On my ranch in a Northern California forest I lost 6 dogs, 4 cats and 40 prize goats. I trapped, called and had a neighbor dump his pig butchering guts out a hundred yards from my bedroom window and I nailed 26 coyotes. My small yorkie female was not bothered and twice at night she stood off two mountain lions that were holding my cat in their mouths. I saw three pairs of eyes in the dark calculated where the rear of the lion was and sent him a load of buckshot and they screamed off into the night until their screams faded into the distance. I sewed up a hole in the side of the cat and the second time his meow came out the hole in his throat.. It took three of us with towels to hold him down but hafter that he went psychotic screaming constantly so we had to put him down. A 6mm Remington with a 90 grain 3,000 fps load did wonders on a coyote. I got the first Mtn Lion Kill permit after a long hiatus in California after I shot a lion in my front yard with his jaws around the throat of a goat. The permits were only allowed in the state in the 70's after a child was killed.
