We have coyotes in our neighborhood. If I had to whack one, is this strong enough?

Yes - I live where many coyotes share the environment. I never had to whack one - but see them all of the time all over my area, in my yard; etc. I think if you had to this walking stick is strong enough.

Whack away my friend. I really do not think that this stick would break hitting a coyote. Hitting a javalina hog may not be a good idea, RUN? Hickory is a strong wood that does not break easily.

In my opinion, it is thick & strong enough to withstand a good "whack" - however, I defer to coyote experts as to whether that would be sufficient to protect you from a marauding coyote!

It not too strong for dogs. I used it to protect deer from vegetable garden

I would not consider it rodent, raccoon, or bear resistant. The old GI steel ammo cans will be more reliable for your purpose.

It will easily kill a rabbit or squirrel but coons are tough. A head shot is a must and you have to be no longer than about 30 yards.

I wouldn't doubt you could easily take down a rabbit, squirrel, bird or any small game for that matter. I have yet to try but judging by the velocity I'm pretty sure its safe to say this item can easily be lethal specially to rabbits I believe, yes!

In my experience, this air gun does not have enough power to kill a rabbit unless at extremely close range. It will however serve to chase them away and in worse case, severely wound but not kill the animal.

Yes, we have ours mounted at about 20 feet above our deck and it will pick up our dogs. It also comes on inexplicably in the middle of the night. We guess it picks up birds or bats or some other creature.

altho this crossbow for its size is fun to shoot and it will shoot a ways, i would never recommend shooting a coyote or any other animal with it. for one, its not pin point accurate, and two, if you wound the coyote, you would have to reload it and reshoot the critter. i don't think at the range close enough to hit it, you would have enough time to do that before the coyote got to you. and a wounded one would tear your ass up before you could do that. i like shooting the aluminum bolts that the site offers. they really are heavy and will go into a 2 by piece of wood deep enough that its hard to get em back out from say 25-30 yards. altho this crossbow for its size is fun to shoot and it will shoot a ways, i would never recommend shooting a coyote or any other animal with it. for one, its not pin point accurate, and two, if you wound the coyote, you would have to reload it and reshoot the critter. i don't think at the range close enough to hit it, you would have enough time to do that before the coyote got to you. and a wounded one would tear your ass up before you could do that. i like shooting the aluminum bolts that the site offers. they really are heavy and will go into a 2 by piece of wood deep enough that its... » Read More altho this crossbow for its size is fun to shoot and it will shoot a ways, i would never recommend shooting a coyote or any other animal with it. for one, its not pin point accurate, and two, if you wound the coyote, you would have to reload it and reshoot the critter. i don't think at the range close enough to hit it, you would have enough time to do that before the coyote got to you. and a wounded one would tear your ass up before you could do that. i like shooting the aluminum bolts that the site offers. they really are heavy and will go into a 2 by piece of wood deep enough that its hard to get em back out from say 25-30 yards. « Show Less

I have not used this with squirrels but if I have another issue with them chewing on my house I will. I think it's powerful enough to do the job. Hopefully you won't find the neighbor's cat inside.

I say it is strong enough. But, since you're a bit worried. You are better off reinforce it use some packaging tapes.

I have routinely used mine since purchasing to rid squirrels from my backyard, and they are pretty resilient, so I'm positive it is powerful enough to take your crows out.
2278003
Yes I think it would. It is pretty strong. I think as long as you don't have too long of spaces between the fence posts it should be all right. You may want to double it up too make it stronger. Hope this helps. Have only used ours as a cover for berries to keep birds and squirrels out.

Absolutely, strong enough. My kid was stronger than any kid I have ever seen and he couldn't knock it down.

Hi,The Yard Sentinel is very effective against Coyotes. We would recommend using the cat/dog range indicated on the frequency unit as a guideline for setting the unit for dogs.Rick JCustomer serviceDeal Republic

Great Rifle....lots of power but I do not believe that it would bring down something the size of a coyote.

squirrels and rabbits should. be in fear if you have a decent aim. pigeons hit the barnfloor as fast as gravity can pull them. no holes in the roof if you miss. raccoons and Skunks will be a problem. Opossums ack like you killed them I'm not sure about cats would definitely make them think seriously about digging in the flower beds. some of those nasty old Toms can take a pretty good beating and come back for more. it is far quieter than. a .22 with suppressor. neighbors woun't know you are shotting in town should work well for Crow reduction. Happy Hunting.

i use it for just that exact reason right now. i live in a desert area with coyotes and other critters. of course if you press the "zap" button before they get to you it may scare them or tell them "hey, back off!" and that would be best, but if you do get attacked it will only affect the person or animal you are trying to defend from. in other words you wont get shocked if the animal or person is on you/in contact with you when you zap them.
