Coyote attacks pretty rare down south and out west as the ones which hide and skulk and slink are the ones who live very long, the brazen ones get whacked pretty quick away from places such as Atalanta, DFW, etc. What they have done to formerly plentiful quail is a cryin' shame, and those who do not want poor mother nature interfered with are the ones living in highly artificial unnatural large cities and haven't seen Precious ripped to pieces before their eyes.
I never can stay anywhere long where having a carbine in the car, and a pistol in my pocket is frowned upon. I hate feeling defenseless and a fish in a big ocean counting on the sharks to eat the OTHER fish in my large school. THAT feels unnatural, unless I were a cow or a sheep or a rabbit.

Heard that a lady walking her Rottweiler end of day last week was attacked by a coyote in a residential area of Vero Beach, Florida. Apparently the dog prevailed in scaring away the coyote, and neither he nor the lady were actually bitten.

Florida may as well be a blend of Chicago, Jersey, and New York, for much of its populated areas. And same outlook on firearms, while so densely populated in those same areas that there sure isn't much shooting going on except in pistol parlors.

From my time in NYC, I judge it a wonder nobody killed there yet by a squirrel, the former wildlife so emboldened, well fed, bigger all the time, and etc., after watching squirrels work together to dump over a closed trash can and spread the contents near and far, and also seeing a squirrel chow down on a grackle wing while sitting in a tree crotch.

Last year,right near my area,there were several attacks by coyotes on folks walking their dogs. Three dogs were killed,three injured and several people bitten.

My friend let his dog out one morning and three coyotes attacked and killed it. Several days later a deer crashed through his neighbor's sliding glass door with two coyotes hanging on to it.

An acquaintance of mine,in a nearby community has over that passed year harvested over 50+ coyotes,all weighing more than 50 lbs,one topped 65!!!

His weapon of choice is an M-4 300 Whisper suppressed.

All BS aside we are going to get a rabies breakout one day and coyotes will be seen by everyone a little different.

When I worked on the Alaska Pipeline in 1974-75, we received the Fairbanks newspaper. Hardly a day went by that the newspaper would have a picture of what was left of a pet, that a homeowner let out to do it's business. All the wolves left was the head and part of the spinal cord.

As a rural guy, as much as possible, and pretty much all over, everywhere the 'yotes move in, most all other ground based wildlife, feathered and furred, is wiped out. Period.

I can only hope they make inroads enough into center of power major metro areas that the politicians and populace see what a menace they are, and get the votes and popular will to do something, rather than same currently seeing doing anything as akin to eating dog meat in the far east, and killing only a wild cute Fido.

I'm probably repeating the story but 15 years ago or so, I just got into my ground blind opening week of deer season. Wasn't a few minutes before I had at least 6 critters circling the wagons. Never got a clear look at them but I will remember the dark shadows at 6:15am forever. Back then I hunted that spot with a single shot 45-70 Contender pistol. Taught me a valuable lesson walking into the woods early morning or anytime. My 10mm is always strapped to my leg on tactical holster.

And this story has nothing to do with Pocket Pistols. But just to be clear, I wish I had my Bond Arms .45/410 that day.

Warren,
Tha 10mm,is it a Glock or Delta Elite???

There are several stories of folks ,during turkey season,using a turkey call only to have a coyote soon on the scene staring them in the face.

Nothing wrong with a Bond 410/45LC on your side instead of the 10mm. Both,in my opinion will get the job done.

Wayne,

G20. It's not a pocket pistol as the thread suggests. I do carry my Bond outside of hunting season.
