I was once hunting for deer with two friends. We were going down a draw. One buddy went down on the left, just out of sight. The other went down on the right, just out of sight. I went down the middle. I got down first. The other two followed. We all had no luck. The guy on the right stayed on my right all the way down to our stopping point. The one on the left said he came to a point where he could no longer continue on my left and shifted over to the middle, a ways behind me. When he got down to our stopping point he mentioned that he must have been about five minutes behind me. He also asked me if I had seen any coyote or coyote tracks. I had not and told him so. He then said he say coyote tracks right on top of mine meaning that a coyote, totally unbeknownst to me, had been following right behind me. Sneaky little devils.
I have Bulldog/Shih Tzu ... yes, it's a "Bull/Shit".Baa dum dum tish
Are you describing the coyote or Sly?
How many mountain lions attack a full grown man? Answer - It's almost unheard of.
When I was in high school we had a racoon who lived up a very large fir tree near our back yard. I didn't know he was even there until I heard a clatter every night around 10 pm. The next morning I would find all the garbage all over the place. It was my job to take care of the garbage which meant also cleaning up any spills. So one night I stayed up late leaning out an upstairs window to see what the heck was going on at 10 pm every night. I was pleasantly surprised to find a racoon going through our garbage.
Depends on how many are in the pack and what the quarry is. When it was the new colony of Geese I was attempting to establish on the ranch, The coyotes came the first time a saw them with seven in the pack.
Seems to me that anyone who feels they truly need a gun (especially a “high capacity rapid fire rifle”) are the individuals who “live with such fear”........just sayin’.
I suppose most of this post is possible factual.
But right up front the first two point are not likely fact.

Two would get the attention of the Gander and the others would gather the goslings before they could get to the pond.
Now this is where a .223 rifle with a 30 round magazine comes in handy. I only had three breading pairs of geese I was trying to help establish, that first year, in my big ponds on the place, and half of one family was wiped out in the attack by the seven coyotes.
Next day I was ready with the Bad Ass assault rifle and with two 30 round magazines, one in a pocket, one in the Bad Ass rifle. Perched on a hillside, over looking the grain field the geese fed in, sort of on the left, and the pond on the right, 300 yard away, I lay in wait, same time of day.
They came, all seven again, as the goslings feed on my grain. I waited until the Alpha dog got the attention of one of the Ganders, while all the other geese split for the pond. Rapid fire, the Alpha dog when down, his partner next. The other were in full retreat, tail down! One more went down before the mag was empty. And out of range before I could bring the other into play.
I always felt good about that day, a good flock of Canadian Geese were establish there that day. They returned year after year while I was there, maybe 30 pair returned yearly, 150, 160 out every fall.
This dependents totally on who is being chased and chasing. I have never seen a Coyote chasing a dog, but a the dog chasing the coyote often, and then the Coyote is tail down, dog, tail up.
Now you take the same dog, and watch it being chased by another larger dog, tail down dog in the lead and hitting the after burner! Chasing dog, tail up! Observations done on MarAzul's ranch, Union County, Or.
Sounds to me like you needed a pair of good watch dogs to keep the coyotes away or an electric fence around the pond...good to hear the Geese are established now. From my hunting experience, killing the alpha male was all you needed, the others would leave...same could be accomplished with a shotgun but nice try at plugging the old rapid fire part of the story...if you want to kill the pack, you go find their home, not wait for them to come to yours would be the best tactic.
