22x250 and borry or buy a range finder, get you some of those marker flags you see all over the place and mark off your calving area just so you know the range.
Texas Ranch Man":1b9p19hn said:I have tried this on a small scale and it worked. Collect your domestic Dog feces and place them around the perimeter of your Ranch. I would suggest a pile at each T Post. This is how Coyotes mark there territory in the wild. "They also use urine, but that would be hard to collect" It would take some time you pprobobly have thousands of T posts, but I believe it will be worth it. When I did this experiment I found the Coyotes would mark on the other side of the poop barrier. Kinda like OK, that side is yours and this side is ours. Now I will admit I conducted this experiment 10 yrs ago in an urban setting, but we did have a pack who would travel right behind our house. I made the territorial Fece line approx 100 yds from the house in the woods, and I deposited feces daily since I had a kennel w/ 10 Bird Dogs at the time. You might consider trying it. Anyway there ya have it.

I have a friend that did this with devestating results. Buy some thin cable and the big trebble hooks. Tie the cable from a large tree limb so that the hook is dangling about chest high. Bait the hook with some raw venison. Coyote smells meat, jumps up to grab it a is hooked. He can't get off. It is exceptionally cruel but effective. Check the traps each morning and shoot the yote with a .22
I do not know if this is even legal. I would not have the stomach for it as I prefer clean kills with my ol 6mm.
I'm no friend of coyotes, but that is just wrong! I have no doubt I'll catch flack for this, but so be it. No animal deserves to suffer like that when they are simply trying to survive like the rest of us. Whether you would use it or not is somewhat irrelevant at this point as there will undoubtedly be people who WILL use it now that they know about it. I get just as angry as anyone else when I discover a calf has been killed by a predator, but I will not resort to indiscriminate traps, baits or poisoning as a means of control.
