What's best for golf course carry? Coyotes attack man and dog in Milton.

[StevieP]

That's about the most justifiable thing I could think of. Can't imagine any DA prosecuting that. But then, I'm not a DA, so.....

 

[whatluck]

This is an honest question.

What would have happened if this gentleman was an LTC holder and he decided to pull a firearm and shoot one or more of these coyotes? Would he be a in legal trouble or would this be justifiable?

(IMHO he would be in serious trouble but I wonder on other's opinions in MA.)

Depends on where. If you cap a coyote in Plymouth I'm sure nobody would care. Brookline, however....

 

[Radtekk]

You'd need BIG pockets but I'm reasonably certain it would get the job DONE.

How about a couple steaks or lamb chops in your cooler?
Try nice first??!!

How about letting the coyotes continue biting the antis.
Coyotes serve humanity better than liberals.

 

[Len-2A Training]

Only in MA. Not an issue for me.

Since this happened in Milton, MA, we need to deal with MA laws as dumb as they are.

Until he/dog have bite marks you'd be in big legal trouble shooting too early. After being bitten, I'd expect he wouldn't be convicted if not in Brookline, Watertown, Cambridge or Boston.

Good point.

OC spray in your back pocket. Coyote's keen sense of smell isn't going to like even a wiff of the stuff. Otherwise pocket carry and pray the DA and your licensing authority don't prefer you die quietly like a good little victim.

 

[Glockster30]

Carry a softball bat in your bag for anyone that is that worried. A Mikon Ultra II works the best.

 

[OutdoorFanatic]

Holy Mackerel! They usually dont bother people or pets unless they're really desperate. I have packs of them around the cabin at night but they dont do much but make a lot of noise. Cant speak for the goof course but I keep the 30-30 close by at the cabin. Just fire a shot close by from just about anything and they'll leave.

 

[Varmint]

It probably was an aggressive squirrel and the guy embellished the story. Carry a .22.

 

[Enzo]

I dunno, those things are both fast, and quick. By the time you deployed the spray, I'd think you'd mostly be spraying it on yourself. Be sort of a "Broken Arrow" type of thing.

And you need to make sure you’re not down wind. Is there wind at golf courses......

 

[Rockrivr1]

It would need to be something heavy and strategically placed to help eliminate my slice.

 

[gerrycaruso]

Get a bigger dog to protect Matilda.

Years ago, I saw some British comedy, where they were out golfing, and a rabbit ran across the course. Guy reaches into the golf bag, and pulled out a SxS, and shot it.

Shotgun Joe would approve!

 

[MMArtist]

Any handgun that would fit in your golf bag.

As far as shooting a coyote and worrying about getting in trouble.. .

 

[Spanz]

any long barrel .22 pistol will do the job. Its only a coyote. and being on a golf course, you do not want big bangs going down.

But are you SURE they are coyote, and not a bigfoot encounter? .50 bmg would be useful then.....

 

[Spanz]

remember, just say this...

 

[MGnoob]

Wouldn't it be easier to pass a law banning coyote attacks?We could just mail a letter to all the coyotes. Problem solved.
Or perhaps a taxpayer funded program to feed the coyotes and passing a law preventing shooting coyotes...i mean do you expect these poor animals to not "stand their ground" against us evil humans.

 

[Broc]

Kahr.

 

[smokey-seven]

A 12 gauge in the golf bag sounds reasonable to me.

I'd think it would be better to ban golf courses. Silly game and the land is such a waste of a rifle range. Besides, comparing the golfers I know to the coyotes I've seen, I prefer the 'yote.

Actually I'm looking forward to taking up golf when I'm too old to do anything fun, which isn't all that far off.

Plus they don't complain when you shoot at 'em. Damn golfers always get pissed off about it.
