What's your stance on this? I have some land and see coyotes from time to time. I have some chickens and a golden retriever. Should I shoot coyotes on sight or only if they are going after my animals?

They WILL be going after your animals. You probably won't get to actually see that, so I say go ahead and dust them if you get the chance.
Mixed feelings on this.
On one hand I fully support farmers and ranchers doing what is necessary to protect their livestock, crops or pets.
On the other hand there are a ton of people that are just looking for cover to kill stuff.

They WILL get your chickens. And they're faster and more Wiley Coyote than your retriever. You gotta do what you gotta do.
Be the bigger person and choose domestication over assassination.
Eh, blow them away. They're not native, they're an invasive species. Now part of the reason they ARE an invasive species is they're filling the vacuum caused by us killing the native red wolves. But I'm fine with working on breeding the reds and keeping the coyote numbers down.
There's basically no limits or requirements on killing the invasive species nor should there be.

What is the point of having all these guns if you were to let something live when you could legally kill it?

Everyone, let me know if you run out of ammo. I hate those nasty dogs.
Can you use their pelts? Might be able to use them for something other than target practice and get some use out of them. When its cold you can walk around town like a crazed badass.
Yeah but then if you get shot, it will be your own fault for dressing like that.Can you use their pelts? Might be able to use them for something other than target practice and get some use out of them. When its cold you can walk around town like a crazed badass.
Where did you see black bears were an invasive species? Black bears are a native species to Fl.
As for killing coyotes, shot 'em all. I saw a video from a management area where a camera was placed to view a coyote den. The coyotes averaged bringing back 3 fawns a week back to the den. I live in a farming area and the farmers routinely lose calves and baby pigs to coyotes.

Read this. Sometimes killing them isn't the best option but I understand wanting to. They can have more successful breeding numbers if you kill them. Coyotes/armadillos/hogs are all three problem animals in my opinion.

What about giant, flying dragon dogs?
Lol, dragon dogs are fine. On a side note regarding your handle I love me some "Jerry was a race car driver."
Kill them all!
Also hawks, owls eagles, feral cats, stray dogs, raccoons, opossums, take NO chances!!

Tell the farmers to get a donkey or two! problem solved
AS for the fawns, that's sad, but at least it's for food. The only reason the average redneck gives a damn about them is because they can't grow up so Bubba can kill it and mount it's head on the wall!
I don't believe this hippie propaganda. I'm going to kill them all.
There's more whitetails living now than at any point in history. Because we killed off their natural predators (wolves and panthers), created spaces they love (they don't love dense forest they like looser forest with big grass fields nearby which we've created in the suburbs and farms), and the modern rednecks don't kill as many as the subsistence natives and original settlers/small farmers that needed their meat to survive. So America is flooded with whitetails.
Right. So we probably shouldn't get too concerned if coyotes are killing fawns. Livestock, yes, but not whitetails.
Cool Story bro...
Few years back, my sister was walking her dog (20 lbs Bichon/Shitzu mix) near her house in West Boca Raton first thing in the morning. They were having sightings in several neighborhoods but until that point, she had never seen one. This coyote came out of no where and grabbed the leash and dog and ripped it right out of her hand. Some neighbor heard my sister scream and chased it about a mile and got the dog back by hitting it with a stick. The dog was in very rough shape, bleeding and scared. My sister had to keep it quarantined for about 3 months until they were sure it didn't have rabies. Since then, the dog has made a complete recovery and is living the good life.

Why was your sister walking her dog in South Florida without a gun?
