Coyote wanted chicken for lunch.

This morning I had a coyote that wouldn't leave. I have 2 acres of my 8 fenced in, and my coops are inside that fence. My three dogs keep most predators at bay. This morning a coyote would move off as my dogs were going ballistic patrolling the fence. Started to rain and the dogs wanted back in the house. Within a few minutes, that yote was at the fence line pacing back and forth. Let the dogs out and they chased it away. Played this game 3 more times. Coyote lost the last round, she has been eliminated.
Usually, they move on and I'm fine with that. Not this one.

Fox are doing the same thing right now. They are feeding pups/kits and are hunting hard.

Yep. This was a female, and was full of milk.
I'm sure I'll get some flack from some on here. They can judge me all they want.

No flack from me. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

My dogs just chased off a coyote this morning. Took multiple chase efforts to make it move on. I'm so sick and tired of predators at the moment. It's a daily struggle this summer.

Coyotes are a daily nuisance here, too. My neighbors a 1/4 mile away completely free range so predators are always near, picking off their flock. The coyote calls are night are so close and eerie. I have a 9k volt electric fence set up..so far no issues with my flock.

An Electric fence is next on the list, we just had spent a small fortune on game cams and hardware cloth and other things a few weeks ago with the raccoon issue. So it wasn't in the budget but will be purchased soon. My dogs are helping but are indoor dogs ... and not livestock guardian dogs, though one thinks he is, which has helped.

I have cayenne spread around to stop diggers. They won't get on on their paws and face but once.

I'm not about to waste money on a bunch of cayenne pepper to spread around 2 acres of fence line. Only to have to re apply after it rains. .22mag bullets are much cheaper.

I'd shoot a coyote too if I was awake lol
