Conservative Scalawag, amused by a local news report on pet eating coyote troubles in suburban Atlanta that recommends swinging a broom at the varmints, tells us how to deal with the problem in a proper manner:
I will be over on my side of fence with a Ruger 10/22 with a suppressor practicing the 3 S’s. Shoot, shovel, and shut-up. This is the proper way to handle coyotes folks.
Sounds like a good way to piss off PETA, which is a good reason to be for it.
UPDATE: Link fixed
Elmer Keith always said the .270 Winchester was a damned adequate coyote rifle though he denied it was good for much else.
A 12 gauge loaded with #4 buck fired through an open door or window works great if you can get it done with one shot. The neighbors can’t locate the source if they don’t actually see you.
Bad link, partner, but looks like a good one.
