Coyotes in the backyard?

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.


good advice

Yeah, my neighbor is a federal judge, so I have to be sneaky about it.

what about antifreeze, maybe it was mentioned. We had two patients drink it this week at work, it will shut down your kidneys real fast. (very sad)

I have pets here, so I don't really want to put any kind of poison out.

I'm hoping for the professional trapper to take him alive so we can get some photos posted in here of you poking him with a stick in his cage.

I have had anywhere from 3 to 7 roaming around here, the horse farm next door has plenty of high grass, good for rabbits and woodchucks and all to hide in, as well as a decent supply of barn cats.

I have taken to winging them with a .22 short in the chest cavity if i can get them under the streetlights at night, it's not instant but it does the job, without making any major noise. I would also reccomend some snares around bait, just put them out before bed and take them in in the morning, before the neighborhood pets go out and about. Unlike their fox cousins, it is remarkably easy to trap coyotes.

Have a little compassion at least shoot them with something that kills them, and doesn't leave them wounded..


try a head shot...

razorblade biscuits work wonders.

or just take a hook, hang it about chest high from a tree with a raw chicken breast on it. When he grabs hold, ain't no coming down.

I hunt coyotes during turkey/deer offseason, usually bring a 243 or a 25-06.

Had one in Nashville a couple of years ago. Fixed the holes in the fence and problem was solved. They like to roam along ridges from what I am told.
