Dog Hunting

[Great-Kazoo]

DOW told me when we had one of our dogs off leash this: A dog off leash in the state, national parks or forest are considered wild and will be shot. Check with them and get a name, date and time to CYA.
As for cats they are considered "wild" or "feral" since they are not leashed animals and cannot be disposed of through means other than trapping.
Now a dog of any stature that appears to be menacing children or other humans would be considered wild and dealt with as seen fit at the time of contact. YMMV

I agree that you've lost enough already. Plus with your little ones and these animals not being afraid of people, its really only a matter of time until something REALLY bad happens. You've got some little, little ones too. I would take care of these ASAP.

Don't know how much food is around for these guys, other than your livestock, but as soon as they start to get hungry, they get even bolder. We've had similar things happen in Wyoming when I grew up on the ranch. The sooner you get rid of these the better.

These look like 60-80lb Coyotes,some are a little darker.

Saw a pair of what looked like GIANT coyotes or wolves down by Westcliff a couple years ago. Same thing, had to have been 80lbs or so. Stood 10 feet in front of my truck and didn't move until I opened the door (I was going to shoot them ) They looked more like wolves but I didn't think we had any in Colorado so I thought I'd be safe shooting them...sadly they ran before I could get a shot off...
