[QUOTE="popeye, post: 1678434, member: 82319"] Anytime you shoot at a coyote and he makes it out alive, he has been educated. I live in the county and every spring when the cows calve, the coyotes show up. They will eat a calf any chance they get. This past spring, inside of two months, I shot and killed 5 coyotes from my back deck area. That doesn't count the ones that I killed while calling or trapping during the winter. Every year I kill several this way and have killed several doubles while they were eyeing the calves. I think you have to consider that for every one you see there are many more that you haven't seen. The one that got your dog may not be the one that you see next. KILL THEM ALL. Coyotes have excellent vison, hearing and sense of smell, that is part of what makes them so challenging and fun to hunt. My favorite coyote cartridge is the ole .243 using Nosler 70 grain. I haven't had a coyote take one step when I do my part. When I use the .223 with Hornady 55grain V max I have had them run a little way before dying. Unlike some of these guys the farthest I have killed a coyote at is about 380 yards. JMHO stay away from the poison, you don't want to accidently kill a neighbors pet. Leg hold traps are an option if your familiar with trapping but then again think twice if you have neighbor dogs running the area. Check and follow your local game laws. Take it as a challenge and use it to educate yourself about the coyote and what works best in your area. [/QUOTE]
