Coyotes lurking in the woods in Massachusetts have been known to attack dogs, chickens, cats, and even, in rare instances, people. But a buffalo ?...
A pack of coyotes entered a pen where his 14 buffalos grazed. When they were done, one was missing...“All that was left was skin and bone,” said Kimball, who was keeping watch over the pen today as the herd huddled together and grazed on grass.
...
After the coyote attack, he vowed to be vigilant in protecting the animals – armed, if necessary. “I’m going to come out here with my gun, and if I see one, I’ll shoot it,” he said.
It’s not the first incident involving a coyote in Haverhill in recent years.

they must be hanging out at Trader Joes hard by the state line.
deer, rabbits, you name it, they eat everything round here
“Armed if necessary..”
Coyote or wolf or combo, these predators are not very responsive to the art of gentle persuasion. Shoot or get eaten are basically the 2 options.
Do the donkeys kick the predators and/or protect the livestock?
My Remington 7400 in .243 Winchester loves coyotes. So does my Remington 870 20-gauge.
“Plastered”...that’s funny! How would you say “Atkinson or Methuen?”
Have you ever been to “New Hampster”?
Things must be getting wild in eastern Mass since I’ve been there. Coyotes AND Buffalo??? Gee...and to think I thought I had to ‘go west young man’, to see such things!
Back in the early '60s Massachusetts had a Governor named Endicott Peabody.
He was the only Governor to have 4 towns with his name:
Endicott, Peabody, Marblehead and Athol.
Just introduce wolves. They eat coyotes.
You get yourself two coonhounds, and they’ll take down a cougar, let alone coyotes. Good dogs to have around, keeps the yard clear of dangers, well keeps the yard clean of any wild animals, or cats.
Don’t leave us hanging.
How does donkeys in a herd keep coyotes away.
Do they start baying or screaming or whatever they do?
One night several years ago in West Tenessee, a friend of mine and I had three Plott hounds (two small females and one male less weighing than 70 pounds) that decided to ignore treeing coons and instead chased and captured a female coyote. They were close to killing it when we arrived, and they likely would have if it weren’t for a .22 to the head.
The donkeys kick AND bite coyotes. Every rancher I know that has a cow-calf operation keeps donkeys in the field.
between the coydogs and the BIG CATS that the ny-dec say DO NOT EXIST IN NY, they are tearing the deer to pieces round here...
I am no expert on dogs but I think you're wrong here. I seem to remember that female dogs come into heat only once or twice a year.
Hmmm, I re=read what you wrote and it’s different from the first reading. Yes, it is quite possible that female dogs can come into heat at different times of the year as opposed to wolves, who may synchronize their pup-bearing. Sorry.
Wolf or coyote? Genetics tell complicated tale
"...So, the coyotes that arrived in St. Lawrence County in the 1930s were already an altered species."
"Trappers back then called them coy-dogs, and the name stuck; however, today we know you really can't have a self-sustaining coyote-dog hybrid out there because, for one, dogs breed at all times of the year, and pups born in January or February would have little chance of surviving. Also, if dog genes were an important component, we would have coyotes of all shapes, sizes and colors."
My mother’s family is from Riverside. I believe I went to hs with the previous generation of the Kimballs, their farm is down in Rocks Village, IIRC.
