Amish Heart
A True Doomsday Prepper
Same here. Picking all the green tomatoes and peppers today.
A coyote, wolf, dingo or any other type of "dog-like" animal is not a dog. Aggressive coyotes, shy and run away wolves wild dingos are the
"un-wanted" and hunted for certain reasons. There has never been a verified and recorded attack on a human in the North American continent since the white man invaded it. There have been reports of humans being attacked by dog-like animals and they wanted to say it was a coyote, but there was no proof.
I have no info on dingos from Australia, just they have also almost been hunted into extinction to protect the sheep (not sheeple) there, causing maybe another catastrophic problem there with the rabbits which have to be fenced in with thousands of miles of fencing to protect the rest of Australia.
Coyotes do carry diseases and the toys stolen from the dogs only were interesting since they smelled like the dogs.
The toys should be cheaper to replace with new ones rather than the price of a Vet charging you for shots and other costs of your dogs getting something....
You are working off of old data Gary. Up until 1979 that was true, but since then there have been documented coyote attacks, rare, but increasing in frequency. Only two have been fatal however, one in 1981 and one in 2009. For some reason (I have a theory on this) they mostly occur in California:A coyote, wolf, dingo or any other type of "dog-like" animal is not a dog.

OK, thank you. So, maybe I'm justified in carrying my 9mm Hi-Power when I walk my dogs. I hope I never have to shoot one because I find them to be interesting animals that I enjoy watching, but I will if I absolutely have to.
I understand . . . although I like hearing them yip and howl. They seem to go nuts with howling whenever a siren from an ambulance goes by.Walking back to camp from the deer stand after dark, I have found myself with packs of coyotes between me and camp. Although there haven't been any documented attacks in that state, it's still bone chilling to hear their hellish yipping and know you have to walk towards them in the dark.
For that reason I started carrying a 1911 while deer hunting, just for peace of mind.
Thanks for the update...As I re-read my post I saw my mistake. I said no attacks...I wanted to write no wolf attacks. I know of the coyote problem but I wanted to say that only Hollywood made the wolf look so bad, I have never read about a wolf attacking a human, even tho it may have happened sometime, I have never read or heard of a wolf attack on a human.You are working off of old data Gary.

then the next one in 1988
2 in 1990
2 in 1992

5 in 1995
7 in 1997
3 in 1998
5 in 1999
1 in 2000
7 in 2001
7 in 2002
and so on
There were 12 in 2020.

I would say yes and plus the development into previously rural areas. As farmland is bought up and subdivided, wild animals are pushed farther out.Do you think Californians are preferentially attacked because of the state's anti-gun and anti-hunting policies? Is this assumption a stretch?
It's good that you're relocating, then.I would say yes and plus the development into previously rural areas. As farmland is bought up and subdivided, wild animals are pushed farther out.
We had coyotes on our property, come up to the yard to yowl at our dogs. Our shepherds went nuts.
We shot off the porch and they ran away, but now the area to the east of us is being developed with some millionaires coming over from Seattle. Haven't seen the coyotes since they started tearing up the old farmland to build in a road.
Glad we are moving.
I like them as well, however they were coming up to attack our dogs, so we shot over them to scare them. I didn't want a huge vet bill - I know our dogs can handle themselves, but these coyotes looked pretty desperate (and skinny) so I'm guessing they were very hungry.It's good that you're relocating, then.
I guess I don't understand a lot of the antipathy towatd coyotes, though. I realize that they can spread disease, they can kill livestock and small pets . . . but I've also seen them eating gophers and rats.
I like hearing them howl and yip when I turn in at night, and they seem like interesting animals.
From what I've seen, they also seem blindingly intelligent, as far as animals go.
There are lots of you tube videos on them. Made with cinder blocks. You are like me Arctic. Bad signals to watch anything online.If it wasn't for your boy Joe we wouldn't need to prep. Sorry Brent, couldn't help myself.
I'd like to get a rocket stove sometime. I couldn't watch the video but I've seen rocket stoves before.
I'd like to see more on prepping here too.
Californians are attacked because of their political views, their arrogance and for changing the place they move to in to where they left. I grew up in Oregon. It was a conservative state until the Californian infestation. Eastern Oregon is still pretty conservative but there's enough socialists in Portland and the Willamette Valley to dictate socialist policy over the whole state.Do you think Californians are preferentially attacked because of the state's anti-gun and anti-hunting policies? Is this assumption a stretch?
39 wolf attacks in North America from apparently healthy wolves and 12 from confirmed rabid wolves. Mostly in Alaska and Canada. Wolf attacks are more likely to be fatal than coyote attacks.Thanks for the update...As I re-read my post I saw my mistake. I said no attacks...I wanted to write no wolf attacks.

You should meet my dad, my brother and my son.Californians are attacked because of their political views, their arrogance and for changing the place they move to in to where they left.

I've never met a conservative Californian yet.
It's a combination of factors.Do you think Californians are preferentially attacked because of the state's anti-gun and anti-hunting policies? Is this assumption a stretch?
