We've heard the Lama thing, and a few people have tried it.  We were looking at getting some for both this purpose and to add to the show stock ... UNTIL ... They worked great until a coyote tore the face right off a pair one night.

Herd dogs work well for coyotes and other varmints, but we also deal with stray dogs.  When the dogs pack up in the winter they will attack and kill anything.

We've go full moon coming up on the 27th  ;D  Should make Memorial Day weekend a fun time  ;D  I'm even off that weekend and Holiday this year  ;D

Got a couple guns set to go already  ;D and the new batteries are ready to go in the Phantom  ;D

Here in Western North Carolina coyotes are starting to become a problem. There was none hear since the early 1900's because they all got killed out. But, a few years back the North Carolina Wildlife Commission released them and some other animals in an attempt to return the mountains back to they way they were before. Coyotes have started to maintain and increase their numbers. They do learn quick though.. it doesn't take a time or two of shooting at them before they usually move on or get real nervous.  I don't hate them per-say, but they can quickly become a problem that can get out of hand if some of them aren't eliminated. .223's in the head or heart work great.  ;)

They are quick learners.  What we have found is that over calling, and it doesn't take much, will make them call shy; shooting and missing is just like hanging out a sign to be more observant and sly; but, killing a few and letting them lay will send them down the road fast.

If you mortally wound them it scares off the others better than an instant kill. They'll all hear him calling if he's wounded. If he's dead he says nothing.

But if you scare them all away, then you will have nothing for future target practice!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
