Did we have a bad a$$ dude on here a few years ago kill a coyote with his bare hands? Either he is at it again or there is another bad a$$ dude out there.
I think one of the Pauls brothers did that awhile back.
That's a hell of a story...wow!
My brother told his son "watch this" and surprised a sleeper and dazed it with a kick then killed it. You guys use guns down there or what do you do?
I generally prefer harsh language Adam but I guess if a guy needs a gun its okay too?!?
That is a great story, any story that ends in a dead coyote is awesome!
I've pondered that. If I was out for a walk with the kids or the new pup, and a yote tried to go for a kid, the pup or me... I think we'd all try and kill the thing with whatever we had.
I say well done to the dad!
I wonder if you could go blind from that like when you choke a chicken......
Adrenaline is an amazing thing.
A few years ago, a local jogger killed a mountain with his bare hands here in Colorado. He was cut up pretty bad, but he won the battle.
Matt
I use an ACME anvil and drop it on its head. Then in celebration I go beep beep and run away ;)
Guy must have left his carry gun at home?
Is that what the kids call it nowadays?
No small feat."Eventually' is his key word.Bet at least 10 minutes to suffocate one in snow.
tobyone, that was a hurtful description.....LOL
They are pretty bold critters sometimes. I've been shadowed on three occasions, all by the same one. The 4th time I had a rifle and now it is coyote bait.
Tried grinnin' one down once......
I was wondering the same thing Glunt. Then I checked where this happened- extreme Southeast N. H. near the Mass. border. Probably a "yuppie" family out for a walk.
Kudos to the father that did what needed to be done to protect his family!
Matt, I believe the lion was smaller than the average coyote, but looked like it was still a fair fight against a skinny trail-runner guy.
Grey that cat the jogger killed was 24 pounds still a feat but it loses some luster.
Try holding onto a 4 pound feral cat. It’s still 24 pounds of fury.
I fought a pissed off 6# barn cat. It was anyone's game for a bit.
Scoot X2. I've had some tangles with feral cats around the barn in my younger days, I'll pass on the 24# mountain lion.
I agree it was still a feat but saying he killed a mountain lion with his bare hands and he killed a mountain lion kitten with his bare hands are 2 different things. Had it been momma or daddy lion he may have fought them off but he wouldn’t have bashed its head in with a rock then stood on her throat.
Haha yeah that story gained some traction. Funny as I thought the timing of it all was pretty “lucky”, in that I’m not sure I’ll be able to do it again. But in the moment I just went for it and didn’t really think twice. Posted about it more in humour, but guys liked it more than I thought lol.
Kudos to this dad for stepping up, although I’m sure most of us fathers would too. His story makes the snuffing part seem pretty quick, (wonder if that’s how it actually played out) and although I don’t think I went into detail on it when I posted, but it took that dog that I choked a heck of a long time to finally give in. Every time I let off he “came back to life” lol. I just remember my sons expression. He still talks about it
I cant believe you guys are not letting these poor little fluffy coyotes tap out?
You know with this one being in the north east the poor guy is getting all kinds of hate for killing the poor innocent little coyote. He was just hungry.
Coyote tested positive for rabies
And some dumb ass commented that they shouldn't have been walking in the coyotes domain. Really???
Little kitty cats are no joke. I watched some jackwad pull a recently adopted siamese cat out of its carrier, figuring to give the cute little, purring bundle of fur a proper "good little kitty" welcome. I advised against it, seeing that the little feller was a bit agitated, well with their retarded collie barking into the pet carrier and all these strange faces and all.......Ignoring reason and kittys body language, this guy opens the carrier, hauls this 4 lb bundle of new joy from his half assed den and proceeds to hold the thing above and in front of his face. Kittys eyes darted back and forth a bit, then locked onto eye contact with this dumass. Pookie went ape in a microsecond. Top and bottom canines were deeply planted on either side of his nose bridge. Front claws started at the back of his ears while the rear claws flailed away at the rest of his face, from his upper lip to his sternal notch. In about 2.5 seconds, this guy was EFFED UP!
I about peed myself as we walked away from the scene....
A 25 lb kitty could kill you quick, I have no doubt. Latching onto a crazy coyote would be quite the rodeo as well, I would imagine
When a 150# cat can kill a full grown elk and drag it somewhere to eat it, I pretty much have to respect a cat of any size. Even feral kittens are savage bastards, I know, I caught one once in the road, and picked it up from under its hiding place in the leaves. It clamped down on my hand with every sharp object in its arsenal. I took it home and put it in the bathtub where it could not get out, and eventually tamed it into a really affectionate pet cat. But fierce is an understatement when they are wild. I've had to dispatch more than one wild feral cat and they are no slouches. Coyotes vs cat of the same size....my money is on the cat.
A guide for Teddy Roosevelt demonstrated how to catch a wolf using his hands. Strong enough to hold up the wolf, plus place hands back behind the teeth, able to strangle it into submission. If it was true would have been one tough dude.
Now someone killing a loggerhead snapping turtle with bare hands, they should be on WWF.
JB, if that was the case, I shouldn't be walking out the door of my house. There were coyote tracks across the lawn and driveway and up to the bird feeder by the house yesterday, from the night before. My dog checks for them every time I let him out to pee, and won't go down back until he knows the coast is clear. One time I went out to his kennel and three of them were right behind it and they would not run. They just yipped and barked at me until I went in for the shotgun. Came out and they had filtered through the brush and out of sight. Even here in the northeast, 95% of people know coyotes need to be dealt with - maybe not the citiot bunny huggers. The perception of most of the northeast by esp. westerners is severely flawed.
"while the rear claws flailed away at the rest of his face, from his upper lip to his sternal notch"
Ouch, that made me cringe because even when I'm playing with the family cat and those back legs start going, its serious hurt for the arms if they are exposed. That is with a friendly cat just playing around, so I can only imagine what his face looked like.
Ki-ke, you should be writing for Marvel Comics! Great image, you portrayed that well!
Our 2 house cats were born in my barn, then relocated and abandoned by their mother in a window well on our house. They were no larger than my hand. Holy he!!, I could not believe the fury those little buggers posessed! They bit and clawed the hell out of my hands before I finally got them indoors. I can't imagine doing battle with a mountain lion, no matter how big.
For some reason, canines don't strike the same level of fear in me. I've beaten away dogs that attacked my mutts a few times. One was a neighbor's Irish wolfhound who attacked one of my golden retrievers. I pried his jaws off my dog's throat, then pinned him to the ground until my dog could get a safe distance away. I was so amped up, I could have easily killed that dog, but I didn't because he was otherwise a cool dog. I'm not sure what caused the attack, but he never did again.
Matt
Matt - I'm convinced Dogs, somewhere deep in there, want to follow humans. Cat's dont give a ________.
Cat's also want to ambush stuff. That's what's so scary about a lion attack. You may know a wolf or a yote is coming... A lion, you probably dont know until it's on you. That makes for a tough fight anytime.
Also agree, a 8# pissed tabby is a tough customer... ANY mtn lion beats almost any person!
ki-ke………………………...LMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )
I just LOVE it when somebody thinks they know more than me...…………………………...then immediately prove otherwise! ;-)
Will, agreed. The other thing I've concluded about cats is they are flat out smarter than dogs. Our male cat loves to play pounce and chase with our dogs. He'll sneak up and pounce, then immediately run away. The dogs always give chase, but they never catch the sneaky little bugger. It always makes me laugh.
Matt
I wish I was quick enough on the uptake, like a minority at a traffic stop, to slip my cell phone up and hit video as soon as he opened that door.......I'd be earning that Diddy bread from youtube...have my own channel, be sheep hunting every year.....
Makes me want to bring that bone head another cute little kitty cat after its been worried by Embrys weiner dog for a few rounds! " Go ahead and pick 'em up, ya big jackwad!" YEEHAWWW!!!
How about the other link on there about the mountain lion grabbing the 3 year old by the neck in CA, then the Dad throwing the backpack at it saving his son. Pic of the cat up in the tree with the backpack in its mouth. Damn...thank god that was the backpack.
Years back in bugle magazine there was a story about a guy finding a dead 6x6 mature bull that had been killed and eaten on as well as a 90 pound dead female lion. He said the area looked like a war broke out there. He called fish and wildlife to bring out a CSI crew to see what happened. The results were that the 90 pound female lion had killed the bull. Another cat came along and killed the female to take over the kill. They were able to tell by the bite marks on the bull the the female killed the bull and then found the bite marks on her skull. A 90 some pound cat killing a mature bull! As big a wuss as humans are compared to wild animals a 24 pound cat could rip the crap out of us. Can you imagine being grabbed and those freaking hind legs kicking your stomach? Your guys would be like spaghetti spilling out. Like others I’ve run into feral cats. My first encounter was catching a kitten that was the size of a small Guinea pig. It bit me to the bone on my fingers plus it’s claws shredded my hand. I was about 12 at the time. Never cared to try catching another one.
Cats are psychopaths, all of them, and the ones that don't seem to be are just good at hiding it!

Surfbow they are biding there time.
Agree all the way on kitty lethality. Our rescue kitty was wild born, no early socialization evident. We've gradually overcome his early beginnings and he's now ten years old and still won't sit on my lap, but recently has taken a liking to laying on the arm of my recliner for an hour or so of occasional stroking and some exchange of purring. But the process has been a long one and had its moments.
When he was about three quarters grown we tricked him into coming into the house so I could capture him for a trip to the vet for neutering. He had ducked under a piece of furniture and before attempting to retrieve him I had put on my old field jacket and my welding gloves, as I'd handled a few cats before enough to know they'd be needed. That little critter still managed to bite through the thumb portion and stick a canine a little way into my thumb through the padded leather! And when I went to pick him up from the vet the next day, they apologized for his condition of not being well cleaned up afterwards, because they couldn't get close enough after the anesthetic had worn off.
Then a year or so later, when he had a urinary tract infection, and the wife and I thought we may have done him serious injury in wrestling him into a transporting container for a trip to a different vet, that vet took him into the exam room, and after several minutes came back into the waiting area to ask our permission to sedate him. His arms had several fresh scratches running from wrist to elbow, and we assured him that sedation would be perfectly OK.
And that's just a perfectly normal looking tabby of about eight pounds who can be found under the furniture whenever there's a stranger in the house or the sound of thunder can be heard.
I'd had cats in the household most of my life without paying a lot of attention to them. They were useful as mousers, nice to pet once in a while, and fun to scare occasionally if the chance came along, but I never got so close and really tried so hard to gain one's trust or understand their views as with this one. Fascinating critters, and the only way I'd go hand-to-paw with any of them would be as a last-ditch necessity.
They are all bit different, Russ. Our two rescued wild-born cats are hard to keep off of our laps. Our male loves to be carried around the house, while calmly purring away. The female not so much. The male also loves our dogs. He plays and even sleeps with them. The female stays in the basement, where the dogs can't go, and she only comes upstairs when the dogs are outside. 2 totally different personalities and temperaments even though they came from the same litter.
