ImUrOBGYN Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I know I've said this in another similar thread, but I really feel if you can't come up with an alternative to killing a wild animal, then I feel you haven't really exhausted your options and really want to kill it or you're just too damn stupid or lazy to come up with something that works. Of course, this is my personal opinion and I'm aware that occasionally there are times this may be the only choice. These times are pretty damn rare and unlikely to occur here. I DO speak from experience having spent many years of my life living WAY out in the woods. We're talking not even a paved road for miles. I've had more than my fair share of various wild animals interacting both with me and my many animals - chickens, goats, horses, rabbits, etc. You can fend shit off without killing it. It just takes the proper approach, respect and time. If you really want to kill something, kill some of those deer you see. We now have a serious overpopulation issue due to our culling of "dangerous" predators. They're also increasing the risks of tick borne disease to a calamitous level.

We have a worse overpopulation of coyote. They are open season with no limit year round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I've never seen one up close around my house in Lewis Center, but I have heard them call out to there buddy's it was dinner time. I would would either get my 22 long rifle out or bring out my Mosin-Nagant for something longer range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewtoys Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I've spotted pumas and foxes in my backyard, and have never thought about harming them. I also have a tiny 7lb dog (ex gf dog) that roams free in the backyard when he wants to go out, he will figure things out �� You peopl are crazy talking about killing a wild animal in the wild....

RedRocket1647545505 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 There's an open season on yotes for a reason. I'd kill it just to kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast5gp Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I still say that if you have 3 dogs that can't kill a coyote, then you better dogs, maybe real dogs.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I still say that if you have 3 dogs that can't kill a coyote, then you better dogs, maybe real dogs.. lol Lol, that's part of the problem, they WILL attack it. Two of our dogs have already killed two groundhogs and a raccoon in the backyard. The third and smallest dog, would just avoid it anyway. I don't really want the dogs fighting coyotes in the backyard, the vet bills that would be forced upon me by my old lady just for "checkups" would be ridiculous ! Lol much more than one round of lead. For those who "can't believe we would kill a wild animal", I won't kill/harm an animal just for the hell of it, but if it's for food/safety or sometimes just general nuisance, I won't think twice.

Troy2285 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I kill or at least try to kill everyone i see. This one was shot on a hunt last winter.Came into a call, wounded with at .17, finished him with the 9mm lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjxlr8 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Poison is a terrible idea for many reasons. Just scare it off with some loud noises or act aggressive towards it. It's not going to stick around if your dogs are outside...unless maybe they are the size of a rabbit. Even then the dogs are usually more aggressive and will scare it off. I have coyotes (sometimes a pack!) in my backyard and they don't bother anything except the rabbits. My brother had one that made a den under his shed in the Beechwold area. He called animal control and they said they couldn't do anything about it. My cousin ended up shooting it with an arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are bobcats common here? My parents live in CT where the population has almost been wiped out but has begun to recover, and they have a few foxes and bobcats that live in the area around their house (they're on a large hill near a state park).
