I am on a local forum and last week we got to discussing coyotes. And I said, "Shoot 'em on sight no questions asked." The Asheville Libs were horrified. One gal said, "If we become scared of coyotes, then we have been made fearful. If you think about harming a poor coyote, then you have been made violent. Let us not live lives of fear and violence. Let us live in harmony with the coyotes."
Spoken like a true bliss ninny.
Last time I lived in "harmony" with a coyote was when I was scouting for a special elk tag I'd pulled in east Idaho. My "instrument" was a Marlin 1894S .41 Magnum with a Sierra 210 grains jacketed hollow point bullet. At about 50 yards, it put a really quick stop to my "harmony" with El coyote.
When I lived in Laurel Canyon of Studio City, Calif., coyotes were all over the Hollywood Hills, Santa Monica Mountains, deserts, everywhere. Many a bunny hugging bliss ninny lost their little oopsie poopsie petsies and kitties to the prolific and fearless coyotes. Many of the idiots would put food out for the coyotes and then wonder where their little FiFi went.
The coyotes are still there and feeding well.
