Fox or coyote?

Bear repellent sprays much farther but cost more.

Yeah, need to get something portable and easy access.
@Nyboy , your comment "safer than a pistol' made me chuckle a little. A friend came over for some target practice last weekend and I got a burn on my collarbone from a hot casing (is that what the ejected part is called?). It STUCK and sizzled for a split second till I slapped it off. OUCH.

Cane you where target practicing ? good for you.

 

[canesisters]

Thanks. Tried several different pistols. Still like my shotgun better.

fox. There is one too that tries to do drive-by fast food chicken with my birds He/she is too fst for me to get a pic though

Here in NY I was able to walk into a sporting goods store and walk out with rifles. A pistol on the other hand is very hard to get permit for. you need to give a good reason why you want one and have 3 nonfamily members vouch for you. Then wait certain number of days

I think at least one of the coyotes in our neighborhood is actually a coydog, as it has really short legs (like corgi short).

i had one come back in my face and stick between my glasses and forehead. nice blister. last shot of the clip did that. that was the one and only time i've only shot a 9mm pistol. much prefer rifle with good scope. air rifle is working much better now that i have it sighted in.

@canesisters there's coyotes all around here, but i've only seen two in the 20+yrs here. they're not that bold most of the time unless very hungry or rabid. bears are usually the same way as long as people don't feed them or they have become habituated to raiding someone's trash heaps or someone is baiting them...

Coyotes here are attacking children they have no fear. I think the board of health is doing a cover up. They claim last 2 attacks the coyotes where rabid. If rabies was really in the county they would be zeroing in on pets being vaccinated. Children are now on coytoe prey list here.
