Coyote in back yard

Yes, Rick is correct a large beast of a dog. My fat thumbs or auto correct got me though because it's actually Cane Corso. The other dog from the same owner (a Rottweiler) bit an appraiser 2 houses to the north less than a month later.

I love dogs but some folks aren't smart enough to own those kinds. Greatful nobody/nothing got hurt in my yard/incident.

At large, whereabouts unknown.
I'd rather square up on a yote than the giant Kane corso I found coming at me in my fenced back yard last year. Really thought that beast was going to get me. Very glad he turned tail when the first & only 380 cracked off.

Jimbo I thought you was giving the camera a full chamber moon at first. With a scope like that peering out a window maybe a better plan next time.;)
It's a good thing that you didn't shoot the dog with that 380. You might have pissed him off.

Maybe but I doubt it.:) I've used the lowly 380 on numerous outings. Never been displeased with the results it provides.

There were actually 2. A 100ish lb female from 2 doors down & the big male(had to be pushing 130+) from next door. Anyway, heard my little black lab barking. Him being the sneaky silent type I went out to see what's happening. No more than got out the door & the big one was coming at me I had my arm out but no bite sleeve. Hollered at it..still coming..

Happens in a split second.

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
You know what the biggest problem with dogs is? The people that own them. While I have nothing against the dogs personally, I think dropping the dog right in front of the owners that seem to delight in letting them terrorize an area would send a pretty clear message about manners and common courtesy. Of course, that's not PC these days, so I'll withdraw the motion.

Agree on the 380. Loaded right it's a far spunkier little cartridge than it gets credit for.

There are several documented accounts of the Cane Corso killing their owners. Not a breed to be taken lightly.

Sound asleep in the cabin, 4am, 4 miles in off the black top. 1.3 miles past the gravel town road. Wake up to "crunch, crunch, crunch." All sleepy eyed and groggy. -25 degrees out. Fisher Grandpa III wood stove nicely full of coals. Roll out of the rack always sleep au naturale. Finally decide that what I'm hearing is chewing. Gotta be a porky. Now I leave most every thing alone unless it trespasses on the curtilage, but this sounded like it was chewing on my hand hewn beam door frame. Grabbed the Iver Johnson pine squirrel, get outa my bird feeder .410, slipped on a pair of Tingley rubber boots, opened the door and darned near stepped right on the porky. He turned his head, looked up, and probably thought "aw chit", I had to wait for him to waddle off the porch so's as to not mess up the planking.

An old hunting buddy of mine once had porkies destroy an old cabin he owned in the UP of Michigan. He would stop whatever he was doing when he crossed a porky track to hunt them down and kill them. The man held a powerful grudge.

Jimbo,
Your wife and mine would have plenty to talk about! We used to have a bear problem here, and I made several forays like that. That was pre-cell phone era, or she would have posted it to Face Book!
I've been know to stop on the interstate and pick up road killed fox, coon, coyote, and even a Bobcat once. A good trip it pays the gas.
