They will definitely come after humans if they are hungry enough and their pack is large enough. It’s around that season that they start getting a bit braver because they are hungry coming out of winter and it’s breeding season. Usually they run after the first shot, but sometimes they don’t notice you dropped one and they keep coming until the follow-up shots. It’s not out of the ordinary to bag multiple coyotes in one spot.

In the late Winter/early spring they start getting a bit braver and start moving further into the cow pastures. That’s when we have to cull the pack to keep them away from the cattle.

You’ve obviously never been surrounded by a pack of coyotes or hogs.
.223 is also an excellent caliber for that size game.

Initial reports are saying he was on the roof for several minutes. I’m sure more/better details will come in the following days.

As for the range, 125 yds is WELL within effective range for AR-15s and .223/5.56. Personally, mine is sighted for 220 yd so the ballistic markings are accurate out to 600 yds. There’s a nearby 500 yd range that people frequently take their AR-15s to for longer range shooting. This is also considered “medium range” as far as rifles go.

This wasn’t really a discussion about whether or not people need fast food. The main issue is that fast food places are selling low quality food options at high prices compared to restaurants that are selling higher quality foods with personal service.

I don’t want to spend $15-20 on a meal that just tastes like different textures of salt. At that price, I expect some quality food, and fast food prices clearly don’t match the quality they’re providing.

That’s just it, though. A lot of fast food places have been pricing themselves up to the point where they’re meeting the price of proper sit-down restaurants. The only thing they have to offer at this point is convenience. It’s just not worth buying fast food any more.
