Here is what I'm posting about though. This job is inside a fence. Entire property fenced with 5 foot high woven wire topped with a double strand of barbed wire. Wire is buried at the bottom and well maintained. Access by two electronic gates with vertical bars 4" wide between bars.
So how are the coyotes getting in? Anybody have experience with coyotes climbing fence or are they able to squeeze through the gate?

I actually got paid earlier to advise them on keeping the coyotes out. Per my suggestion they made some improvements on the gates and replaced about 300 feet of fence. These people have money and they are spending it to protect a lap dog. 50 acres fenced like this so an extra $500 seems not to matter.
Why are the coyotes or coyote getting in? The place really doesn't look that atractive to a coyote, no stock and not much wildlife. It is mostly second growth spruce and hemlock about 50 or 60 years old, pretty barren under the trees.
The reason I think the coyotes are in there is it is a travel way. This is right on the beach. 200 foot wide strip of beach grass along the beach for them to hunt. The uplands are a jungle except this place which has manicured trails that connect the beach and newer logged areas across the highway from the driveway. The rest of the beach land is either houses or bluffs.
I kind of lean towards them going through the gate but not sure if they can squeeze through a 4 inch slot.
I've checked the fence and didn't see anything obvious. Thought maybe I might see some fur on the barbed wire if they were climbing over but nothing.
I already suggested they screen the gates but I'm still pondering.

At $500 each I think I'd just leave that gate open!

I went and looked at that coyote today and measured him. At his widest point he is 5" wide and that is afet rigormortice has set in. I think now a coyote could squeeze through tose gates no problem.
Eric,
Yea leave the gate open :tup:. Even though the guy is rich I don't think he would go for that :chuckle:.

Are you sure they aren't fenced in?
When was the last time you walked and checked the fence? If they are complaining about a coyote, they must see one.....why can't they pressure it and tell you which way it exits?

Coyotes are just around occasionally apparently so I wait.

With yotes, obviously he doesn't that's why they are paying you. 14 jailers couldn't figure out how prisoners were escaping out of a Grant county security fenced enclosure, one cowgirl guard spotted the problem
if you have not walked and examined the fence yourself(you did not say) you should. Ya really got to know what you are looking for. Can catch some pups ready for transplant if you need a partner :-) Fred

The groundskeeper may not have a clue what to look for, unless he has experience

Fred,
I got paid $100 to walk the fenceline. It's tight. They did rebuild some fence per my suggestion. Boggles my mind how much they are willing to spend for a yapping lap dog.
