Oregon Shooting a Coyote in Self Defense in PDX City

[best defense]

I've seen plenty of coyotes in the wild just standing there. would have been an easy shot with my AR but for a pistol would have been tough. There usually about 3-400 feet out when I see them.

Right, when they are out there a way, sometimes they stand still, but when they get close they are usually moving, some times pretty fast.

They have big problem with coyote 's on the island up here where my sister lives stalking people with dogs and killing or attacking dog and cats or anything else but that's what happens when you live on SNOW FLAKE ISLAND 90% of the people out there have no hunting signs the deer and coyotes are all over the place

Someone took the time to make a poster containing every ACME product used (to his regret) by Wile E Coyote. Take your pick. I'm partial to the anvil, but any ACME firearm...

Lots of deer means lots of coyote 's they been getting deer also but they will take a dog cat chicken whatever not really Pack's of them coyote 's don't really run in packs maybe 3 or 4 but there are lots of couples 2 running together and having pups and need anything to feed them

I've run across many that hold still until you point a rifle at them . Then they haul azz. Gone.

Yup. Old African proverb: "even the mighty Lion can be felled by a pack of hyenas" (or something like that).

I was duck hunting a Year ago or something like that and the fish and game police man lol the game warden was checking my gear and license and he ask me if I had seen any coyote 's I told him I saw one the year before he told me if I see any do whatever I could to kill them having problems around that area

Coyotes and stray dogs are always an issue where I walk in the PDX metro area. I CC but I also carry my tacticool flashlight that has a built in stun gun. It cracks so loud when you trigger it that it even startles people. It has chased off multiple dogs, coyotes, people and even a black bear once when I was camping. Won't work on anything rabid. But there hasn't been too much worry for rabies in Oregon for years.

As for discharge of a firearm in city limits. If you are afraid for your life and there is reasonable evidence provided (eg a carcass) then you should be fine with the police. Always check your shots by looking beyond your target (obvious to some). And like someone said earlier in this string. Always be sure to articulate the fact that you were in fear for your life. You need to say it multiple times and make sure they get it.

There are certain things you need to repeat to them just like there are things you never tell them. Like if you shoot someone who broke into your house. You were afraid for your life. And you never gave an ultimatum to the perpetrator. Ultimatums will get you premeditated murder charges in Oregon.

You know what is amazing is if the deer just took off running it would be over but it chose to fight hmmmm when I go down south to south Carolina we fish at this pond that has gators in it but the guy who lives there has cats I asked him if the gator 's ever get his cats he said nope but they get dog's all the time because the dogs will walk right up to the gator laying on the bank to smell it but the cats stay away mmmmm who's stupid now lol

Guy I knew in high school was out looking for deer one day and sees something... "Hey, a coyote!" BOOM. Square in the chest, thing goes flying. A few minutes later he's confronted by a large and VERY angry individual: "YOU SHOT MY DOG YOU STUPID SON OF A bubblegum!" Felt terrible, but you can't take back a .308 bullet.

Point is, be careful that you know what you're shooting at.

Could you TAZR a coyote?

I grew up on a farm out in Helvetia and and one night we heard a ruckus outside. We had a springer spaniel chained in the yard and it was chasing a coyote out into the dark until the chain got tight and then the coyote would chase the dog back in. About the 4th time they came back in my dad was waiting there with a sawed off model 12. That worked...

knowing some of the outstanding city officials in portland, you'd pry be fine defending your dog and be ridiculed if you defended yourself.


just sayin

This.

This is my coyote repellent. I'm pretty sure he'd back me in a fight right?
