I was surprised that the cows had nearly no reaction to him. What's bad about it is most of the day yesterday I was watching for him. My neighbor has a scoped .243 and took at least two shots at him. This morning when I got up and looked out the bedroom window, he was running away from my backyard fence. He was close enough to hit with my pistol if I had just been a little more stealthy about it. So he has taken my only rooster, my only adult hen and now I can't walk around in the pasture with my Siberian Husky for fear she will chase it. She is fearless, but I don't think she could take a wild coyote. So now all my chickens and ducks have to stay in their pens during the beautiful spring days till I get a suitable rifle and scope this weekend and take him out.
I had no intention of fooling with Mr. Coyote until he forced my hand. I know they kill rodents and other creatures that would be considered pests. My neighbor said he will come back every day until all my chickens are gone. I've seen him twice in the back pasture this morning, but I don't have a rifle that can reach him. Yet.
