Time for a snare or conibear! Oops, did I say that or think it? Tie one of those birds to a fence at the edge of your property late in the evening, sit and wait. Blap, blap, 2 caps in da hat!

Live traps don't work too good on Coyotes. I have never heard of one going into a live trap. If it was bobby it would be cake!! Good luck with the problem!!

Doggies may not go in a live trap... But if you rig the hen house to have a trap door, he'll go in. You'll lose some chickens in the process, but you'll also be able to kill the little *censored*. Rig up an alarm on the hen house door so you know when to go out with the lights and shotgun.

Did that a couple times when I was younger with chickens. Shot a Yote once then a Great Horned Owl. Wing span on the owl was more than six feet. Had to give the owl to the WDFW for their collection...

put out a llama and you will no longer have any K9 issues.

This is not a recommendation nor would I do it. Back in the old days they would use treble hooks with pieces of meat on them tied up about 3 or 4 feet above the ground. Like I said I wouldn't do it myself but I guess back then their chickens were worth a lot more a old chicken thief, and nowdays we are more attune to ethical or humane treatment of animals.

PolarBear · « **Reply #13 on:** September 21, 2009, 07:36:05 PM »

These days they want us to sit down with the coyotes and try to reason with them and come to a compromise. I also wouldn't tie some meat to a live 220 wire either.

Neither would I, Now live 3 phase wires might be interesting

I know a guy that got nailed by 660 3 phase while cutting concrete in water. Killed him dead as a fart but it was just a few feet from a fire station and they brought him back.

Tie a chicken out in a field or pasture in the morning and hide in the brush. He or she will come

Save the chickens...save the chickens. Kill that coyote

zackmioli · « **Reply #18 on:** September 28, 2009, 09:02:02 AM »

put him out in that pasture and coyotes may not be the only thing out there to get him.
