I ain't ever seen a single coyote bad enough to kill a large dog ever, My cur dogs trash on them some times and about any cur dog can whoop these little coyotes we have ( 40lbs average ) my old dog cowboy would kill singles if they were dumb enough to stay and fight him. I think they get blamed a lot for missing dogs that they had nothing to do with. Maybe ya'll have bigger/tougher coyotes than me but packs here won't even stand to fight a single dog, they will bogger bark until your dogs build to them then there gone. We have lot's of Wolf ( coyote ) hunters here though and yotes fear dogs for good reason, it's run or die.
I tend to agree with you on this topic. Back about 6 years ago I used to deer hunt on a lil peice family land around Groveton, and would sleep next to the fire by myself for weeks at a time, ahh the good ol days. Anyway my old heavyweight Catahoula Gator would sleep next to me until I got up to go hunting when he went on the chain. Well one day I was stalking some doe thru the woods when I heard some awful racket back at camp, the doe's took off and so did i. When i got back i saw gator happy as a clam and a dead coyote, the yote had come for a free meal and bit off more than he could chew. I drug him off and dumped him and looked over gator. Two nights later I woke up to the sounds of a nasty brawl, I got the spotlight out just in time to see him crunch another lil male yote. Went to grab him and found 2 dead ones!
