**** Coyotes

I was running my little female Gretchen solo yesterday and she got attacked by a **** coyote. She got by with only a couple small skin tears on her rib cage. This is the 4th time in the last 3 years I have had a beagle attacked while running a rabbit track! I wish the State would put a bounty on coyote. Is there anything I can do to stop these attacks on my beagles ?

Yotes

Sorry about your dog. I have not had that problem yet, but I run a pack more so I would have less problem. I have been told that you can run a small cow bell on their collar
and the coyotes won't come near. The man that told me swore it works. At any rate it's cheap and would also help you keep up with their location. Hope it helps!

Some will debate that bells do work for a period of time. However, after they smarten up to them they become "dinner bells".

It sounds like I need to quit running in the spring or stay close to my dogs and talk to them so a coyote knows I am nearby.

Last year we had a 4 dog pack attacked. 2 dogs gone, only a front leg was found. A buddy was running his Canadian National Champion with 10 other dogs and suddenly there was only 10 running. He had a gps and found what was left of his dog and the collar. 10 years ago you didn't hear about this at all. Then it was a Kentucky thing, now it happens in Maryland. A few years back a guy in Kentucky said the Yotes killed one of his beagles and he replaced it with a Yote hound. You want them to leave your beagles alone, run the Yotes with big hounds, they won't come near a barking hound after that. Invest in a calling machine and hunt'em.

When I'm running I carry two pistols. A blank one to shoot over my dogs and a 410 with 00buckshot or 22 pistol for yotes. Make sure you have a hunting liscense.

Of the 4 times my dogs have been hit by Coyotes only once did I actually see the Coyote. That one didn't actually bite the dog. It just chased him out of the woods. It was running along about 20 yds behind the dog (not trying to catch him) until it saw me. It saw me as soon as I saw it so I couldn't have gotten a shot at it even if I had a gun with me. They are slick !

We shot 20 in a week and a half off are coyote dogs about a month ago

If a beagle gets to close to a active den site they can get nailed. its more to do with being territorial than anything. april and may would be the most likely time to get a dog attacked as that's when yotes have to protect their own pups. other times of the year coyotes are just curious and come to see whats going on. coyotes are not gonna run just because they hear a big dog barking unless they know they are being chased themselves, theyre smarter than a average house dog.
