This problem is two fold. Problem #1 I pulled a trail cam and had 132 pics on it. 44 of those pics were coyotes. Oftentimes, there were multiple coyotes in the pics. Problem #2 I can't seem to hunt them worth a darn. I try calling every year but, very rarely do I get a response. To my admittance, I don't hunt them near enough. The property owner has dogs that he lets run when he's working on the farm. One neighbor has coon dogs and the other has bird dogs. I don't feel I should risk setting snares. Maybe this year I'll finally put it together and thin some out.  |

I`ve heard hunting them is difficult, and that they get wise to the calling pretty quickly and the hunting get`s even tougher. You`re right about not setting traps with all the dogs running loose, (even though the lease law is in effect in the country too).
Additionally, I`ve read that the female coyotes naturally have bigger litters when they`re pressured through hunting, trapping, poisoning, etc. They`re tough critters to get rid of or even dent the population.
I believe there are seminars available that teach the novice hunting strategies, and every hunter likely already has a rifle more than adequate for killing coyotes. I don`t have any calls, but it might be fun after deer season to get some cheap mouth or hand calls and try to whack a few.

I'd get an education on trapping them. No big deal with the neighbors dogs, properly set traps won't hurt the dogs and they will learn after getting caught once or twice not to work the set. Use Minnesota Brand 550 offset jaw dual coil traps. The good thing about the traps is that they work 24/7 too.

Night vision or footholds. About the only real way I have consistently killed them. Seems to me they have really wised up as far as being called in during daylight hours in my area. Lot of guys out there just letting their Foxpros blare ruins it for the rest of us..

They make a stop for snares it won't let the snare close tight enough to kill it. It's for non target catches.

They must get used to people then because this one would not go away. Yelled at him, stomped my feet on the porch, even turned on the porch lights. Finally my son scared him off with the Marlin 44 mag.  |

What part of the state you live in? If you live down near knox county I could put you in touch with someone who is absolutely obsessed with hunting them. He was adding on to my house one day when I heard a shot, I check outside he is laying prone in my drive way shooting across the road to kill one he saw running across the field.
At any rate something he told me that helps out a ton is to wait until a big cold snap comes thru and hardly any wind. He said they definitely get up and run when that happens, referring to the cold snap. The no wind helps conceal you obviously.

Since I was laid up Sunday I sat by my back window dreaming out and saw two yotes in the morning. Need to get a night vision scope for my 308 and a call. Need to thin the invasive yotes a little. They are in Ohio.

Please if you're going to use a snare, use a relaxer on them. I had a beagle run through one placed illegally on public land and the only thing that saved him was he had a tracking collar on. I found him with the tracker and the only thing that saved him was the snare caught crossway on the tracker box and stopped the snare from cinching all the way up against his neck. Yes I understand this is private land but neighbors dogs do sometimes accidentally get loose.

if you're in a pressured area that is called often, the electronic calls will literally send them running. I've had my eye on one about 100 yards out, turned on the call to try to bring him in a little closer and he took off. He's been called once or twice before. You're better off with a mouth call for those scenarios

Since I live semi in a neighborhood, but not in my little area I plan to trap them. Shooting a rifle at night might cause some issues.

I had a yote walk past the deer stand last weekend. I lip squeaked at it and it took off running like someone shot it in the butt with a bb gun.

I'm in central Indiana and I'd be glad to help you with your problem. I hunt coyotes quite a bit with some success. I have night vision I can share and maybe together we can discourage them. PM me if you're interested.
