I live in NE Portland. Recently, a woman was walking her dog in a nearby park and encountered a coyote. She made it home, but then her dog because barking at the front window. She looked out and saw four coyotes circling in her front yard.
I take my dog to a park (different one but near), usually at 5am in the morning. I'm usually the only one there. He's old and nearly blind and we've had occasional run-ins with stray dogs.
In my experience, coyotes run from noisy humans, but let's suppose there was one that got into a scrap with my dog. If I shot the coyote, would I be facing any legal problems? Obviously, I'd do this only as a last resort, to protect myself or my dog. I assume if I did have to do that, my next move should be to call 911 immediately.
Second, how's .38 +P or 9mm +P on a coyote?
