Same here.

They cut up here almost every night unless the weather is bad. So far I've never lost a calf to coyotes as far as I know. They find easier prey usually.

The one that got a duck and a chicken a few weeks back still returns occasionally. We've tried to call it in three different times, but it won't show. Thinking about a treble hook, wire and a chicken thigh. :help:

 

[dieselbeef]

half a chicken works good like that on a gator...or stuff a small dead one with rat poison

As long as their no bothering anything leave them alone, if they really bother you find a trapper and let him do the deed.

I don't recomend the poison method it will backfire on ya.

I don't think you'll have much trouble. I've only seen one SW Florida coyote, but it wasn't all that large. Smaller than we have here in Ohio, and we rarely have troubles with them up here. I lost one calf, and I think they happend across the cow in labor. It's just a guess on my part, but I left for work with an expecting cow and came home to her standing over half a calf.

Yotes are bad, but try having a hoot owl rest close to your house every night. We have had one for the last 3 nights.

 

[dieselbeef]

easier to run off than coyotes ill bet..owls are cool tho

I've always heard that the yotes won't mess with calves here too db. But tell that to the one I shot while it was stalking the calves of a neighboring pasture. There's no doubt about what it was trying or thinking about doing.

They go off here every night.
Show up here with your work clothes after a couple of days you will never hear them again.
