Its a bit off the topic, but a mate of mine had an ostrich that used to look after some sheep I had at his property in South Africa. Fab watchdog, would kick the heck out of anything that came near the sheep. He used it to prevent stock theft of chickens (which was rampant) after it kicked a donkey that was in the same paddock. The donkey had it's scrotum ripped open and the testicals were hanging out for all to see. After it was castrated he had a sangoma (witchdoctor) spin a story to the local tribesmen about how the donkey got too close to the chicken run and that was the result. Stock theft dried up overnight, I guess the would be thieves did not want to be robbed of their manhood.

On the coyote issue, whatever you decide to do it might be nice to let the neighbour know you will be blasting away one night.
