[QUOTE="Oi.223, post: 1607568, member: 107540"] The issue to me is numbers. I hunt a lot in Neb and Ks. We have two large labs. One at 85 lbs and one at 100 lbs. Both males and both in great shape. The ranchers we stay with recommend that we put our dogs up for the night. DO NOT tie them out. If we do leave them out, leave them free. Their comments are as follows: one coyote (30-50lbs) will not attack dogs of this size. Two coyotes (30-50lbs) may or may not attack the dogs but probably not. Size does matter. Three or more coyotes that are determined to stake out their area would attack our dogs and the fight would undoubtedly favor the smaller coyotes. Numbers do matter. I have personally seen large dogs chase and try to kill coyotes. Single coyotes. Its sorta like a dog fight. Two dogs can easily defeat one other dog except maybe the fighting breeds which have no fear and no give up. Our labs are huge. The fangs on the 100 lb lab are over 1.25 inches in Length. Comparable to that of a small coyote but still has 100 lbs to 40 lbs average for the coyote. Put your dogs up unless they are used for keeping coyotes away but be prepared to lose them to a pack.
