If tree huggers would stay out of writing the rules, you wouldn't have wildlife reclaiming their hunting territory in that land cancer called Toronto. Bears? Good luck with that!

8O that guy's done that before !!!

Jeebus !!!

Oh ya, We live in a residential area, but I would not think twice about leaning out the back door and offing a coyote with the ol .12 ga. We're also semi-rural, so none of my neighbours are going to complain.

Would bury it right next to the groundhogs from last year who were eating my buddys' garden. Got a couple cold beer for them. num num.

Nugg the bounty hunter.



:cool:

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!

I'd settle for a single shot and 10% of that guy's skill!

Absolutely amazing.

He is very good isn't he. twelve shots in one point something seconds...Damn near a machine gun. I see a big problem though......Paying for the ammo.. What's a box of twelve gauge worth these days?

12 shots?

Think about it.......loaded with 2 3/4 inch magnum buck shot..........12 .33 caliber pellets each.....each pellet roughly the same as a 9mm (.355") round....
144 in 2 seconds, that is 72 per second, thats 4320 per minute, thats 4 times any hand held sub machinegun I ever heard of, and 12 times the rate of a normal SMG!

Gotta love shotguns...........I do! :)
Except those 12 ga buckshot rounds cost about $1.50 each...

Cheap birdshot? $6 for 20?

First off, we should leave an ACME rocket sled out and the coyote will probably kill himself. If that doesn't work we can give him a plane ticket to Aberta and we'll show him first hand what we do to baby-stealin' dog-eatin' flea-ridden vermin like him.

I've personally seen a couple of yotes pulling and tearing at a half born calf. Get rid of the f*%king thing.

:cool:

Yep.

But you probably have the good sense to load the old 12 with #2 shot in a magnum load, wait till the little bastard is close enough for heavy birdshot to do the trick, be cool enough to be sure there is nothing important beyond him, and shoot careful enough to hit him right.....

Now find me someone in TO capable of that......

The shotgun holds only 12 shots, but those 12 shots can be fired in 1.13 seconds or 10.61 shots per second, or 637 shots per minute times 12 pellets per shot equals 7646 pellets per minute. If one was firing at a bad guy from say, 15 feet away, would there be anything recognizable left of the bad guy when the gun was empty?...:roll: Presumably, he would have the best part of 7,646 bullets through him....That is gruesome...:roll:

Coyotes are not that dangerous. For crying out loud, sure if your injured and lost in the woods I wouldn't like to see a pack of them approaching.

But when I grew up I'd see them all the time, I've walked within spitting distance of packs before, and 4 (that I could see) were more than terrified of one 12 year old kid with a walking stick.

You will have Coyotes in a city, you will also have raccoons, which are a helluva lot more dangerous to children (that being said, if tamed they make amazing pets)

I think we should learn how to co-exist with the animals on this planet, rather then trying to wipe them out.

Absolutely! I am a prairie boy and coyotes are part of the landscape. As a child, I did not fear them. You had much, much more reason to fear large farm dogs! As a matter of fact, one of my uncles befriended a coyote who was found as a pup starving in his field. It was friendly, stuck around the yard, did not bother the cattle or chickens ranging beside him. A year or so later, the coyote was shot by "real men" as he slept on the doorstep.

I used to live in "The Beaches" (the title swanky houses is overrated) and walk the ravine pretty much every day. There are more than a couple of coyotes there as there are racoons, feral cats, skunks, a deer once... They would hop the fence all the time to get at the trash



The point is... so?

Maybe the point is to take a step back and look at this
situation with fresh eyes. I'm going to assume that most
urban centers do not let you "free range" your cats through
other peoples yards and such. If you just "put the cat out"
and expect it to run free and just come home without ever
becoming prey to Owls or Eagles or Coyotes or Ravens,
then you're not only deluded, but performing an illegal act.

Domestic Dogs where bred by Man from Wolves. We
selectively bred them to become the many varied breeds
of Dogs that currently exist. A domestic Dog still has the
mind of a Wolf but has been bred not only for specific
physical traits, but for enhanced ability to interoperate human
body language and sociability. Those Dogs that where good
at reading our body language where thought of as smart and
got to breed; and those that where not where thought of as
dumb and ended up in the soup pot.

We've bred wild Wolves selectively into breeds as extreme
physically from the English Mastiff to the Pomeranian. Personally
I think having the mind of a Wolf in the body of a Chihuahua or
other similarly sized dog is not only a poor breeding practice but
is extremely cruel to the dog itself.

Dog breeds fall into classes by size (teacup, small, medium, large,
giant) and perhaps we need to change breeding standards so that
through selective breeding, the teacup & small size breed dogs
can regain at least a portion of their former size so that they can
reasonably defend themselves. Right or wrong, I see breeding a
wolf into a 5lb dog as an extreme form of selfishness in that you
remove that dogs ability to defend itself (and its pack = you and
your family) for the sake of convenience and/or to make it into a
fashion accessory.

Without knowing the breed of Dog that fell prey to a Coyote in
Toronto, I think it would be safe to say it most likely wasn't a
Husky, or a Rottweiler, or a Labrador Retriever, or a Border
Collie, or a Staffordshire Terrier. I think it would be safe to say
it was most likely a Chihuahua or a Pomeranian or one of the
other small or teacup size breeds. Breed those breeds bigger and
predation would be much less of an issue.

The only size shot left in the "locked storage container":roll:, are SSG/OOBuck. So, they would have to do.
