So this morning there was a coyote in my fromt yard. literally in the grass sniffing a spot where that cat sleeps on a regular basis.

A daytime coyote means a very hungry coyote, right?

he looks pretty scraggly, i felt bad for him. he probably got chased out of his house with the bridge construction. maybe his mom kicked him out for being a louse?

either way i shot him in the booty wth a pellet gun. i don't want my cat to become dinner!

Good Lord.

Why not just keep your cat indoors for a few days?

or possibly a rabid coyote.

Anytime you see wild animals acting in a manner inconsistent with their natural behavior, you should be wary that something isn't significantly wrong with them, and it is one of the signs of a rabid animal.

Is there something funny about shooting an animal?

it was a pellet... not a bullet... calm down.

There was a report on the radio a weeks ago about a rabid animal somewhere in the sacramento region that attacked someone. Sorry, I just vaguely remember it. Prolly 'cause to me it sounded like the animal was pretty far from here--like way over on the west side.

anywhoo--There is a distinctive difference between a rangy, hungry coyote coming down out of the foothills during a lean winter---and a rabid coyote running around.

However, I'll concede the point that I wouldn't necessarily want to get close enough to figure out which category this coyote fell into.

I would suggest calling fish and wildlife to report the animal was in your yard. If anything it will help them track the little beasties--in case they do "go rabid"

And a small point on pellet guns. A friend of mine has her son in the hospital right now for accidently shooting himself in the face with a pellet gun. (he banged the stock into the doorway and it shot right into his cheekbone.) The boy is going to have to get his cheekbone broken to take the pellet out (it lodged into the soft bone structure just above his upper teeth and just below his occipal lope). It also damaged a portion of his nose cartilage and he needs plastic surgery--his something er-other will collapse when they break his cheek bone.

So, please don't shoot a wild animal with a pellet gun. They can't get free-or near free medical help, when someone causes them a longterm injury that will inhibit their ability to forage for food.

To some people violence is a perfectly acceptable way of living day to day.

Apparently. Not only is it not funny but having that reaction is pathetic and immature.

Sorry to hear about your friends son, but two things about that. One, your description implies that shot was virtually point blank, and two, human skin is very wimpy compared to animal hide.

I don't know the power of the pellet gun used, but there is a very good chance, the shot at the coyote's booty did nothing more than put a little sting in his backend.

The same result could have been accomplished by yelling or banging 2 pots together but if you're for shooting an animal too then I guess you and the V's have a lot in common.
