This afternoon my friend and I went to feed the pigs in the training pen and do some work on his barn...we rode his tractor with the corn and after we dropped the corn we stood around and talked for a little while when all of a sudden we heard a small shoat just a squealing non stop about 75 yards away deeper in the palmettoes/woods...right away I said bobcat because it was total silence the whole time prior and during. We saw three young hogs run by the pen as we started easing towards the squealing pig...we didn't go 40 or 50 yards when the squealing stopped and then started and then stopped again. we stopped to listen and here comes this 8-10 pound shoat and stops next to us and then takes off in the same direction as the other pigs...a few seconds later we hear something busting through the woods and here comes a young coyote and takes off runing like a scalded ape once he sees us...
I have seen coyotes hunting along with our dogs at night a few times...I have seen coyote scat in the past that had pig hair in it but back then I thought they were eating road kill or what someone had killed...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

I have heard the coyotes catch and kill pigs in the woods across from my house when I've been hunting a few times.They hunt in a pack here and they're pretty large.You'll hear them yipin and communicating and you'll hear squealing for a short time. They've also ran a pup straight back to me trying to get him. I believe that they're crossed with kanger wolf over here on the east coast and they're are some pretty large dogs.

This is crazy, i put a small pig in a pen today by itself. Just a couple hours ago a bunchof coyotes exploded so loud it startled me. My dog's went nuts, I went outside to see what was going on and when I opened the door it was so loud it woke my wife up. I can't say they were after that little pig but that's the general area it was in and that's only about 30 yards from my house. We have a boat load of coyotes around here and I've heard them all my life, but never like that. I cut the light on and everything went silent. Walked down to the pen but I didn'tsee anything. Been thinking hard about some steel traps.

Yotes will catch and eat anything he can. Even a big pig faced with enough yotes could have a bad day. I figure the piglets and shoats catch the most trouble tho. Just as in any predator the young old and injured make the best target.

My brother and uncle actually took a video of a coyote baying a hog the other day at the lease. the coyote was not putting off much mouth but he was barking at the hog in the creek. Sometimes I believe the coyote numbers being so high since the ole timers don't really trap em no more,, is the cause to most of our problems to running hogs that don't bay.

Was hunting by myself 1 day caught a good sow in the edge of a slough, while I was tying her I herd my ol Clyde dog bark 1 time and then he caught. It took me a few minutes to get to him, started to him had to walk around a big blown down oak Clyde had that shoat by the ear and coyote had him by the back leg! It was actually funny as hell cuz when I walked up the coyote let go and ran off and Clyde let go of the shoat with a stupid look on his face Like where's he going thought he was helping! LMAO it was 1 of them things if you hadn't have seen it you wouldn't believe it.
