Coyote been eatin my chickens

[WildfireArcher]

Hey guys! im new and very excited to be a part of the forums! thought i'd start off by posting a pic that was taken at my house.  My chickens and turkeys have been dissapearing left and right, so i set up my cam and caught him red handed!

welcome to the site.

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!

This is one coyote thats been smart enough to only come out late at night...but he'll make a mistake soon enough!

[WildfireArcher]

thinkin about putting out a live varmit trap and see if i can get him

[bearpaw]

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!!

Thats a Skinny looking dog,Hopefully you can whack him.

[tazz]

wecome to the site were you ever able to kill it or is it still at large

[WildfireArcher]

havent been able to spot him in daylight

[JackOfAllTrades]

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.

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.

I also wouldn't tie some meat to a live 220 wire either.

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