    What a good idea. Think I'll go to the SPCA and get myself a bunch of unwanted cats. Lots of vacant houses in Vancouver owned by foreign investors, might as well put them to use. 50 bucks buys you one pass thru the house - kill the most cats, win a prize.

    Except, cats aren't chasing people in urban neighborhoods.

    Coyote attack in Edmonton prompts police rescue
    Police used a helicopter to help rescue a woman and her three dogs Thursday night in Edmonton after a pack of seven to nine coyotes attacked one of the dogs while on a walk in the southwest area of the city.

    The woman called 911 at 8:20 p.m. after falling down a six-metre embankment in the Riverbend/Terwillegar area while trying to save her dog.

    Police used Air 1 to light the area, while tactical officers rappelled down the embankment to rescue the woman, who was unhurt.

    They buy advanced weaponry, mail order, from ACME.

    Coyotes kill cats. I kill coyotes.

    (I have friends in Yolo County who invite me out once in a while to thin the pack.)

    Good times. :wink:

    I've killed them before, but I don't like having to kill dogs unless they are sick, injured or pose a threat.

    I've had to as well. Had a special rifle for it. Didn't like it, but then again I didn't like seeing livestock being torn apart by a pack of dogs either.

    special? I just used a .308 .....dog is almost instantly dead with one shot, pretty well anywhere you hit it. These guys that hunt with a .22 or .223 risk making an animal suffer

    22/303. Large cartridge, small but long bullet. Lots of hydrostatic shock, even if you don't hit vital organs. It would kill a coyote instantly, but from a very long distance. Much less chance of them catching your scent.

    Coyotes are smarter than people! I have a friend who is ( or was--he is in his 80's now) a cowboywho worked one of the larger community pastures in western Saskatchewan. They said they had yotes eating up their calves, (he was not impressed when I suggested they were probably feeding on already dead carcasses.). They got the Gov. to build "sniper towers" all over the pasture. They were stunned that only a few yotes were taken. They just avoided the towers when someone was in them. The are smarter then we are. When global warming sends us back to the Permian, yotes will be working the shore of the swamp and if global cooling sends us into the Pleistocene, they will be chewing on lemmings in central Alabama.

    .308 is my usual because anymore the .50 draws too much attention.
