Saw this on an outdoors website and thought it was worth sharing. Technically not about hunting or shooting but it could be[

Melissa Rowley left her children playing in the front yard for only a moment to step into her house.

There have been three coyote attacks on small children Southern California in the past five days. On Tuesday a coyote grabbed the 2-year-old by the head and tried to drag her towards the street.

When she came back a coyote was dragging her daughter away.
It was the third time in five days a coyote had posed a threat to a small child in Southern California, San Bernardino Sheriff's spokeswoman Arden Wiltshire said.
The coyote grabbed the 2-year-old by the head and tried to drag her towards the street in the mountain community of Lake Arrowhead on Tuesday.
When Rowley came out of the house and ran toward her daughter, the animal released the girl and ran away.
Rowley took her daughter to a hospital where the toddler was treated for several puncture wounds to the head and neck area, and a laceration on her mouth.
She was then flown to Loma Linda University Hospital for further treatment, although her injuries were not life-threatening. She was released from the hospital Wednesday afternoon and is expected to fully recover.

deal there. The DWR could attempt to control them but the tree huggers would cry animal cruelty or some BS. Same with the loins out there.[mad]
