Sounds rough all around. I am glad that Titus seems to be improving, and I wish you luck in eradicating the Coyotes. Congrats on killing the first one, now kill a bunch more.

Hey jwsrabbit, I have an Evol 30 on the way for those stinking things. I want you to know that there was recently a thread on here about naming your guns. I don't do that. Till now. The name of the Evol will be "Titus" in honor of your best friend. I'll let you know when he strikes. Take care of your loved ones.

Do not leave the dead yote. It is only an additional food attractant. It is more protein for the yotes. They will eat a dead yote body in a heart beat.
On a side note, it is advisable to place an electric fence at least around the quail pen if not around the whole yard. I raised quail for years & quickly learned from the school of hard knocks to use an electric fence.to keep ground predators from approaching the poultry areas. Just place it far enough away that the birds won't be spooked & place the rows of wire close together. I had mine to a height of five feet with the wire rows placed about 3 inches apart and down to within a couple inches of the ground. This will keep out smaller predators including damn house cats.

I simply can’t imagine the scenario you painted! The fact that your wife was right there and they had the boldness to attack, I’m damn near speechless.
Was there a light on? I’m just wondering for my own knowledge.
My office is out in the country. Every time I let Penny out at night, I step out on the steps and I yell at the coyotes and raccoons to go away…It’s made me feel kind of like an ass on some occasions, now I feel smart.
A few years ago, before Penny, I went out to my car at night with a flashlight, and stumbled upon a raccoon, a big one. He snarled at me. I slowly walk the 10 feet back to the door, grabbed the pest eliminator - which happens to be a shotgun, and he doesn’t snarl anymore
There are some really good inexpensive semi auto 22 Magnum’s on the market right now. It’s what I carry now when I go for a walk in case we run into a raccoon.
so glad Titus is doing well! Can you shoot him some kind of a bird snack? Lots of protein in one of those, and if I remember correctly he loves them.
I’ve had opportunities in the evening where they’re at the deer carcass. I use a 12 gauge pump with buck shot. 3 inch magnum‘s. Maximum shock and awe.
I’ve baited them effectively with squirrels. I use one of those big long spike nails about 12 inches long and drive it into the ground through the squirrels body. If you put a game camera out you will watch them trying to runoff with the squirrel.
If she would shoot it, I would be very tempted to give my wife a single shot 410 for bathroom duty….And yell go away coyotes! When you walk out the door.
Your story freaks me out.

Ill get pics it is 0 outside now I didnt film shots , I had left carcass like some said to detour them but I think thats what had got into the meat on them , when i go outside if it warms up Ill take pics and post here we got them salted and drying out now , My body cant handle this weather I got rods in my back a medal femur ,fake hip and 1 lung after a poisoning so cold is not my friend , Colleen had to do it for me , she learned from a child how to skin , Her dad was from upstate NY and was a trapper by trade and she learned how to do this and is alot better then me even skinning say squirrels , Her dad taught her in 1970s and in college she took a anthropology class and had to make a primitive tool like the cavemen did out of slate , she is a real trooper
update here is pics of the 2 I got , I had colleen flip pelts to show you guys , The larger one was one which was trying to chew threw steel fencing to get at the quail ,
BOY Titus came to life when he saw them furs he hobbled over barking and took holld of one of them , It made me smile he still has a bit of fight left in him

My state decided that we needed coyotes where there have been none for a long time. Now we don't have quail anymore and dogs bark all night long because the coyotes are yapping in the woods all around them. Took a real brainiac to come up with that idea.

@jwrabbit123 Good shootin!! The colors on the second pelt look great. I still laugh at how Titus will grab a hold of the yotes. Good to hear that he’s still acting like himself. 0 degrees? And I thought I was cold in the 20s.

Aside from your dog getting hurt bad and your good lady put in danger, I gotta say I am a little jealous of your situation.
I have Rabbit, woodpigion, squirrel, starling and rats, on my ( legal ) hit list, dead scary ( sarcasm )
The thought of having to protect the old homestead from a pack of wild animals has a ( probably imaginary ) romantasim around it.
I honestly believe I would enjoy the task,
I have probably watched to many old time movies.
Good luck.

You don't have an exclusive club. Unfortunately politicians rule the conservation/wildlife department of their state & control the legal decisions & policy. The conservation/wildlife staff is then left biting their tongue & shaking their head at stupid decisions but must administer these decisions & policies. Years of education, training, wildlife observation/research, & experience by the conservation/wildlife staff is thus ignored. We all have seen it & live with the consequences. Sad.
