Coyotes in slidell.

[rhettro]

Coyotes are survival champions. Started reading up on them after one snatched my 15 year old chihuahua right in front of me. Outskirts of gonzales. went on a killing spree. They get real smart once you start putting pressure on them. Doesn't matter if you are not in close proximity to the woods. That little half trot they seem to mostly be doing, I've read that they can keep that pace for hours and hours without stopping while night prowling. Cover many miles.

I've spotted them at the Slidell airport at night, by the Lindberg Glen duck pond, and in Lakewood subdivision, all during nighttime hours, and took a call of a "half-cat" found left behind on a lawn in Lakewood. That's the last three or four years, having never seen them in town before that.

The best solution is to shoot them. In most areas of Louisiana, the downward trajectory from a standing shot on a coyote put the bullet in the ground right behind the coyote after it passes through it. Make sure that you have a safe shot and take it.

This is a Coyote Classic (from AZ). About the only way to protect small pets from these jokers is to keep them inside. Or else.

Yes- they have a fondness of cats.

I've spotted them 5 times in Gretna, twice running down my street at night, twice behind my fence on a canal (one day, one night). They sound in groups loudly often right across the canal which is between the canal and Engineers Road. They scare easily from people so far.

Animal control scooped up a dead one on the bayou liberty bridge today. They're around.

I took this bad picture about 2 months ago in Head of Island on the paper route. I was in the store parking lot putting papers together when it came walking across a well lit big parking lot.

I'd love to see one get withing striking distance of my wolfdog...it would be over quickly, LOL.

Have them (and red fox) in the LSU area. They are very shy and reclusive (which may change with successive generations of cohabitating in suburban areas). I have mixed feelings on the subject.

They don't bother me and we develop into their turf, so I sympathize with their need to survive. More importantly, people's ignorance/foolishness has beckoned them into the neighborhoods: 1. Dogs are pack animals and belong with the pack inside; and 2. "outside cats" are a neighborhood nuisance whose owners are acting as a shitty neighbor, plain and simple. I also believe that small kids should be supervised at all times.

On the other side of the coin, I can fathom these animals becoming more crafty and brazen as the acclimate to humans, necessitating their eradication as they get bolder around kids.

And breeding with dogs.

Wow, that's pretty agile scaling that wall like that.

They will catch and kill/maim your cats, dogs, or a child.
You can not be a liberal panty-wad when dealing with these wild animals.
Kill them all, You have the blessing from the LDWF !
If I lived in the big city I would get a high pressure air gun.

 

[Halcyon00]

Gator has a good point, throw out some food an a good pellet gun should pierce the skull. Or a cross bow like someone else said. If it was a small coyote I wouldn't be so interested but this was about the same size maybe a little bigger than that AZ one if I'm judging the wall and that flower bed right. The bigger ones should def be taken out.


Sent from my ball and chain.

Laplace area seems to be getting worse. Also, I work at a refinery in Norco and the last 3 weeks have been bad. Seeing a bunch during shift change behind the levee by our docks close to the river. Alot of rabits back there....well, there was

 

[Halcyon00]

Lol there was. Just like my area. Was a lot more stray cats. Now very few

filmed by a husband or boyfriend. I could get my gun and.... nah where's my camera this is awesome.

They were really close to the house recently. Neighbor got one going after his chickens a few weeks ago. They were howling like crazy a few nights back. I need to build a little blind in the woods and lure them in.

They've massacred the wild rabbits lately that live close that I've always enjoyed watching. I have a big fear of my dogs getting out or them coming over the small fence that keep my dogs in. (doggie door that allows them to be in or out.)

 

[madwabbit]

are coyotes good for anything once shot?

I know you cajuns will toss anything into a gumbo pot, but otherwise?

Whit,

Make a little pen out of chicken wire about 4x4 ft and high enough where a chicken can't jump out and cover it with a screen. Place that in the middle of an open field just near enough to the wood line so that you can see between it and the pen. Throw some chickens in there (they are cheap), and let the yotes get used to seeing them there. After a few days, take the top off. They will eventually kill the chickens, but they will now come back again.

Then you can go get one of those predator calls with the little rabbit tails on the vibrating stick and set that up near the pen. I guarantee they will come back.

If you wait till after the deer season, I will come and set up with you.
