[QUOTE="robertwhite, post: 1001193, member: 15043"] Bez, with all due respect, you are wrong on so many points its not funny. At least in my case. I don't have neighbors, (closest is 1/3 mile away), I don't have issues with wild dogs, neighbors dogs, etc. I hear the coyotes chasing down prey almost every night. They absolutely run the treeline 75 yards away at least 3 times a week. I have MANY piles of coyote crap in my fields, in my orchard and on my drive and just the other day found 2 piles not 30 yards from my house. I have taken a few that were inside my fence line, and I have even seen them be so brazen as to drink from my stock pond (at dusk) when my cattle are in the other side of a pasture. I live next to a river bottom and there are lots of rabbits and other small prey. I have to stand outside at night when my border collie goes outside as to make sure he doesn't take off after them and then have the tables turned. So don't you dare insult mine or others intelligence by "it's not the coyotes that are the problem". Should myself or others with similar problems wait until we lose calves before addressing the problem? Sorry, but I'm not about to let it get that far. Whether by poison/snare/shooting they will be dealt with if needed. Will other ones come in once these are gone? Don't know, but I will deal with it if it comes to that. I can live in harmony with them IF they respect their bounds, but since they have started getting closer and closer, I will react if they don't stop. Period.
