When coyotes attack.

I don't understand why someone would keep calling the coyote back. That kind of behavior is likely to get someone else hurt since it teaches the coyote not to be afraid of people.
 
I don't see the need to shoot it... yet.

But, I definitely would have given it a swift kick to scare it, rather than just yelling. (And it wouldn't have been chewing on my boot...)
 
Those things are causing some havoc where I live. If that had been me, I'd have shot it on priciple alone, damn a trash dog.
 
I think he had one to many beers, Eh?

Seriously, espescially since I like my kids to be able to play in our yard that thing would have been dead. I have several that have come near my yard more frequently in the past 2 yrs and I hope to be posting pictures of them along with whatever I used to shoot them.
 
Coyotes are a problem in my area...

... and, one of my dogs is a 9lb Jack Russell.

Any coyote I see on my property is a 4-legged target, assuming the right direction (I have a lot of good backstop on property; there are only a few dangerous areas for a shot).
 
I must agree.....he taught that thing a lesson that may well not work out good for someone.

That said I'll admit that I would have found the interaction VERY interesting.
 
He was hitting a rabbit squeaker in the begining of the video, he has been feeding that dog. If you notice the dogs tail wagging the entire time. He has been slowly over a period of time, training the dog to play and eat from him. Kind of reminded me of "dances with wolves."

Very agile animal, very stupid cameraman.

The animal's fate (through his interaction with a human) may be sealed by this idiot.
 
it the camermans pet the yote is way to fat and it coat has been combed plus he wistles it back to him like a dog

its just a well trained pet
 
At that range the Ruher Mark III-22LR would do a nice job. At that time of the year the hide looks pretty good and light-more valuable.

What a dumba55.
 
I don't claim to know the whole story behind that video, but that's certainly not "typical" behavior for a coyote. Might be spending too much time in close proximity to people, or there might be something wrong with it.

It appears to be healthy, though.

I'd have shot it; period. A wild animal that loses it's fear of man can eventually become a problem, and that one definitely shows the potential.

The guy filming it isn't the sharpest marshmallow in the bag, that's for sure.

BINGO!!!! He even says so if you watch the whole video. Contrary to what you might believe coyotes make some of the best dogs Ive ever seen, skunks too.

Actually, coyotes usually DON'T make good pets. Their wild instincts usually keep them from ever becoming truly tame...and from becoming too attached to their "owner".

That's what I've read from several sources, anyway, and it's supported by what I've seen of cross-breeds between coyotes and dogs. I've never seen it in the wild, but I've seen litters of dog-pups that showed coyote "markings". My mother had one some years back, and she never could even get very close to it. Finally had to have it put down, and it was never "tame".

ACTUALLY I probably would have shot that one before he became a movie star!;) I wont take that kinda action from a wild animal. That;s the kind that'll follow school kids until they can attack them.:(:eek:
