Foxes?

Rather deal with them than coyotes. Both can put a hurt on the chicken population, and young livestock such as piglets.

I've trapped 'em, poisoned 'em and shot 'em when they aggravated me enough. Nothing personal...as long as they don't bother me, I don't bother them.

Now...coyotes....I'll go out of my way to stick a 22-250 through a taco dog. Whereas foxes will knock down the quail and rabbit population, and eat some chickens, coyotes will cleanse the area of small game, eat any livestock they can drag down, kill the family farm dog, tear up your watermelon patch, and scatter your trashcan about the place.

I can't stand them. I've shot them, caught 'em with #2 jump traps, poisoned them with antifreeze and hung them with piano wire snares. I don't enjoy killing, but I make an exception for coyotes. And bobcats...

The UK is a little different to your neck of the woods Jolly and you know I couldn't possibly approve of killing animals inhumanely.

Incidentally, can't you just put up a decent fence?

A coyote can easily jump a 6' fence.

The judges decision, which is final and binding:

Three points for cross-thread-relation, but awarded a 5 point penalty by the grammar Nazis, as you missed capitalisation, or in your case capitalization, of 'Mexico'.

True. Perhaps we should vote for who should be on the "Cumulative Rimshot Awards Panel (Pending External Review)".

I'm sorry, I can't accept this signal honour, since every time I see the word 'rimshot' I snigger due to other less music-related meanings. Call me back when my mental age exceeds my shoe-size.

Make the pie bigger, sorry, I mean make the fence bigger. Seriously, are you telling me we humans can't devise some sort of fencing that can keep out a humble coyote?

Enough speculation though:

A study by the Fish and Wildlife Service in Denver, Colorado cited a 90% reduction in coyote predation of sheep with appropriate fencing.

Or how about the "Coyote Roller"?

One thing for sure, coyotes aren't humble. The buggers stroll right through my back yard, bold as brass, and I don't live out in the middle of nowhere, we're 25 miles S of Boston. My understanding regarding coyotes is that they don't really care too much about being humane when they're doing the biting, and with a two-year old daughter they aren't exactly welcome visitors. Sadly, I'm not allowed to discharge firearms where I live. :wink:

I don't think coyotes have ever successfully claimed any sense of what's right and what's wrong. In fact, the last coyote, Billy-Bob I think, which tried to postulate the idea of a moral compass to his pack, was unlucky enough to become that evening's dinner.

Depends on the ethylene glycol proportions in the anti-freeze, I s'pose.

They may not hit it the first night. Coyotes are extremely suspect critters, newness bothers them. I don't bowhunt like I used to, but it was always much harder to put a shaft in a taco dog, than in a deer.

Besides, mixing bait with antifreeze is more effective.

Take a 5 pound bag of chicken leg quarters, and soak in antifreeze overnight. Taking care to leave as little scent in the area as possible, place a few pieces near your coyote runs. Coyotes will ignore them for a day or two, and then you'll find they'll hit all of your sets in one night.

Wait a couple of days, and start lookin' for buzzards.

Our dog is considerably more inquisitive than is good for him, unfortunately, so that might have a rather unfortunate side-effect.
