Brazen Coyote And My Two Bull Terriers

JParanee

Here is an interesting video showing a brazen coyote that my bullies and I came across

I’m very proud of these 14 month old bullies and how they respond to verbal commands

They aren’t there yet but they are getting there

That was a cool video. I bet that Coyote was in heat. Max was showing more interest in the scent and certainly circled the area the coyote was spotted in.

Thank you

Lady is just starting to come into heat also so a lot could be going on

Out first interaction was a few weeks ago and the one before that was a few months

I’m just happy with the progress of the dogs and I’m proud of them at only 14 months

They are far from finished but doing great

The coyotes in my back yard are messing up my deer food plots. But I guess it's better than the bear I have to contend with.

Good pics

Here’s one from back a few months ago

I think this is the dog from the video

Good to know I'm not the only one dealing with Coyotes. I hear them a lot at night. I think they're saying, "Steve it's hunting season soon and we're waiting for more deer carcass scraps left out for us deep in the woods where we'll be happy to lick them to the bone."

For years all we had was tons of foxes on the mountain. My Dogo Argentinos chased them everywhere

We never had coyotes

They where in the neighboring areas but nit on the mountain

This is changing

This our third run in with this one

It's odd you mention foxes. I too used to see MANY foxes on my property. However, for the past 2 years it's a rarity that I run into one. I'm not sure if that has to do with the coyotes or what. I know my turkey population is still very high so I'm assuming the coyotes aren't raking too much havoc. However, many of my friends who are avid hunters are telling me I need to get rid of the Coyotes.
I don't think the deer movement is being affected too much by the coyotes because I am still seeing them coming in to eat at the food plots I put out. But I am no expert on this subject. I do miss seeing the fox around the area and I have no idea what happened to them. I figured it was either the Bobcat or Coyotes. Your thoughts?

I’m not a big predator hunter so it’s something I haven’t spent a;out of time doing

When it comes to anything that looks like a dog it gets a pass from me

With that said since the coyote episodes starting I have not seen as many foxes around here either

I am being told also to get rid of the coyotes

I don’t really fear them around the bullies unless mange or rabies becomes the problems but we do have a little dog that doesn’t listen as well as my bullies and for her I am worried

We have curtailed her from going outside into the woods alone and are keeping an eye out till we figure the coyote out

My bullies are good at staying by my side while in the woods and don't wander too far off. However, do have a couple Bullies that will chase after a deer if they see one. Luckily the chase doesn't last for more then a couple minutes and they retreat right back with a little disappointment for not being able to catch the deer. My worry is running into a momma bear with her cubs or a angry bobcat. The coyotes here keep their distance from people and it's a rarity that I ever run up on one. That one you have in that video of yours seems to be pretty gutsy and might have me a little concerned especially if he decides to recruit a pack of his friends for a hunting escapade of his own.
One blessing about these woods here is that there are no skunks or porcupines that can become an issue with my Bullies.

JParanee

We have skunks but thank god no porcupines

We have a lot of deer and regretfully tics

I am treating Max for Anaplasma right now and thankfully he seems fine and from what I’m reading it curable

BulliesofNC

We have a lot of ticks as well. I have them on Flea and Tick preventative but I still spray them with some home made repellent when we go for walks out in the woods.
