Poison can get you into a lot of trouble, but if that is your only choice then you gotta do what you gotta do.

Donkeys, snares, calls, traps are other options.

Transplant them to me, I can't kill pigs fast enough. Maybe these yote's would help


Also if they steal some of my neighbors loud arse birds I'd save me the trouble

Early today I was checking out a pond for froging and ran across a coyote. Didn't have a gun on me.

You can sell them to be run by hounds inside a high fence. Houndsmen have sort of like a field trial by running yotes year round instead of deer. I sold 2 coyote pups years ago for $100.00 a piece. I estimate the pups were 4-6 weeks old at the time of their capture.

Heard this as well. People train hounds on them often. Supposedly you can walk up and grab a coyote by the neck when in a snare. Head they lay down real timid.
I just shoot them though

Cut pieces of sponge in 2" squares. Put a few drops of blood and a few drops of bacon grease on the sponge. Do not let any domestic dogs that you might care about get anywhere in the area. When the sponge is eaten the dogs can not pass it and they will end up dying. Do not use Temic! It is way to hard to control what eats it. It also kills what eats the original target.

Another method is a treble hook and steel leader hanging 6"-10" above normal reach of a yote. Tie the rig in such a manner that the yote has to leap for the bait. When he leaps for the bait he should either be swinging or back feet barely touching. This predicament doesn't allow for any pull or fighting the hook. He will be there the next time you arrive either nearly dead or all the way dead.

Be careful with poison, case in the midwest, farmer has a problem with coyotes left some poison out, it worked, killed the yotes, then bald eagles ate the dead yotes and they died, he got hit with 2 felonys, and was unable to own firearms, until Bush pardoned him


Happened in NELA last year too, Dumbass got 18 months and a big fine.

There's also the risk of poisoning somebody's dog, maybe your own.

Any method that might cause by-kill is not a great option. Pick one night, bait the area well and stay up late. Maybe take a sick day. Bust them up good, chances are it's one group doing the raids and you can wipe them out. Leaving death out for whatever may come is risky business.

A #3 coilspring trap should do it. Just get online and look up coyote sets and you can catch them pretty easily. Once you grab the dominant one the others are pretty quick to catch.

I've been told they were very hard to trap.

Coyote pens...They train fox hound pups in them. Some of the bigger ones will run full size dogs. Google fox pen and it should come up with alot of info about them. Prolly alot of info about people trying to have them shut down also.


ETA: I guess I should have kept reading before replying. I now see that other people answered the question.

My father does this. He owns about 40-50 walker hounds. I used to go to the field trials with him when I was little. They paint big numbers on the sides of the dogs and have people that run the roads and write down the numbers of the first few dogs that cross the road on the trail of a coyote or fox. He has enough trophys to fill a house. And those dogs sell for ALOT of money.

This... Poison is illegal in most States. I'll find the article about a guy sitting in jail now for using poison bait on coyotes. The dead coyotes were eaten by bald eagles which subsequently died as well.

I wouldn't try it. Find a trapper or do some shooting.
