I DONT HAVE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE TO HUNT COYOTES. THEY ARE ALL AROUND MY HOUSE. THESE COYOTES HAVE NO FEAR OF MAN. THEY HUNT AND KILL A LOT OF SMALL DOGS AND CATS DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS WHICH IS RARE IN MOST PLACES. THEY HUNT IN LARGER THAN NORMAL PACKS AND HAVE KILLED JUST ABOUT EVERY WILD AND DOMESTIC ANIMAL IN THIS AREA. THEY DON'T BOTHER THE LARGE COONS AND BOBCATS BECAUSE THEY GROW TO HUGE SIZES HERE. THE COYOTES FIGURE OUT THE LARGE COONS AND BOBCATS WILL GIVE THEM MORE FIGHT THAN A DOMESTIC CAT OR DOG.
COYOTES ARE DANGEROUS ANIMALS.."TROUBLE" AFTER A COYOTE ENCOUNTER.
I DO NOT HAVE COYOTE DECOY DOGS..MY DOGS DO NOT RUN FROM COYOTES.. THEY RUN AT THEM!
"Monster" and "Trouble"
This coyote is reaching for "Monster", but "Trouble" and one of the Dogos have got him just about shut down.
"Monster" and "Gator"
This coyote is not happy with "Monster" and "Gator", Dogo about to put an end to the madness!
"TURBO" FEMALE GREYHOUND
"Trouble" chocolate patterdale on right is a pup in this picture.
"Trouble" is a grown dog here
WARNING!! THIS IS NOT WHAT THE PATTERDALE WAS INTENDED FOR. But, I use my dogs a lot for hunting and blood trailing coyotes (along with other breeds). Some of these coyotes are already dead when the dogs get there and some are still very much alive. If anyone out there is planning on using Patterdales alone on coyotes...dont try it. The local coyotes will be very happy with you for keeping them well fed and their bellies full of fresh dog. My Patterdales are bred to be very hard. I can't turn them out on their own after coyotes. The Patterdale, in my mind, is one of the gamest of dogs and for that reason the Patterdale does not fear the coyote. My Patterdales will go face to face with a coyote. So, I always have larger breeds of dogs there that can shut a coyote down real quick. Just in case I am unable to take a shot, I need dogs there that can stop the coyote real quick (Dogos help a lot). Many times I have been digging to my terriers in the ground and decided to take a break and looked up to see a coyote within 30 feet of me. The coyotes would come in to the sounds of the fighting. All that stopped once I got the Dogos.
This trail is full of coyote crap. I just talked to a friend on 05-08-09 who had 3 coyotes jump his six foot high fence. The coyotes killed 2 of his poodles. The third poodle is still at the vet with broken ribs and a punctured lung. He said when he heard the noise he turned on the rear yard light and screamed. Two of the coyotes jumped back over the fence with his dogs in their jaws as his kids looked on the third coyote continued working over the last poodle. The last coyote let go of the poodle and jumped back over the fence to join his pack.
Look at the size of those teeth. Coyotes in this area are expert small dog and cat killers.
The coyotes in these pictures are all close to houses and are always eating dogs and cats. They do not fear humans and their numbers are out of control. We have had coyotes attack children playing in parks here in California. I have seen up to 8 large coyotes together in a pack in these hills. Poisons and traps dont work for long, the coyotes are too smart for that. Not very many dogs can stand up to teeth the size of those above.
The pic below shows that coyote work is tough even on big dogs.
The coyote below tried to grab the Dogo by the top of the head but Trouble was fast enough to take his favorite hold.
This coyote had made it into the orchards after being wounded by a farmer. The dogs tracked him down and finished him very quickly.
"Rocket" and "Doba" after a coyote, Dogos are fast but they can not run like a bully lurcher (very few breeds can).

Monster and Gator below.
The female coyote below was very small for this area but still had huge teeth.
