Of course he has a right to, duh. I'm simply saying there's no real NEED in the majority of cases to kill coyotes. I like killing yotes for FUN but as far as a need, no, more often than not coyotes are like thugs, they come sniffing around to see if they can get a free lunch, then as soon as they see a Dog is as big as them they just go to bumpin them gums.
I live in poacher city tx. There are dead critters all over the woods behind my house and TONS OF COYOTES running up and down chocolate bayou. They creep around my yard on a nightly basis and our lil ol blue heeler porch warmer scares the crud out of them coyotes. He's all scarred up from head to tail but every morning hes still on one of the porches at our compound beggin for bisquits.

I didn't mean to come across rudely and I apologize, but southeast Texas coyotes are puny.
I agree. Yotes rarelyyyyyy will kill or hurt a dog. Ive used night vision multiple times and seen them "running dogs" a few will run behind a dog and it looks like they are after his a$$ but when the dogs stops to fight they haul a$$ till he starts running again. They will run the heck out of hog dogs but killin them, not likely.
