friends of mine weiner dog got snatched right in front of them 10ft away. yote took off with it never to seen again I carry a 9mm all the time just for events like that. I'm not sure if I can hit a moving coyote but if he stops for a second and I have a good shot that won't hit anything else then I may try to take him out and get my dog back. They are so fast. If you watch the video where the coyote came into the back yard and grabbed the little pet dog it happens fast. If your dog is not on a leash then it may be more vulnerable to an attack. I found out today that a man that lived near the Henderson KY coyote problem I talked about earlier told me that they caught /trapped 14 coyotes out of the area near this group of new homes.

It's amazing to me how fast and tough a wild coyote is compared to a domesticated dog. Wild coyotes have springs in their legs and can run fast. The bound around so easily and can jump pretty high too. Check out google.com and do a search for coyote dogs and see some domesticated dogs trying to run around with the wild coyotes. You can see how much faster the coyotes can run even from some well trained hunting dogs. Regular pets that don't have to hunt their own food are so slow compared to a wild coyote that hunts daily for it's food. On the other hand, there are guys out West (well, West of here) that use dogs to catch coyotes. I guess it all depends on what the domesticated dogs were bred to do. Catching coyotes with dogsAbsolutely hate that these videos are produced. This is exactly what will be the end of running hounds in the U.S. This is the exact reason why there isn't a live coyote market anymore.

And the live coyote market is what helped keep the coyote population down with the low fur prices that we are seeing.

But every idiot wanted to post videos of their dogs fighting coyotes in the pens to show their bravado or whatever. One slip up of a video and even the most moderate judge will pass a law. You run hounds, you know what can happen. Just not something you should publish for the world to see. I have a running pen. Anyone asks, my dogs never caught a rabbit. Just my opinion but I know what I love doing will be ending before my time on this Earth ends. I try to do everything I can to keep it as long as I can.

LIVE trapping of coyotes is still legal today....but there was some changes in the past when INDIANA was the HOT Bed for live coyotes that were moved out of state. Most all illegal activity led back to INDIANA.

Most all illegal activity led back to INDIANA. Live coyote and selling out of state is what he's referring to I'm betting. I know alot of guys shipped them down to Kentucky.
