So.. you only kill for food? What if something is preventing you from having that food you grew or raised with a dollar amount?
Wouldn't this be the same thing?
So.. you don't believe in killing animals, even to protect your food ? I hope you are a vegetarian?

Coyote are predators that prey on farm and ranch livestock... They need to be controlled to protect their investments...

One of the primary tenents of the management of a natural resource, is not it's extinction, but keeping it's population in check with it's environment. Unfortunately, coyotes are one of the most successful in their survival, and really make their management easy when they start to impact livestock and enter settled areas.

I have found that the coyote is a species that will survive well into the future, and most likely prosper. We can eliminate those that encroach on our livestock and endanger pets and family, but they will move on and move back as the situations warrant. They are an incrediblely intelligent animal, and even as we control their numbers by harvest, I for one enjoy their music at night, and watching them as they stealthfully move through the woods.

Here in the Canyon Country of Northern Arizona....We wait on the very edge of a tall cliff for the Coyotes to come by chasing a Road Runner... we time it just right, then we drop an Acme safe on them! It makes a Coyote imprint into solid rock!

Hey it is against the law to use poison. I think you have had many good ideas presented. Also check with your state agency and they may come out and give you a hand if you are experiencing livestock depredation.

.... Tnmountains... I have to say that Silver Searcher is correct that snaring or poisoning any animal is a barbaric act by the ones that do it...................

Any idea where to get it? Or is it more like a bait rigged to a string that is connected to a shotgun?

Used to buy them at a farm and ranch store or a feed store. Coyotes were a big problem back in the 70's-80's. Not so much now, or I have mellowed or just can't see worth a damm and think they're dogs now. That and the last time I was on the ranch, I accidently missed a striking(actually fleeing in surprise) snake and the richochet hit the bottom of my raised boot. Thank god I had the 22 and not the 44. Sad, but true.

That's right you have to...but it does'nt mean you have to make a animal suffer. I have no problem with anybody controling a species out of control, as long as it's humaine...Simple as that.

And like I said we don't have them here, but we do have animal cruelty laws.

I would get with DNR first and see what control methods are best used and prescribed. If you own cattle, you do what you have to. Some animals can over populate and start eating each other. This doesn't sound the case. Hamburger is a $1.89 a pound, no reason to be shooting critters if you dont have too. If they get too friendly around a house, they got to go.

Where are you getting ground beef for that cheap Around here on sale it is 2.50 a pound, normal price is 3-3.50.

I do eat what I kill or I feed my animals with it. I have cooked coyote before and it isn;t to bad.

The reason these animals have to trapped or snared is because they are so sneaky and elusive at times. I could sit on my farm all day and try and call them in to shoot them and not see one for days and my birds keep disappearing or I could set up a dozen traps and catch a couple and they may move on. It would be nice to have traps that are humaine for coyotes.

AMEN!!!!!!! I can't comment on this much because I will become a raving lunatic. But please for the Love of God... If it's Absolutely unavoidable and you Have to protect your animals... Only a gun and impeccable aim is humane. If you have Any respect for life, or God... You wouldn't trap( any kind of trap besides a humane live trap)an animal or poison one. To inflict that kind of pain is unthinkable . 3 days ago my mom's cat Rufus came home with blood pouring from his bottom and intestines hanging out and vommitting profusely. It was so awful , my parents wouldn't make him wait till they rushed him to the vet. My dad grabbed the gun and ended his misery.. Turns out he either ate poison that was outside the neighbors garage or ate a mouse that had eaten it. That's the fate of a poisoned animal , except the vet said it would have been a long drug out death if it hadn't been ended.

Sorry mate there's a bit of a misunderstanding here . its not about us and them . Its about the whole environment and them . Them being a native species or introduced .When such species population multiply into a biblical type plague on a huge scale . They not only destroy crops and life stock the whole food chain of the natural environment is affected. Bates ,spraying ,shooting trapping , land control management , culls , protect fencing and even biological weapons of mass destruction only keeps them in check . Wiped out never always a return within a decade in large numbers. rabbits wild dogs, pigs, goats, red fox are just a few of the introduced , just as many birds insects and others and then there the native ones, Every way is considered and thought through but as cruel as some of these methods are . Boils down to them or everything else. Seeing the damage done by various types of pests over the years i think you would change your mind . I reckon destroy them as soon they become a problem . There is no other way. Over the years many new ways have beeninvented in the way of bates that only the problem species will take , leaving other species safe. Some species here will not think twice about taking human young . lawful control is allowed but reckless destruction is criminal . Guns have their uses but not pointing at other people nor do birds belong in cages.

oh god ,, so much to write so little time.......why cant we all just get along ? no one is perfect we all will never agree 100% , no one has the right to tell others they are wrong,, you can disagree but you can not tell them they are wrong...i guarantee every one of us , even the ones saying it is wrong to kill animals do something wrong morally or ethically in some one elses eyes. so if you do not have a comment on how to do what the OP asked then ignore this thread please.
