Maybe she should invest in a good stag hound or grey hound, or both. It would be cheaper than a fence, and they would protect her yard better than yip dogs ever will. It would be like setting traps, that chase 'em, then bite 'em and kill 'em, too. As long as the dogs are good, and they aren't out numbered, they would do the trick.

RE: NY Coyote Nabs Fido From Backyard
any time i hear a story of coyote problems in penfield it makes me chuckle.you see there this huge swamp,1000 acers surrounded by devolpment.the coyotes have been in there for a long time and unless you own 5 acers or more boardering it,its unhuntable.i once ask a game warden where the bigest population of coyote is,he said well number 1 is the northern zone,number two is penfield.i personaly think they should organize the first annual 1000 acer swamp predator contest and be done with the problem,but that will never happen.in the mean time folks living there had better keep fefe the cat and fido the dog in the house <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: NY Coyote Nabs Fido From Backyard
I have to dissagree. I know for a fact that if a yote wanted to take a little kid or baby, they can do it and im sure it has been done before. This topic is just like saying that black bears wont come after a human. Now what about the baby, that was in New York and was killed???? What about that? Everyone said you dont have anything to worry about, then this happens. Anything can happen. Why do they say to hunt with two people for yotes when your hunting on the ground?? Probably because someone has been attacked before by a yote. Just like the attacks on america. The top dogs said it could never happen..... look what happened??? I'm just saying that anything is possible. You scare a yote, he just might attack you. If he is hungry enough, he WILL TAKE A BABY OR LITTLE CHILD. Why is it the dogs fault?
Just because you hate small dogs doesnt mean its the dogs fault. Its out fault. We made them do this and everyone knows it. I think instead of killing them, they need to hire a skilled trapper and relocate the animals. Just so you know, Im not an animal rights activist, I just dont think killing the yotes will solve the problem. Give them another chance, we took their space, now give them their space back....

I thought about doing that. Im a licensed trapper year round in Kentucky. I dont know if they would allow me to do it. But I guess they think they know what they are doing.......yeah right

I used to do it full time with my buddy but since then, he got married and I'm in college. But I still resign every year just incase I get a close call. Last year I had a rattle snake job to do. Turned out to me a black snake.
