[quote=greenenergy327]One of my fathers friend had a Saint Bernard killed and eaten by about 4 coyotes[/quote] the saint bernard was probly too old and heavy. a saint bernard 100 years ago should have killed those coyotes. i have caught dogs that are wild and mostly coyote blood , but they bark and try to scare off a threat before they bolt. pure coyotes dont bother , they just take off and disapear witht he fastest dogs behind them. they are very tough animals,but a proper bred dog half its weight would kill one if caught.
