Unless you are a very good shot that 22 is not going to do you much good. You could hit the coyote and not kill it. You need a bigger weapon. If, God forbid, the coyote had been rabid, he could have come for you. It happened to a friend of ours. The animal had gotten under her porch.

Pedro kept going by a bush and I kept making him get away from it. He finally decided to do his business not too far from there and his brothers who were finished decided to check him out and see what the hold up was when a coyote stepped out from behind the bush and grabbed Cisco in his mouth. Between the screaming, wriggling puppy and the crazy screaming woman running at him, he dropped the puppy. All but one headed to the porch and then Mama Woo took after the coyote. I had to stop her and get Gordo who was frozen in fear. Pedro was screaming like he had been the one in it's mouth. Poor little Cisco was in shock. He wasn't bleeding anywhere but has bruised ribs. He has required holding all day and the others have needed extra attention too. They come right to me now instead of playing hard to get. They are all afraid to go out to potty now. Thankfully everyone is in one piece. I loaded my 22.

We've even had Coyote problems in our golf course community due to this summer's drought. A neighbor lost a little poodle to a coyote just a couple of weeks ago. Glad everyone is okay at your house...scary!

I could just visualize the whole panic scene, even down to the puppy screams. Guess all's well that ends well, but you probably will have a hard time getting them to go out to potty anymore.
