I would think something completely different is the direction I would take. Think about this idea. A cage trap that the coyote does not have to enter to get caught in.

I have fiddled with the idea but have not yet come up with something I like. What I did was along the lines of a wide, tall but shallow trap with a door that laid down on the ground in the front. The idea being you would cover the door and springs on the door would boost the coyote into the trap. Somewhat similar in fashion to a suitcase beaver trap but with some crucial differences.
Something for you to think about anyway.

Trajectory based coyote launcher....hmmm. the thought crosses my mind of skeet shooting and how that mechanism could be implemented...

Coyotes have pretty fast reflexes. I'm thinking a carousel type design similar to the one on the video but smaller and lower to the ground. Bout 30' off the ground. Still playing with ideas before I start cutting
