Best coyotes are dead coyotes. Period.
Agree. The coyote was repopulated in Mass around the Quabbin Reservoir, , just like they dodo birds want to do with the rattle snake, by populating an island in the Quabbin.
$5 for 2 ears would solve the problem
A few years ago there was a surge of coyotes near my parents home in Morris County New Jersey.
They were trying to lure my parents springer spaniels into the woods, I know what that outcome would have been, so I retained the services of a tracker, the friend of a friend.
His question was what do you want me to track, I explained my problem.
We set off the next morning, the area behind my parents home was very hilly with a lot of rock outcroppings and heavily wooded.
After following him around like a puppy he brought me to rock out cropping/cave area and announced this is their lair. I asked are you shure? He pointed out evidence of bones and hide of deer, small game and what I think was a cat.
Ok, I’m convinced I said. How far in are they I asked he said it’s a cave, big enough for them but not you, what are you going to do?
I said, “fix the problem” and took out two sticks of 40 gel gelatin dynamite and two electric blasting caps, his eyes where as big a dinner plates, I primed the powder and pushed them into the den area with a tree branch, that got some growling, good right place.
Moved off to the left about 100’ with a lead line and touched a 9 volt battery to the two legs, end of problem. The tracker thinks I am Batshit crazy, but cool.
Have not seen a coyote in that area since.
