Coyotes in the backyard?

Take some raw meat, soak it in diesel fuel, burn it, put it out before it's completely charred and nail it to a post.

Nothing likes the smell of burned flesh.

Dig a giant pit and line the bottom with punji sticks...

or

Remove all the trees/shrubs from yours and your neighbors' yards so the coyote has nowhere to hide.

If all else fails, work like heck to get rid of it.

It will be a perfect storm for that Coyote once I work like heck, dig my pit, remove shrubs, and sprinkle a little magic dust around. I'm sure that Coyote comes from a great family and some would even hug it's neck, but after reviewing the film, it looks kind of dangerous.

You have overlooked the obvious answer. Get him to chase you near a cliff, make a quick turn near the edge and watch the hilarity ensue.

I guess the best thing to do is just hire some trappers to come over and trap it. Then I can poke it with a stick.

we used to trap them as a kid....the trap had to be solid metal or they would chew through it...coyotes are crazy...

:eek:lol::lolabove:

i've had 'em here as well. my house backs up right to the woods, and we're about 400 yards from the catawba river, South of Lake Norman. i've got a beagle that just sits on the patio barking like a mad dog (she's a big wuss though--she ran away from a couple of wild turkeys that found their way in to my back yard once....lol.), and i've never seen 'em since.

I have the critters in my backyard here in North ATL along the Hooch...they got a cat of ours.
I hope that VA is better than GA in trapping them for you. GA wildlife agency said that they will not come get them until thes are aggressive toward people and that is always too late.

what they need to do is re-introduce wolves.....they can't stand coyotes and will run them down and kill them...might take of some of the friggin' deer as well.

I live in a wooded area in the City of Bristol and coyotes have been seen here, once by my son. I have seen a fox, many deer (6 one time), wild turkeys, possums, coons are common as cats, flying squirlls, and we had a black bear in the subdivision for almost a month. It is amazing the variety of wildlife we have here right in the city limits. Not to mention those animals listed above.

Don't have any suggestions for you, just letting you know I care. Seriously, I hope you don't have to resort to poison as any neighborhood pet can be affected too.
My cousin has a coyote Indian style headress if you want to use it to try to sneak up on it.

Yeah, I'm not sure that would work. :)

I'm in Abingdon and we've also had a bear roaming around the subdivision at times. Like you said, the wildlife around here really is amazing.

From experience, here is what I was told. If a coyote keeps coming into your yard it is because they think they see food. A guy up here said they saw one in their front yard a few nights in a row. One night after going grocery shopping, he left the front door open and his oldest daughter was helping him carry in bags...she looked up at him and asked why there was a doggy playing with her 3 year old brother in the hallway..well, they didnt have a dog. The coyote walked into their foyer by the front door and had grabbed the boy by the pants and was pulling him outside. He made a ton of noise, beat the coyote with something and it ran off. He kept noticing the coyote coming around that night every once in awhile. Come to find out when a coyote thinks there is food, it will continue to lurk until it gets its prey, it wont give up. He was told the only way to get rid of it was to kill it.
Later that night when he saw it walking in the front yard, he walked out(in the middle of a cul-de-sac and shot it with his shotgun.

don't mess with them, if they think there is food, whether its your pets or your kids...they wont ever leave until you get rid of them.

Seems like getting rid of your pets & kids is going a little overboard! :)
