Gov. Perry blasts 'wily' coyote

Perry says he needed just one shot from his laser-sighted pistol to take down a coyote that was menacing his dog during an early morning jog in an undeveloped area near Austin.

Perry told The Associated Press he sometimes carries his pistol, loaded with hollow-pointed bullets, when he jogs on trails because he's scared of snakes — and that he'd seen coyotes in that area.

When the coyote came out of the brush toward his daughter's labrador retriever puppy on a February jog, he charged it and shot it with his .380 Ruger pistol.

"Don't attack my dog or you might get shot ... if you're a coyote," Perry said.

1. Wow, another brave man. I've hiked in both Arizona and Texas desert areas, and never carried

anything except a walking stick. I hate and greatly fear snakes, including Gov. Perry.

3. Moral

Do not walk in uninhabited areas around Austin
for fear of snakes with guns.

4. Yeah those coyotes are scary

No way I'd be able to scare away a 30 pound flea infested wolf wannabe from my poor puppy without my 0.380 ruger with a laser site.

What a fucking pussy.

5. Sounds like BS to me

"Yep, I shot me one of them garsh-darned Kieotes. Good think I had my hollow points with me. He came snarlin' up about to attack my family! I kilt him."

"I'm enjoying the run when something catches my eye and it's this coyote. I know he knows I'm there. He never looks at me, he is laser-locked on that dog," Perry said.

"I holler and the coyote stopped. I holler again. By this time I had taken my weapon out and charged it. It is now staring dead at me. Either me or the dog are in imminent danger. I did the appropriate thing and sent it to where coyotes go," he said.

Perry said the laser-pointer helped make a quick, clean kill.

"It was not in a lot of pain," he said. "It pretty much went down at that particular juncture."

10. That'll energize the base!

Nothing they like more than a good gun story.

When I lived in Texas I shot several coyotes on my grandparents ranch. They can be a threat to the livestock. I never felt the need to go bragging about it to reporters.

11. Is there any article that says what Perry did after allegedly shooting this animal?

Did he contact Animal Control or the county health dept. to test it for rabies? Where's the corpse?
