Coyote Hunting ~~~ Me
I installed 19 dusk to dawn flood lights.
Now I can see what's out there.

Murf's suggestion of offering a treat augmented with a strong, permanent sedative would work well but just one caution on this. Make sure the coyote eats it all while you are watching so as to prevent it being picked up by some one's domestic pet....a very sad unintended consequence.
This happened to me and one of our good hunting dogs as someone was trying to rid the area of pesky coyotes but got ours and and neighbors dogs with it as well.
Murf, I know you or your folks would have made sure this treated meat went where it was intended, but thought I might add this caution if other's might consider this effective solution as well.

This don't happen when people keep their pets on their own property ! ! !

Any thing that comes into the flood lit area is fair game.
If the neighbors want to save their pets keep them out of the lights.

Brown 59,
I agree....but I think Murf was talking about an open area that was possibly frequented by other pets. This was my case as we lived in open ranching country and the area that was poisoned was an area that hunting dogs frequented for hunting pheasants etc. Not good judgement to poison this easily accessed and unpopulated area.
To poison a residential area, lighted or not, from an occasional friendly neighbor's dog that is not causing any problems would be a bit drastic in my opinion. Now, if the dog is a nuisance that might be another thing, but poison is a very indiscriminate, and final way to tell your neighbor to keep his dog home. I would hope there would be a better and more neighborly solution.

If you are a good neighbour and keep your dogs on your property and in one freak incident they get out and happen to be poisoned on the next door property, you're going to be pissed with your neighbour no matter who is technically in the right.

Coyotes are a problem where I live, country setting with trees. Legal to use gun here. I have killed 3 or 4, we lost 2 cats and one dog to the critters. I know the coyotes were responsible for one. I also know a horned owl took one of the cats. I chased the owl away at dusk, he flew about 50ft. and landed in a tree, he was keeping watch on a screened in porch on our deck. He is gone now bothering someone else. I use a 10/22 with scope from the house. I carry a 25 automatic when on tractor or mower. I spotted a cougar last week. Wife say the same animal a week before. Hopefully he is just passing through. We seem to see the cougar about this time of year every year. Same with a black bear that passes through in the fall when the apples are on the trees.
I never had a coyote stay when I am out. Might not hurt to fire in his direction with a low power gun or toss a firecracker or 2 if nothing will burn in your area.

poison keeps on killing again and again. If the animal runs off and dies and is eaten then that animal will perish. Even worse is if the poisoned animal throws up then everything that eats it will be killed. If a child finds the poison now that would be tough to live with.
If the neighbors HOSTILE dog is a problem shoot him. If you dont care enough to keep your HOSTILE animals on your estate then why should anyone else have to put up with it.

There is the option of the pet food from Canada...have no idea the brand...not trying to throw off on those in Canada...just identify the item. kt
