I have access to about 100 acres i can hunt in Washington Parish. There are several Turkeys and some decent deer on the property. I have only done some turkey hunting on the property, but would like to set it up to deer hunt next year. I know this property has a ton of coyotes as ive heard them at night and seen plenty during the day. Whats the best way to take out some coyotes. I am worried that they will put a hurting on my turkey and deer population.

TIA

Putting a major dent in the yote population is tough if you neighbors do not help. I would just set up with a game caller and a rabbit tail bait.
Start shooting as often as you can. At the very least, they may stay away from your property for a while

Trapping is tough but plenty of videos on Youtube to help. Also, trapping/killing as many raccoons and opossums as possible will help turkey hunting.

You will probably get a response about soaking sponges in baking grease or soaking hotdogs in antifreeze - dont do that

If you have a fenceline on the property, you can find where they are going under and set up a snare, otherwise trapping blind is pretty tough. You can also try and do some calling or night hunting for them. Success can be very limited. They either come in real quick or dont come in at all

Also, coyotes have compensatory reproduction so if you do go out and shoot a bunch this year, they will make up for their losses by producing multiple litters the next year.

Go get em

Like many have said, trapping is tough. I'm about to order some new ones and start giving it hell. You pretty much have to catch every possum in the area and get them out the way first cause they will be in the trap on the first night it's set

Crows, armadillos, hawks, ratsnakes, owls, etc. All will take out eggs or a turkey

warn the neighbors first to put their dogs up for the night:
stout braded fishing line (100# test), snapper-sized circle hooks, old meat/chicken, attached to a tree branch about 3-4' off the ground. works like a charm on 'yotes. kinda rough on the 'yote but IDGAF.
