Behold the most effective coyote trap.
Heh/10
Why did we abandon them? It's time to re domesticate coyotes.
As someone who has lost livestock to these little freeloading morons, fuck them out of existence.

Good work
Kek, I've shot 43 coyotes in one night. It's easy to bait and kill em. I prefer using a .223 or 7.62x39 for fast follow-up shots and multiple kills in a single engagement. Using thermal vision with an atv, you can track these fuckers for miles in a night and not give them a chance to rest. Eventually, they give up and basically let you kill them due to exhaustion. Shooting 1 or 2 yotes isn't shit. Once you kill 43 of them and leave the corpses, they start to stay away from your land. It's easy to bag at least 20 - 30 in a night. Go with m855a1 of out a 20in or golden tiger 7.62. Hollow point 7.62x39 is the best but expensive. The Golden tiger and m855a1 out of the 20in basically blows them in half so you can shoot any part of their body as long as it's higher up and closer to the spine. Had a huge problem with coyotes when I first moved out here. Not anymore, though.
Thanks for helping the spread of coyotes. The more you shoot, the better they become
Kek, they ain't coming near me no more, I killed atleast 2 complete packs. Last one booked it and I tracked him for nearly an hour and a half. Put a round through him and haven't seen coyotes since.
I wondered if this was a larp, but now I know it is lmao
Next time don't try to larp as so much of a "badass" that you can track a yote for an hour. You ain't that based, kid
>what is thermal imaging
>what is having an atv
It isn't larping you urbanite gay. These animals kill my chickens and livestock. Spending an hour at night with my friends, drinking beer, and hunting down every last one of these animals is not only a blast but necessary. Coyotes will run for a long, long time after you drop a few of them. Hence the thermal, you have one guy on thermal tracking their retreat while the driver moved in the general direction. Then you drop a few more and chase the rest. My neighbors don't care and know it's me. Everyone in here supporting coyotes is an ubranite gay that doesn't understand the damage they do. They just think they're cute little dog things.
I believe you 🙂
You're a complete fucking moron who has never hunted nor shot a coyote in his life. You think using thermal to track down a pack of coyotes is badass, it isn't. It's called a normal reaction to their presence. I know you're an ubranite retard because you think my posts are me trying to be "badass" when anyone in the country will tell you this. I didn't come up with this plan out of my ass, I helped others clear their lands of coyotes and it was the same tactic. You complete fucking retard.
Anyone who says "kek" shouldn't be allowed to own a gun, much less shoot animals with it
Mass shooting practice, and americans wonder why they have so many of them
Remember: do not trust men who hurt dogs. All canids are practice humans. It’s the first thing you learn to hurt to “be a man” (so you can be ready to kill people).
Mediocre bait, but nice energy
Have you ever been to a place infested with these animals? It is not bait, it happens all the time. You have to hunt and kill their packs. At the end of the night, with 5 dudes, thermal, and a bunch of beer, you can easily kill 20 to 30. I do work for my neighbors around me.
>You have to hunt and kill their packs.
You really don't. They don't hurt livestock unless you're a shepherd with no LGDs. They don't bother cows, they don't bother horses, they are the perfect biological control for rodents in row crop agriculture. The reason why everyone's making fun of you is because how many ovum a female coyote releases during estrus is proportional to the number of return calls she hears when she howls in the evening. So if you go out and schwack coyotes, the ones you don't get (and you'll never get them all), make up the difference in a single breeding season, with litters of up to 16 per female compared to the normal average of 3-5.
Don't get me wrong, I've hunted coyote a few times, and I'll hunt them again if the conditions are right (high fur prices and plenty of free time because work is slow), but shooting coyotes to control their population really only works as part of a management strategy that includes dynamiting their dens and profligate use of poison to the detriment of tons of other wildlife, and is pointless besides, because unless you do pastured rabbits or have a free range kitten mill, there's no reason to shoot coyotes, they're harmless. Shoot coyotes because you want to or because it pays well, don't bother doing it because you think you have to or that you're helping anyone. They're only a danger to Canadian pop stars and unattended Mexican toddlers.
>They're only a danger to Canadian pop stars and unattended Mexican toddlers.
I love coyotes even more now.
Passion dripping from the coyote's eyes
He can taste his blood
And blood never lies
Pale face die
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't kill coyotes
God I want a pet coyote so bad
He gets to pound that coyote cookie daily
have a nice day
No
I agree with that other anons. noose yourself. Your disgusting fetish whether serious or ironic brings down the quality of the entire board.
Its never right to tell someone to end their lives, i expect an apology from both of you
sadly probably not, dog cookie is much bigger than other canine cookies relative to their size and coyotes would be on the small side for a dog
>he doesn't know
Nope 😉
Can you get my temperature plz?
When are yotes gonna replace cats as pest control animals?
How can they do that when cats were never pest control in the first place
In that case releasing coyotes in an urban setting would be even simpler
what are those trees in the back left? they look cool.
They tend to keep to themselves. I've had them run right by me while I'm walking. They are not predators they scavenge and avoid confrontation. They are defensive and the only aggressive coyote is rabid
>cats were never pest control in the first place
shitforbrains/10
Yes, people who get cats for pest control are shit for brains.
It’s right fag. Cats don’t do shit. The pests just hide better and the population grows. Uncontrolled.
What did you expect from an african animal
Anon, don't try to reason with dogeredditors, they'll cope and seethe about cats no matter what the historical record says. They'll grow out of it when they hit puberty, probably.

Coyote pests should be purged in human populated areas. They're fine elsewhere.
>Coyote pests should be purged in human populated areas.
On the contrary, if they introduced coyotes into New York city, they could solve the rat problem in a month. You wouldn't even need that many to remove all the rats as a small group of coyotes would learn to use the subway and could cover more.
Pretty sure in Russia the wild dogs have memorized the buss scheduled and regularly use them. It sounds crazy but it's more realistic than many would dare to admit.
Yeah but how many dudes from /trash/ would drunkenly stumble onto the bus and start hitting on the coyotes? This could be a serious issue.
Coyotes on public transit would also result in a severe decline in violent crime in the cities as well.
The homeless and the coyotes will band together and overthrow society and you know it
good
>introduced
Coyotes are already taking a bite out of the big apple.
We can easily cohabitate with coyotes. I know it seems like coyotes eat cats and dogs a lot, but cats and dogs (especially cats and large dogs) are high-risk prey. There's no way most of them will beat coyote in a fight, but they'll leave coyotes with serious wounds that will get infected and kill them.
Also, cats and dogs should never be left outside unsupervised. If a cat goes outside it either needs to be a contained area or on a leash and harness taken for a walk. If you can't manage this, don't get a cat, or a dog for that matter.
I wouldn’t call cats high risk prey for a coyote. If a coyote can find a cat that’s more than ~10 yards from good cover, the coyote will eat the cat basically every time. Sure, if the cat adopts a defensive stance, and the coyote attacks anyways, the cat might scratch the coyote, but all the coyote has to do is wait and attack when the cat loses nerve and tries to run away, which happens 100% of the time. When a cat can travel and never be further than 10 yards from a tree or whatever, only then are able to travel with impunity through coyote territory.
>Cats are high risk prey
A cuddly, extremely friendly siberian husky with maybe 1/100th a coyote's reaction times and athleticism ragdolls even pretty large cats 10/10 times. They're basically snow labradors. Speaking of labs, labs are husky levels of murderous when it comes to small animals and are the hardest mouthed retriever. Even pretty mean geese and goats are easy prey to them. And these are domestic dogs, again, they are dumber and slower than any wild canid. But, because dogs are more intelligent and social, they are allowed to retain a lot more of their ability since it can be tempered and directed.
Domestic cats are not extremely competent animals. Their bodies are smaller and have shorter legs, their brains are smaller, their threat processing is almost completely absent and they are so inattentive that if a coyote kills another cat that is just outside of their field of vision they don't react. Cat domestication has focused entirely on making them more lazy and inert as to be better pets that are more likely to receive food and care. They aren't serious working animals - their pest control function is essentially gambling on their odor acting as sufficient prevention and their low kill rate hopefully being enough to kill an infestation before they start breeding. It's not super effective but neither is a more wild-like cat, because then the cat is too skittish and aggressive to cohabitate with humans, and because of their low intelligence and lack of sociability, it's a waste of time to try and temper and direct that.
A great deal of domestic cat survival really depends on them sucking at being cats. If someone feeds cats, they will feed lots of cats at once, and drive out ones that attack the other cats or refuse to be pet in order to increase their cat pleasure. Those attack cats are more likely to starve or raise smaller litters. Thus, coyote food reproduces more successfully.
Why are you so obsessed with cats?
>They aren't serious working animals - their pest control function is essentially gambling on their odor acting as sufficient prevention and their low kill rate hopefully being enough to kill an infestation before they start breeding.
idk if I agree. I had a mouse problem in my house until I got a cat, and the cat was a lot more effective than mouse traps at killing them. Within a few weeks we had several dead mice, and now no more mouse problem.
Also aren't cats so good at hunting that stray cats are a significant threat to local ecosystems? I thought they killed millions of birds and small mammals every year and contributed to extinctions in the past, but maybe I'm wrong.
Cats are terrible at hunting pests, because they hunt things that aren't instead.
If you have it confined to a box (your house) it has no choice but to go after whats there.
That's counterproductive when dealing with coyotes. There's not much humans can do about them other than living with them. When a balance is met/maintained they aren't an issue.
Coyotes will continue to do their thing in spite of humans so the only option is understanding. Their legendary status as a trickster animal comes from their ability to BTFO people who try to control them
>Their legendary status as a trickster animal comes from
I've heard coyotes will lure pets away from their owners by pretending to play with them, then they draw them away into an ambush where the pack is waiting for them. Honestly not sure if it's true and can't remember where I heard that.
I can't tell if that's a myth as I've read conflicting information about it. It would be extremely clever if they could do that, and I don't doubt the intelligence of animals. But if coyotes could do this, they'd effectively be one of the only animals capable of intentionally "lying" in a way that's not some kind of innate visual/aural trickery. That would put them in the same league as humans and certain primates, being able to lie with intent via their actions.
Spiders do it routinely, so if something as small and simple as a spider can lie by faking mating taps on a potential prey's web, I see no reason a coyote can lie by faking play to lure potential prey away
I hadn't considered that, that's extremely surprising intelligence coming from any creature of that size. A part of me wants to say "Oh that's just instinct they're not actually thinking" but that's assuming too much. There's still so much we don't know about cognition, especially in bugs.
It's a myth. What happens is typical gun dogs and bulldogs, the ones that are usually off leash in coyote country, are actually really stupid, the obedient personality is a trusting and codependent one where self concern is totally absent, and think a coyote that is clearly not their friend is in fact their friend. They go over to play, the dogs owner thinks the coyote must have invited them, and then 3 more coyotes come out and kill their dog.
The coyotes did not want to play, they were stalking the dog because it was a strange canine on their turf, and the dog was just THAT stupid.
In other news I have an akita who is clearly aggressive towards dogs who come up to him on a leash and retrievers, hounds, etc still assault him trying to play, even after he snarls and snaps. he never actually bites them, and they're not meant to be off leash, so he's always in the clear but those dogs are really fucking stupid. REALLY stupid.
Nah, when a coyote intentionally lures a dog, 100% of the time that coyote is really horny. If they want to eat a dog they can go attack a small one.
I wonder, why snarling is a sign of aggression/play in dogs, while in wild canids it's just a general form of communication that can mean many different things?
I have met collies, huskies and german shepherds that would snarl for various reasons like that coyote. Maybe your dog is just dumb so they communicate less.
How are they pests? They hunt pests and are very unlikely to hurt people.
>inb4 muh kitty
Supervise your pet
>inb4 muh doggy
Supervise your pet
Was that hard?
Just give them all rabies vaccines.
Don't got a dog, haven't owned one in a while but I do get to interact with them regularly. Most of them dumb as bricks, but they're sweet. Incidentals, German Shepherds, huskies, and collies are the dogs I've interacted with the least.
He must been enjoying it. He giving the guy big smiles.
Roundtable is a pizza chain
I wanna believe this is real because its so cute to imagine someone accidentally kidnapping a coyote and aggressively making it a pet because they think its just a weird looking mutt.
Especially since Coyotes are basically just kinda big dogs with a particularly violent streak
Confirmed hoax (not really a hoax per se it's just a funny throwaway image).
coyotes must have populations on six continents
I will not rest until it is so
I am pretty sure the other continents have their own canids that occupy similar niches to coyotes, like dingos in Australia or jackals in Africa, southern Asia, and SE Europe. Would be interesting to see how coyotes do in say northern Europe though - would be amusing to release a few dozen breeding pairs in the UK. Would be a great test location, as it is an island.
>release a few dozen breeding pairs in the UK
The UK has a problem with invasive Eastern Gray Squirrels. I think the coyote could be the solution they need
>invasive species
yes, and coyotes are the solution!
Are you also mentally retarded like me? You ever hear of invasive species. Those other continents have their own canids like this anon

YOTE PRIDE
WORLDWIDE,
BABY
Humans should be culled in areas with a thriving coyote population to keep the coyotes safe
coyotes must be protected at all cost
