My wife and I live on a 2 1/4 acre plot of land. The soil and terrain make it unusable for crops that would grow in this part of the country given our weather patterns. So we kind of live in a 'neighborhood' with other people having similar sized plots though the houses are about 1/4 mile apart in a weird sort of cul-de-sac. My wife are also foster parents so we decided to get two horses about a month ago for kids to have something to do and a chore to help with.
For the last several months coyotes have been attacking the animals in the area they even killed my neighbors outdoor cats. At about 4 am I woke up because I could here their weird barking sound and I took my shotgun and went outside they were on the other side of one of my fences barking and snarling at the horses. I was able to get about 5 feet away and peg one from there and injuring another leaving flecks of blood for me to follow.
I had to track the other three for some time. I was in my [a href=http://www.crazyforbargains.com/mogotojapase.html?utm_source=mogotojapase&utm_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm_campaign=froogle&Size=S&gclid=CL307ov9h7ECFQF6hwodvQm3kw]pajama pants[/a], a [a href=http://www.collegefootballstore.com/COLLEGE_Nebraska_Cornhuskers_T-Shirts/adidas_Nebraska_Cornhuskers_The_Balboa_Tri-Blend_T-Shirt_-_Scarlet]t-shirt[/a], a [a href=http://sunsetfeed.com/sfsstore/images/Stetson-Angus-Black-Cowboy-Hat.jpg]black cowboy hat[/a], and my workout [a href=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71GiPohhJNL._SL1500_.jpg]sneakers[/a]. My attire was an idiotic choice as sneakers are not for walking in rocky grasslands, pajama pants in 90 degree Fahrenheit weather are horrible. The t-shirt was okay except it was bright red in a sea of yellows, tans, and greens. (despite popular belief dogs and their kin CAN see color it's just very muted and bland)
At about 6:30 I was able to find their fucking den. I got close enough to hit one of them and get a shot off injuring another the one I injured was the SAME one that I injured before. I caught up with that one about 15 minutes later and it looked terrible I felt kind of guilty and was able to put it down. I listened at the den to make sure their were no pups there weren't. On close examination of the kills there sized indicated that they were possibly malnourished they definitely weren't malnourished since they'd eaten plenty of chickens and cats. I concluded they were adolescent the one I got by my horses was much larger and female.
So that is how I killed most of a coyote family leaving one alive to seek it's horrible vengeance on me years later. Whenever we hear that lonesome howl my wife says "I can hear Inigo."
Edit P.S: I'm a detective for a living and, knock on wood, I've been on a roll since then.
