The idiots here think that the Yotes are so cute and cuddly, then then turn around and get upset when Brutus the Chahuahua becomes a snack or Fluffy the cat is MIA. They are getting aggressive in the South West Santa Clara Valley, Campbell, Los Gatos, Saratoga area.
Another regulation stopping you from protecting your family and pets.


I think the one of the few solutions, if possible to do safely, is be not seen or heard, S.S.S.
I can say that even my .25 Maverick 600 is quiet enough that people on the other side of my fence and some thick bushes walking don't hear it 20' . The max fence height is 7ft, in most areas to my knowledge and another 14" to so with some lattice work.
 
Not controlling animal populations seems "nicer" to many people but in reality it is more cruel. The population gets too large for the food supply, the animals get desparate and attack any possible food source and if it continues they starve. It's hard for me to see where that is "nicer".
This type of scenario has already played out with mountain lions in CA. Only a few kids, joggers and Mtn bikers have been killed so far..so Karen’s consider that a win..

At least the yotes smallish stature will ensure that only pets and small children will suffer from californika stupidity.

Which do they prefer, I wonder

On a more serious note.
In this California situation, if one encounters a coyote attacking a pet or child is there any punishment for killing it?
(The coyote, not the child))

IMO highly dependent on the Police Dept, Sherriff, DA in your area and what laws you may have broken in addition to killing the yote. Nevertheless, if the yote was attacking my children on my property I wouldn't hesitate to take whatever remedial action necessary to stop the threat ASAP!

I don't think too many DA would charge you or any jury would convict you if you have evidence of bite marks on your child. Yote attacking a pet, that isn't such a sure thing.

IDK probably depends on the pet. Cats taste like chicken. Poodles would be French cuisine. Yea..kidding.

The law regarding Mtn Lions says you can shoot them in self defense. That said, a guy bow hunting in SD county shot one that he claimed was stalking him and lost his gear and $10k. Guess it’ll depend on who reviews your case. Probably would have been better if he’d waited for the lion to bite him..but rather difficult to shoot your bow accurately while being gnawed on.

I have shot and, will shoot, every one I see.

Have a buddy up in Napa that keeps showing me pictures of the small group of coyotes that come right up to his fence.

His HOA will not do anything, wife is dead set against removing them.

Been trying to tell him to take her on a vacation, and let me take care of it for him, but he too henpecked, and wife hasn't looked at me the same since I said I would kill them until they stop coming😉

Some people just will never get it, once coyotes take to urban areas, they need to be put down
