m approaching the wooded parts of the neighborhood.

Buddy a block over caught them on his doorbell cam sleeping on his porch when it got cold the other week.

I saw some small dog (cockapoo or something) got out of his yard the other night on my walk. I tried to lure him in as I saw he had a collar but he just ran - hope he didn’t end up as dinner.

Around here they ebb and flow. They can be s real problem for livestock breeders.

Washington has no restrictions on killing them as they are considered a nuisance species. Some people do it themselves and others call in state wildlife trackers to do the job.

I just live with it. Lost a lot of barn cats. I do lock the cats up in the hayloft at night now but honestly most of the ones I've lost have happened during the day.

My malamute used to run with a pack of coyotes at night. He was part of the pack. One or two would join us on our hikes in the morning. Some nights I would wake up to 10 or so Coyotes in the yard with the dog. I could walk out into the pack grab him and bring him inside, never any aggression towards me or the dog. I never felt afraid of the pack they just accepted me being part of the dog I guess. When my dog died, a lone coyote visited my house everyday for a solid month after, I would got out and great her/him and they would just wait patiently, wondering where my dog was. Now that I typed that I realize this in no way helps you with your issue. I used to be in the camp of shooting nuisance coyotes but after that experience I've shifted more to live and let live. Whatever you decide, good luck, and keep the dogs safe.

When my wife and I lived in the Hollywood hills, the coyotes were pretty brazen. They lived a pretty easy life with little consequence for their behavior. Every few months or so a pack would come into our little section of canyon making all kinds of racket. And always a couple days later the "lost cat" signs would start going up on the telephone poles in the neighborhood.

Lulz. That's one bad ass ass.

They are survivors. When pack size declines females start dropping more pups per litter. I’m convinced the only creatures remaining after the Apocalypse will be cockroaches, coyotes, Cher and Keith Richards.

Yeah, Janet Reno. She was fired after I watched her casually observe a coyote talking a lamb while she was grazing 40 yards away.

Ok, that's incredibly cool.

Hell of a story. Thanks for sharing.

yeah this is cool as hell. i'd love to make friends with the pack but given the bad introduction last night and territoriality of 2/3 of my dogs, i don't see it happening.

I'm your guy for coyote war strategies. Baiting is illegal in a lot of states so I'd be really careful on that. And you'll never eradicate them. Your best bet is to educate them to stay away from your area.

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.

our regs are wide open except in the counties where yotes and red wolves overlap but that ain't here. bought a cheapo .22 pellet gun for if they wanna fuck around. bought some buckshot if they wanna find out. would really rather not kill one though.

i've read that going after yotes hard will ultimately lead to more coyotes. they recognize less coyotes are in the area and will breed earlier/larger litters... although im not sure how much truth there is to that.

100% correct. The United States government and private interests waged a systematic century-long campaign to eradicate them and didn't succeed. Like Rev said, all you can do is harass them enough to get them to move somewhere else. Zero sum game.

Could you leave the dogs inside and dress as a wolf and try to become one of the pack?
