i was out last night trying to put some more fur in the freezer. I did a solid drop on the way home by a chicken farm and cut th dog 3 min later strikes good. he works the track in 5 mins and falls treed hammering. i hear yotes off in the distance which isnt anything new, i let him tree for a few min i get outa my truck get my gun ready and i look up the road and see eyes. they start coming towards me i think its a house dog runnin up the road then gets closer i see there red and it turns and its a huge huge yote. before i could shoot he goes into the woods towards my dog so i take off almost on a run and get over the barb wire and in about 100 foot and hes 150 yards from me i see the eyes starin at me. i pop off a shoot for the eyes and miss anotherand miss he wont even budge. i hear movement by my truck out on the road 4 more yotes come. they catch up with the first and they head for my dog at this point im goin as fast as i can but they got there first i got one more shot off at one , when they got there freddy turned to them and squared off they saw no food so they dispursed i get to the tree he wont bark till i get him goin again and im shinin the tree and they came back! so unlaoded the gun on them and got outa there. yes bad shooting but the guns a 22 i have had for 3 weeks i re did it its a marlin and i rebuilt it never shot that far w it sighted it in at 30 yards like a coon would be. today i bought a scope so game on , today my wife calls me at work and freddy is gone he dug a hole under his kennel then 8 o clock he came home maybe he wanted to find them lol , ive never had coyotes act like that they wernt afrade of me or the gun of the dog with a light on, from now on ill cary the 243 let the wife carry 22

Coyotes are picking up that coon hunters leads to a fresh coon carcass to fight over. They aren't stupid so that is why they are being so aggressive. Hungry coyotes learn new tricks real fast.
