I have a 10-22 with a silencer on it that would put a stop to that coyote problem real quick. City limits or no. At 4AM, nobody is going to see a thing.

Too bad silencers are all but illegal. Sub sonic rounds are pretty quiet though.

I encountered a coyote in suburban Atlanta (Vinings, to be specific) a couple of years ago. There’s really no woods to speak of here either.

I saw a coyote in Tanglewood in Houston at 1pm 2 months ago. It was at least 3 miles from the bayou and running in that direction. I followed it a little way but had to stop at Woodway for traffic. I had heard that they were here but had not had a sighting till this one.

Now that’s what I need!
A coyote ought to keep those pesky neighborhood cats out of my garden!
I’ve tried everything... mousetraps, bb-guns...

More victims of gun control!

It’s not just like there aren’t woods nearby.
More like Long Beach is the most unlikely place on the entire planet for wild animals. I’m series.
Pacific Ocean to the south. Pacific Ocean to the west. 75 miles of urban sprawl all the way up to Santa Monica to the north. Probably 100 miles of nothing but city to the northeast right through Compton and all the way up to. Heck all the way to Ontario. East; nothing but urban sprawl all the way out past Anaheim.
To the southeast, nothing but urban sprawl way out to Tustin.
I can’t think of a more unlikely place for coyotes, actually.
I guess there are some woods in Palos Verdes, which is sort of north of there. Not much though.
Those are some enterprising coyotes, that’s for sure.
Perhaps they carjacked somebody to get there.

1 in 10 Americans (higher actually) are infected with the worms their cats carry. Stop it. You're making my butt itch!

See a coyote, kill it.
‘Nuff said.
To: Chode
This is a beautiful animal.

Several cats have suddenly gone missing in one north Long Beach neighborhood and its feared coyotes may be to blame.What's the down side?

Thank god we don't have them in NEPA. I keep my cats in but I feed many strays. We have raccoons and the occasional Bear that craps on a rock in my driveway.

I cant think of a more unlikely place for coyotes, actually.Imagine that many garbage cans to raid, backyard pet dishes to clean out, not to mention backyard pets.
They must have thought they had died and gone to heaven...
They are highly adaptable, scavenger/hunter critters who blend in (looks like a dog at large to the untrained eye) well. Once humans quit hunting them, they get over their fear of humans pretty quickly and move in. They have even been seen in Central Park, NYC.

We have the Albino deer also. They are stunning.
