Unfortunately I have not seen them on my property where I can take a shot at them.
Not quite true. My wife did spot one in the yard but by the time I had picked up my rifle it was gone.
Get one of those “rabbit in distress” predator calls and you’ll lure Mr. Coyote into the crosshairs quickly enough.
There are coyotes here all the time. They take advantage of the “fast food” of feral cats and the occasional unattended Chihuahua. Two weeks ago, I went down the driveway on my way out of town, and there was a coyote across the road. This was at about 0730, and a friend of mine was on his daily walk.
I stopped, rolled down my window, and told him to look behind him. He hasn’t seen any that close, before. But I run into them all the time. I think they are beautiful, but I understand, as we build farther and farther into their territories, their food supply is changing.
I hope they can adapt without becoming extinct, due to being considered “pests.”
You need a rabbit distress call. The coyotes respond quite well to those. Bring ‘em in to your property and when they’re in range, pop ‘em.
