re: Best way to take out Coyotes?

Yes you can get them with a speaker. It's really easy. They have the calls programed in so just pick a cotton tail distress call and it will do everything else. Throw a green light on the AR's or whatever weapon of choice. They can't pick up the green light. By baiting them you could draw coyotes in that weren't in your area if you left it out too long. The calls work well and no need for bait.

poisoning is a felony, also unintended poisonings are even worse...

Coyotes are natural predators

They're not native to the deep south until the last 100 years or so. Also, they have 3-12 pups a year and their gestation cycle is only 2 months. These things are like pigs and rabbits with their birthing... Except they ARE predators like you said.

I don't advocate poisoning them either just saying they used to be prairie and desert dogs out west and now they're everywhere. And there's a lot of them.

who in the heck down-voted me? we have a bunny huger on the OB?

watch what happens if an eagle eats the poison.......

That's F'ed up. Shoot them on sight if you have to but don't subject an intelligent mammal to a prolonged horrible death like that.

The need to kill them in the first place is debatable. Natural predators have a place in our woods. You and your rifle alone can't keep nature in balance. Coyotes target vermin and cull the population of larger species (old, weak, unlucky). They target young feral hogs too. If they can't kill older hogs, they might be able to harrass them enough that they move on. I say leave them alone.
