You gotta try the shooting game Shad sent me. You'll love it!! I'll email it to you if you want.

I would use an SKS or AK rifle if you have one. You can plug off quite a few rounds & have excellent accuracy! :-)

Shooting those are fun no matter the targets!! :-) S.W.

Got plenty of guns, but the days are short now and I can't be here when they come. They are human smart, and that doesn't help. Wish I still had my pitbull.

SD,
Wish I was up there, I would come help on a weekend. LOL I love calling them in. How is the prarie dog population there? Down where I lived in Southeast CO, they are all over, and one can make a day out of it.

Please send your excess Coyotes to us in Sandy Eggo. We used to have a lot of them here but development forced them out of our neighborhoods. Now we have thousands and thousands of wild rabbits. Killing a coyote is to me a heinous crime - not because I'm in love with them but because the lack of them has us all out of wack nature-wise.

ps.: we can't shoot rabbits in the city so that won't help.

pps.: I did see a female coyote in the canyon behind our house a couple weeks ago. She was young and had a beautiful coat. She seemed very healthy. Eatin' lots of bunnies I hope. Ah, nature!

No picket pins on the mesa here, Jon. Wish there were, then I would actually be shooting something!

Take some biscuits and mix them with blue marlin fly bait powder. Leave them near garbage or other food source and you will have some sick and dead puppies. Make sure no other untargeted animals are around this stuff is wicked. Illegal probably in your state also but wicked and very hard to detect compared to traps. But snares are hard to detect by the unwanted green men also.

The fly bait powder or liquid is the absolute best way to rid yourself of unwanted pests. We use it to control woodchucks, skunks, coons, coyote, and opossum around the barn yard. We use a slightly different delivery than you have mentioned. We put it in an old bowl with a half can of Coke and stir it up. These scavengers will lap it up since its sooo sweet, and the rotten bast***s won't even make it 20 feet before they flop over. When you find a whole litter of chucks, put this stuff out and the next day you'll have 10 of them in a big circle around the bowl.

Word of caution: If you have cats, dogs, kids, or any other living creature in the target area, DO NOT USE THIS STUFF!!!!

I'm sure it's not legal and the feds are tapping my phone as I type this, just as PETA is staging a demonstration outside my home.
Oh well, I'll send you messages from the big house.

the way we catch them is get a pc. of 8 in or 6 in pvc pipe about 4 or 5 feet long dig a hole at about a 30 degree angle put the pipe flush with the ground or slightly below the ground, place a pc. of meat in the bottom of the pipe. when the coyote goes in to get the meat it can not turn around in the pipe and the pipe is to slick on the inside for it to back out. it works here down on the river in central la. bring your pistol and put one bullet in the back of the head. hope this helps you, we have the same problem with them down here, can't raise chicken's or duck's for the coyotes

That is pretty slick. If something You didn't want to kill got in You could let it go.

Yeah, that's more like it. Even though I live in the country, there are plenty of pets running around. Don't want to kill Fido.

tried to curb the cat population in my neighborhood once, with a snare in a willow tree. Ended up with the neighbors cat getting the slip knot around his neck.....not a pretty sight.
