CM9 vs Coyote?

[Russ]

[QUOTE=Fxstchewy;193405]Would the CM9/PM9 make a good up close/defense coyote weapon with the right ammo? as of lately our area has seen a big increase in yotes, i bike alot in the woods and am thinking of carrying my CM with me, neighbor was hunting and said 5-6 yotes got 40-50yds from him and they didn't seem to scared of him, said he RAN out of the area.
What ammo would you recommend? Thanks.[/QU

Pepper spray is more effective. I have a compact size with a velcro strap that can be attached on bike handle bar.

I'm with several of the other posters...shoot every one of the murdering #@! that you can...they are extremely proficient killers and virtually impossible to eradicate. It has been said that if the world ever experienced nuclear annihilation, the only two creatures that would survive would be coyotes and cockroaches. Around here, they are still paying bounties on them. - memtb

PS: While you are at it, kill off a few wolves...we have far too many of them!

Canada won't let you bring your CCW with you, so I stay away from places like that. I also don't go hiking in places where I'm not necessarily at the top of the food chain... without a good sidearm!

Solitary hiking and communing with nature might get you a little closer to critters who don't KNOW that they should NOT eat you!

People have been saying that wolves don't attack people, either, but that's BS! Try telling that to the Rooskies that were disarmed after the Communists took over. They couldn't protect their flocks... or even their children or themselves from hungry wolves!! They are opportunists and will eat anything that they feel strong enough to bring down, especially in packs.

For coyote , I would use a 115 or 124 grain HP.

I just love that Rick Perry story. I feel sorry for the two dogs that the owner would not try to save.

When camping, I have had coyotes come to about 25 yards from camp. I think they smelled our food. They howled and yipped. I left them alone.

If they came closer it could have been different. I as carrying a cw45 at the time.

Believe it or not, we have coyotes here in Florida. Yup.

The problem we have with coyotes are that they are semi-predatory and they will kill unwary pets or livestock. We used to have them right her in town - so much for running from humans... they learned that humans have food in their garbage, and that humans have little dogs that put up crazy stands against a coyote.

In the last few years there have been several cases of kids being attacked but I haven't heard of an adult. That could change in the future coyotes can quickly adapt to just about any prey source. Where I live in the last few years there is more deer then small game. The coyotes have learned to take down full sized deer. Frankly, it would be easier to take down the average human then a deer. What they are great at killing is dogs, any time I'm hiking with my dog I take a gun. What worries me is we now have mountain lions, one hit by a car a few miles form my house in Kansas City, and the first confirmed wolves in Norther Missouri.
