Even if the coyotes can’t get to the chickens, they are causing the chickens stress and anxiety.
Guaranteed that is happening.
Anxious chickens can die but usually stop laying eggs which doesn't help anyone lol
@@Kholoured had a lot of racoon traffic stressing my birds out
ķm
Don't be afraid to use a larger caliber as a 22 drops pretty fast and you probably need a little more yardage because more than likely they won't come in all that close. But there's advantages to calling coyotes in during the day. If nothing else set a trap around your chickens and that 22 will work just fine in the morning. lol
Dying rabbit call works very well for coyotes! That's called predation hunting or pest/varmit control so most states allow it to protect your crop whether it's grapes or calves
Yup, and fox too.
@@skyking228 almost any predator cannot resist a hurt rabbit call including hawks and crows bobcats even a racoon
@@jasnonya3005 Kodiak brown bears prefer ham and eggs frying over a campfire...
@@skyking228 I'm sure they prefer unprepared hikers even more
Here in Michigan we it redneck critter control. Shoot shovel shut up.
Hi Mike Erin & kids,I agree totally about the coyotes.Your livestock matters.Your family takes such good care of the animals.Have a great week ahead.Great video.🌷💕🌷
Thank you Linda. Hope you have a good weekend also.
Yup. And pew is much better than feeding them stuff to do the job.
We have had a horrible problem with coyotes in the last few years. They were getting my barn cats right outside my back door. I've gone from a cat pack of about 20 down to 3 tomcat kittens and 1 female kitten. The mice and snakes are now getting bolder and raiding the chicken coop as well. There are state trappers here that we can call and have them come out. I know that a rancher not 2 miles from me almost lost her 2 dogs and has had to chase them off newborn calves this past year. Good Luck!
We are having the exact same problem right now just this week we have lost 2 of our beautiful ducks and one of our Easter egg green egg laying chickens! One of my ducks is missing an eye From the Coyote but manage to escape. I can hear them yeeping and howling at night thank you so much for that info on using that red lens on my flashlight I had no idea what that thing was for.And the app that makes the Coyote sounds will be helpful as well! Tonight I'm going hunting ! I am an animal lover and I understand that they have to eat but they are killing my food and I'm not gonna compete with lower creatures on the food Chain for food! I'm an extremely peaceful person but don't mess with someone I love or my food! Anyway thank you for your channel we have been subscribers for about 3 years now !😊
If. There was. And should there have been. An effective. Sensible. Simple. And cost-effective manner to rid areas of canine-type pests. Would it have been introduced. So for up to now. Was none known.
Although. Did I personally rid 2,400 hectares of game farm land from any remaining black backed jackal. About three decades ago. So is the proof in the pudding.
Matters exclude any kind or sort of poison. No shooting. No trapping. Or any laborious tasks. Is raptor friendly. Most cost-effective in relation to magnitude. And the mentioned excursion proves effectiveness. So am I offering consultancy as to how it is done.
So can the modus operandi be made public. Without any State or Federal approval. Although do I deem it wise to attempt reaching mutual consensus.
If there is anyone able to set up an appropriate link can a coyote infestation. Anywhere. Be nipped in the bud!
Surprised UA-cam didn't freak out over this video. But predators are a real problem and you cannot trap and relocate all of the varmints.
Part of the liberal media without a doubt.
Oh, what a beautiful morning!!!! Thanks Mike. Love it.
Sweet little Marty!🥰 I love that little girl❤ She sure loves for you to stop and pet her!! My fingers are crossed she's a keeper whether fertile or not!🤞
The first light view is just stunning!!!
Anything mike n Erin do I find fun entertaining.and informative even the tough jobs I am fascinated by their work and commitment
Another grand adventure.. tysm for another teaching moment
Wounded rabbit call works really well around where I live being that that is there main prey around here
That one works best for me.
Git her done !!! Love the videos, music, scenery. Always entertaining, educational. Thank you Our Wyoming Life for taking us on your journey !
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching Denise.
Thanks for sharing our wyoming life have a great day and week.
Thanks, you too!
Your welcome 👍
Just keep trying Mike, he will do the same.. nice to see Marty. Be safe and God bless you and yours.
Hi to Our Wyoming Life and all others too ! Thanks For Sharing All These Good Videos And Beyond The Ranch Lives , everyone have a fantastic and bless week! Prayers And Hugs😍😍😍😍
Our pleasure Wykeisha!
We've had some coyote issues, also, my wife watched one grab a chicken and take off with it. Taking care of the livestock means doing what it takes to protect them from all kinds of predators. Sure like watching your calves pester you, Marty especially. Good one Mike, thanks for sharing, have an awesome week.
Do what you have to, Mike. I've had a lot of problems with tree squirrels this year, ripping out all the new flowers I planted. Since I live in the city, I can't shoot them. One tried to climb my pant leg once! Wild animals can be dangerous, they can be rabid. I too would be concerned about the baby calves. Thanks for showing up Marty again. She is growing, but still very special. Be Blessed!
Sounds you need some bitter apple spray! Its harmless get it at the pet store! You can add some Lemon to it! Gives them a bad taste in the mouth! It'll keep them away from you! Sounds like they have lost there fear of people. Someone is feeding them! Isn't it cute he's crawling on my hand! , Bite! And they don't know why! Maybe it's because it's a wild animal! Always and for most! There doing a disservice because the squirrels will not gather for the winter.
Probably not feasible in your operation but I've heard of ranchers and Farmers using donkeys. They hate wolves and coyotes.
I adore Marty! Marty thinks she's Bean's sister, acts like a puppy dog. LOL!! She is so ADORABLE!
Varmint control is important to any rancher.
If you dont control them, the animals suffer thats for sure.
Yes sir. I think a 70 grain 243 injection is best.
Wow, your calves are looking good, they’re growing well and hopefully will wean heavy for you. Protecting them and your other livestock is an important part of ranching…..keep on keepin on, you’ll either get those ‘yotes, or run em off. And either one protects the critters on your ranch . 👍🏼
Good morning I love your sunrise it's so beautiful ❤️❤️ I had one in my back yard here in Florida it was trying to get my dog.
Sorry to hear that Nita. Hopefully, your problem got resolved.
My dogs went nuts when I played this video!
You have some of the best music 🎶 on your videos. Thank you
Glad you like my selections. Thanks for watching Erma.
I truly admire your dedication and stamina. Listening to the Bluetooth Coyote recording would have unnerved me, You're the Man!
beautiful sky and cattle
Nice information, thanks
I dont live on our family farm anymore, but I do live smack in the middle of BFE in TN... deer, snakes, critters, and several groups of coyote out here... we have 2 doggos, one senior and one pupper... Coyote tried to get them twice... thankfully when I go out with them at night and or first light, I carry... albeit, its usually my 9mm that I carry anyway... Ive gotten 4 coyote in the 2 years we have been out here... the hubby got 2 just leaving the driveway for work... these dudes arent a joke... and it dont help we have a pond and deer hide out here... be safe!
Love that song. Old dirt road 😊
I love watching your videos. In the nine years that we’ve had animals out here, I’ve never lost a single sheep or goat or cow or chicken to the coyotes. We have lots of coyotes, but for some reason we’ve not lost an animal to them. Oh yeah… We’ve always had German Shepherds on the property. God bless you, Mike.
I love this show.
Morning is such a pretty time of day on the ranch.
I live in Great Britain so my poor Cockapoodle was like wtf when you played the Coyotes playlist
Too funny. 😂😂
Great video Mike
Love your choice in music the old dirt road . How appropriate is that out there as you travel through the Prairie 😊
another great video thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it Jim.
The braver they get the more friends they bring with them. They are cunning
Gonna do everything in my power to minimize the attraction of the Ranch. Thanks for watching Teresa.
@@OurWyomingLife We need you in charge of our borders!
Love your selections of music! Coyotes can be a huge headache!
Great video!❤❤
Good days’ work! Happy cows, happy life. Lol. Love your videos.
Thanks for watching Jodi.
I hope you get the coyotes. Marty is so cute and sweet. Love all the videos
Good work. Coyotes are a problem on our farm to .
Thanks, I tried this AM, always another day. Thanks for watching.
@@OurWyomingLife yes always another day. Thanks for sharing.
Good job Mike. Luv how u r so Gentle with the Cows and the rest of the Animals. Ur experience is incredible. Hope the Coyote's stay away from the Animals. It makes me Cringe to think of them Stalking the Animals. Good u have the Scope on that Rifle, as they r hard to miss. Thank u so much for sharing!
Hey! Nice hat!
Mike, it may be worth checking with both the local fish and wildlife as well as the district agricultural offices to see if their predator specialists could review the ranch layout and recommend any other cost effective practices which discourage coyotes from considering ranch livestock as easy meals. As for the rifle, I’d go with a more powerful cartridge as others have suggested. I’d also check with your neighboring ranchers to see what effective coyote prevention practices they employ.
In Wyoming we hunt them that's the best way to part with them
We handle our own issues here 99.9% of the time here.
Three S’s in Texas…shoot, shovel, and shut up. We’ve not had any issues with them but a few of our dogs are pit mixes. Sweet dogs but coyotes are no trouble for them to keep ran off. Coyotes are smart enough to avoid them. Wolves would be another matter but we don’t see them around here. Our major issue is feral hogs. Those we have to either trap or shoot. A big sow is just too damn mean. She’s liable to stand and fight as move on. Like coyotes, there isn’t a season or bag limit on them.
Interestingly, a coyote will almost double it's yearly estrus when hunted. Big white dogs are a great option. Coyotes hate big white dogs. They will go elsewhere. A fit healthy Pyrenees (not fat like the city dogs) is an amazing tool.
What a beautiful sunrise. I’m not a farmer by no means but I do understand your need to protect your property and your way of supporting your financial income. These days you have to take care of what is yours.
That graduation speech by a Navy Seal is a great one!
Glad you got "some" rain.
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
I have coyotes. They are born cowards. Very leary and careful around humans.
Thank you for sharing.
They seem brave when they're the only thing around. Thanks for watching Dr Mark
Thermal Scopes are a game changer. It’s well worth the 1k investment . Get a great electronic game call over the Bluetooth speaker.
love seeing the bottle calf babies. No good having worried animals on the farm so hope you get rid of them coyotes soon before the calving starts. Good luck.
Thanks Angie the bottle calfs are doing well. Im pretty confident that I will get 'em prior to calving season. Thanks for watching.
HI from Mesa AZ
That tall grass at the end of summer is so damn beautiful! And yeah.. coyotes.. youre making the right move there Mike!
Looking forward to the Mike and Josh (Stoney ridge farmer) episode!
That was one sweet calf. I could not eat it. Beautiful.
That's right Mike you're protecting your livestock
Mike I know how you feel. When my sows farrow I have killed as many as 22 in one day not counting the one my sow or LGA killed the same day. Some in daylight some in the dark. Best of luck Really enjoy all your posts
Oh my goodness, just watching you get ready to hopefully shoot a coyote, sorta made me chuckle.just today, I dug out all my hunting gear, got it washed, and then of course,it rained the remainder of the day. Our hunting season is the month of November, ending the weekend of Thanksgiving. Annually, about this time of the year, we launder everything, and then hang it outside, to get any soap smell off, and then it just smells like the outdoors. Deer can smell humans, so we do what we can, to deter our scent. Being that I am 79, I’m going to give my gear to one of my granddaughters, as she loves hunting. I am, however going to keep my 22, as we have coyotes out and around my back yard. I used to hunt with a 30-06, one of my sons has that rifle. I enjoyed watching you gather up the cattle, and put them all together in one pasture. It tickles me, when they all seem to know where to go. Have a safe and great week! Bev in Maine
Farmers - and Livestock - Lives Matter
Hahaha
The new farm format while easier straight to beef formula no more auctions will hurt videos and the channel a lot. Way less calf births way less snowy winter drama.
One good thing to do is to if the wind is blowing trying to keep your scent from blowing towards the way you think the coyotes are coming your scent can keep them skidish
I recommend getting either a thermal or night vision scope for activity like this for the ranch it will make it much easier to track and deal with the animal problem than just relying on a flashlight as the animal will not have something to potentially look out for in the future
Lucky mike lives in a state that lets you have one. California has banned thermal scopes.
This is very effective not cheap but well worth it. Especially with high end stock.
He doesn’t even like guns why would he spend money on gun accessories. 😂😂
@@Theghostofpeter commifornia.
@@JLC87420, yes that is the least of the name I would call this state..
Mike, coyotes are a royal pain. We have them here as well. Usually we hear them at night, and real early in the morning. Every couple of days, we catch one on the critter camera around 830AM cutting through our property. We have farms, and ranches all around us doing exactly the same. Getting rid of the problem. Kiddos need to be careful when outside around the barn early in the morning.
nice choice for a firearm ive got the same one with what looks like the same scope works well for the money
3 miles... Holy smokes how many acres in total for your operation!? I thought my 6 acres was a lot to tend to! 😏 Sheesh! I grew up on a section of land just outside of Paris Texas that was the biggest ranch I ever got to ride lots of horses on, just play and enjoying being wild and free! Best years of my life! I wish I could go back in time!
Hey Mike, love watching your channel. I totally agree that your livestock and barn cats/house cats have priority. May I suggest also the Great Pyrenees breed to help protect your farm?? they are great family dogs as well as protectors of the "Flock" Loved seeing Marty, she sure remembers who gave her the bottles. LOL take care and see ya on the next one.
Hello, Mike. I wish you luck with the coyote hunt. Have you thought about putting the Red Light up higher on the barn to get a wider field of view? Also, it would make the ‘Caller’ less visible to the coyote. And you looked very visible in the open barn. Maybe put a structure of some type to hide behind; might leave it there a week or more so the coyotes become accustomed to it and won’t be nervous about it. Possibly could improve your chances of some kills! Hope everything gets better and good wishes to You, Erin, Jeff, and all the Kids! From here in North Central Texas at Seymour, Texas, Keep Safe & Healthy!!
It must be the year. I live just outside Toronto in Oakville and we, as well as the next city, are having many problems with coyotes. There were 8 attacks just this past weekend. Some of the coyotes I have seen walking the streets are really large; and yes they walk the neighbourhoods in the daylight. They are attacking people as well as any small animals.
Out in the western parts of the US someone found that coyotes were interbreeding with wolves. But interbreeding with feral dogs is also a possibility. May need to get professionals to eliminate them
My husband and I call coyotes. We go out west every chance we get but they're thick here in Iowa too. They're smart. Good luck!
The best solution to coyotes is to slightly increase the lead content in the environment. 😉
I agree with ya there.
Yup. If the .22 isn’t cutting it, the .17HMR is a fantastic round that will really reach out and touch something.
@@OurWyomingLife Move the caller out to 50 yrds or more take the rat gun and put it away. take your deer rifle and remove the problem they can be called night or all day.
I can totally use coyote sounds to help train my livestock guardian dogs to help protect my homestead! Great idea!
Oh boy, get your finger ready on the "block" button. Hope ya catch them, got to protect your ranch. Great video!
Them are good Rifles Man..
Your right it was my first rifle too.
we got one in our front yard about a month ago..i heard a pack at the barn the other night about 50-75ft from our house..they are getting bad around here to !
Coyotes can be a real nuisance and a danger if not controlled. Good Luck with taking care of your problem, and thanks for watching.
Coyotes yipping creeps me out. I used to hear them when I stayed at my grandparents farm. I hope the goose is ok.
Understand that. Hearing them isnt a welcome sound here. The goose is gonna be OK, wing is a little messed up thats it. Thanks for watching Val.
We have coyotes all around us here in Marshall county Oklahoma
P.S. Maybe try a Rabbit Call to attract them. There have been Varmint Hunting Contests here in Texas and some of my friends were using that type of call a lot. Good Luck!
I just knew someone would think it wrong to kill coyotes. I remember a rancher tell the veterinarian he found a litter of them in his pasture. Got the real story about the danger to children, pets . They are so brave they are on the beaches and subdivisions . They will take a small dog from your yards
Yes, Im sure some people will, but I'd bet they dont understand what dangers Coyotes can and do present to a family pet, livestock or even to people. Thanks for watching Miss Carmen.
@@OurWyomingLife We have controlled coyote hunts in our area of Minnesota. The hunters here are licensed to "take" a certain number of coyotes and it sure has helped everyone. The hunters get paid a certain amount per hide/pelt. Every rancher who has animals, has to take care of those animals, & do what needs to be done to make sure their animals and families are safe!! 👍
It’s your livestock your land you do NOT need to explain!
People if your not getting WHY they NEED to get these animals out of their barn yard and keep track of the cattle out in the fields they can bring MORE it becomes a Buffay for coyotes possibly wolves and any other predator animals that are out there it’s just a hudge problem if not nipped in the bud!
So happy to see everything progressing !
And I miss seeing the kids they are funny and more of Erin she’s so amazing, so are you and ranch hand of the years!!!!
Love and Light 💡

Too bad the coyote didn't show it's ugly head this morning. Moving the cattle looked like it went very smoothly. Marty still enjoys seeing you and is very friendly. Looks like she still wants her bottle....lol. Keep up the excellent job. Enjoy all the videos. Blessings
You are quite correct. Livestock does deserve quality of life. I grieved when I had to let my fair animals go but in my heart I always knew it was the right thing to do. Replacements take spots real quick. Where I'm from it's the coyotes and wolves that can cause great havoc.
Those Dang Coyotes,they have infested where I grew up . They make there Caches in the Sand,or Golf courses,Baja near the Water . I'm not sure they go to the Beach too fish at Night lol. But all around 😫.
Sorry they slipped you , you'll get em👊.
I'm glad there is more feed this year for the Cows 🐦.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
The bottle babies are like your mom! Lol. Lolol. Haha!
Crazy question any chance of a meat chicken cam like the goat cam I think it would be cool if you would chickens can be quite fun to watch with the added benefit of maybe being able to see when you're little yote is coming in. 🐔 📷
Those machines that move left and right you can put a tail on them or feather then use a sound works good
Check out Jackson Galaxy's UA-cam channel & his merch.
He highlighted this motion activated canister that sprays water, to discourage neighborhood cats from coming around.
Maybe setting up one of these on each side of the chicken enclosure to spray any coyotes that come near. It just might work! Cheers, Latma.
So interesting to me right at this time, because 2 days ago a really really BIG COYOTE CAME RIGHT UP TO my back porch and my little house dog Rico alerted me! I couldn't believe the nerve of this damn coyote! It was right around high noon. I keep my 22 long rifle loaded at all times as well, and as well as my other fire arm, my Red Ruby long barrel six shooter.. It's also a 22... Gets the job done everytime if you know what you're doing!
With night vision goggles and infrared visor you can place the blue tooth box further out in the field.
After you kill one we always hung it on a fence post and it detoured the others from coming around or drag the carcass along the fence row by the house.
I like to snare coyotes when they use the same spot under the fence. I like 3/32 cable with 11" loop 11" off the ground at the bottom of the loop! Drag any dead stock over by fence about 50 feet away and let the yotes feed on it and then you will see where to set your loops.
I agree with what you are doing and why. I'm surprised the coyotes get that close to a red light. Have you tried rabbit call for coyotes?
Interested in the math you are now running now...Herd size, #s going to freezer camp, births etc. Interesting metamorphsis of your lives an business. Is there some optimal herd size you are shooting for that accounts for ongoing food production etc? Fascinating!
I live in a very small town in southern Utah. We have coyotes come in day and night. Because I live in a town I use a shotgun. My husband has always had this job but due to a severe back issue he now carries a cane. That makes shooting off hand impossible. Good luck.
Never mind you answered my question.
I would look into coyote traps you can catch a lot more faster than one at a time hunting
I don't remember, if you have covered it, do you ever put a winter crop in, maybe oats or wheat, to supplement the grass for the following year?
Just a random question: what, if any, maintenance do you have to do on all the roads and trails around the ranch?
Mike have you considered the Wyoming grassland CRP program, they pay you a rental fee to maintain the CRP program while still allowing you to graze your cattle, this is my understanding of it but wouldn’t hurt to check it out, appreciate the videos
Probably not much of a rental payment but you know as much as I do in today’s economy ever little bit helps 😁
I like using the 22 250 for them
