DAMN COYOTE
A fella near my has a turkey farm, although the birds are inside at night, they are out in yards during the day.
He has coyote reduction down to a fine art.
He has a series of plywood and chain link fencing box traps set all around the fields near his place. They have to be out for a few weeks before the coyotes will be bold enough to go near them. Each trap has a switch connected to the door trip mechanism, when the door closes, an 1157 light bulb on top of the trap goes on. From his window at night he can easily see which trap has sprung.
A .22 then ensures there are no repeat offenders.
Best of luck.

Yeah, they populate pretty good. They've stayed away from my place that I can tell so far. But I expect sooner or later I'm going to have to take some down. It's only a matter of time. I don't keep any livestock around for them to bother with, but I'm surrounded by pheasants and gophers.
The satelite install guy started with over 200 chickens this spring. By fall, he was down to just over a dozen. He stayed up at night but never saw anything. Then he stopped home early one day to pick up something. That's when he saw a fox heading in for more chicken dinner. He put a stop to that.
those captive animals and cats make tempting food for coyotes and such. Good luck hunting them.

Hi Harvey. Up until just now I have been unable to post in this forum but from what I have read I like it very much.
I have spent numerous hours at dusk waiting to spot one of those things, even purchased a call. I am not the only one out there, heard another call a couple of weeks ago.
I have not seen one in the general area lately. I have heard them, but not nearly as many or as often. Check frequently for tracks especially with the volume of turkey and deer in my area but not coming up with any. No recent deposits either.
This winter may be a bit better, I have problems seeing without the moon or some snow and we have had mostly cloudy days here.

Have not seen a track lately Harvey. Friend of mine at the bottom of the hill has them nearby, so he asked me to come down some night. I don't think he owns a gun, so I told him to get some road kill and start baiting them. They ate his cat I am sure, it disappeared without a trace. Not sure if he will follow through, hope he does.

Had a fresh set of small tarcks thru the yard Tues am. Red Fox me thinks. The ducks and geese were aggitaited and the wild ones had left so me thinks trouble is brewing in the yard.
I'm looking into some type of motion device, to let me know in the house, when something is moving. They take their time wandering thru the yard so I should have plenty of time once I am alerted. The pond critters stay settled pretty much after dark. Only deer and other critters moving.
Biggest problem I have is the lighting out at the 125 yd line, my big floods light up to about 75yds. Past that I can see but just enough to make out size, hopefully its not the neighbors kinda red dog...Not sure yet how I'm gonna approach that issue short of a Generation III night vision scope. I'm not sure I can justify that kind of money against these stupid ducks and geese...or maybe it's me. They seem to have it pretty good.
I gotta find a better spot for a bait pile. Bait pile up wind is a little rough.
