This link will take you to a video of three coyotes apparently chasing a deer.

Ken,

back in the 1980s I used the M-44 cyanide guns to control coyotes. It was almost as much fun as shooting them to drive up to the guns every day and find a dead coyote! Those things were effective, the cyanide is just so dangerous! Worked great!

James,

just pray that coyotes don't start showing up with rabies! I have a friend who lives south of Laredo, Texas and he was sitting at the table eating breakfast and a coyote tried to come through a sliding glass door at him. It was rabid!

Robert,

It seems they are bad everywhere. I am glad I live where hunting is still legal. Urban sprawl sure throws nature out of balance. If I lived in a place where I couldn't shoot varmints with a gun I would get me a cross bow and stick 'em when they came by. :)

Charles,

you gotta love it when you take one out as hard as they are to outsmart! :)

I live in the country and have lost quite a few pet dogs to them. I have killed a lot of coyotes over the years and I think you can't kill enough of them.

Here is my contribution to reducing the coyote problem.

If you go to googlemaps and find the intersection of the 91 and 605 freeways, you will see where I live within a mile.  If you also zoom in you will see the San Gabriel river/watershed.  Following the river south past El Dorado park you will see another stream joining the San Gabriel river; very aptly name Coyote Creek. 

What you may ask has this to do with this thread?  I live at lease 50 miles deep in suburbia and we have coyotes walking our streets.  The rivers and drainage systems are wildlife freeways. My wife's hairdresser lost one of her dogs to a coyote and I got a quick look at one running down the street at dusk.  Well at least we don't have bears and mountain lions to deal with -- yet.

Jan,

poachers and people who do not respect landowners make it harder for hunters to get permission to hunt. Also with increased value of whitetail deer hunting and deer leases, access is even more limited as absentee hunters own the hunting rights. For some reason there seems to be more things for kids to do than hunt, like limitless electronic entertainment where kids don't get "cold" and "dirty". When I was a teenager we would take girls rabbit and varmint hunting! I think there has been a decline in that nowadays!
