Advice on 'yote extermination

[Lonnie]

Animals are indeed ruthless.

just think about the grass (its living) that you kill when you walk on it
what about the bugs you kill while you drive down the road on a summer night?
I mean hell its all living isnt it???
if your gonna stick up for **** dont pick and choose go large
protect it all

22 lever action with shorts. it hurts em enough to associate the place as a NONO. hit em in the head and theyll die. velocity isnt a big issue with 600 fps ammo depending on how large the estate is.

Pretty sure it's illegal though?

You'll have to check with the local municipality.

It may not even be legal to fire your bow.

I know each town handles air rifles and bows and wrist rockets differently.

Hunt 'em old school with a sling and a stone.

See somehow i just knew there would be a bleeding hart in here some where. Always is
Dude animals are animals , they are not humans

animals are animals, you are correct. Killing yotes is fine. I get it. hell i would jump at the chance to go hunt them. However, why not put them down clean. There is no need for its last seconds alive to be gasping water into its lungs. Thats just cruel.

Once you get the coyote in the live trap a long underwater swin in the local pond does wonders. I do that with skunks so they don't spray.

Might be wrong, but it seems like you could get in almost as much trouble getting caught doing this as just popping a round into them (probably more trouble than if you took them out of city limits to pop them.)

I understand doing it, but it seems likely to draw complaints to the local PD given the size of the cage and the fact that some idiot seeing you would likely confuse the yote with a dog. Of course, none of this matters if you are not seen.

Didn't read the whole thread but baiting coyotes is NOT legal. Best bet is to find a local trapper that needs some more ground to set traps on. Lotsa folks will do it for the hides and experience.

Fur season ends soon so this option will be gone

I think trapping would be the most effective way to fix her problem and then shoot it with bow.

could always try a .22 cal bolt action with a sub sonic .22 round actually pretty quiet compared to a reg .22. quick and easy you should only need 1-2 shots nobody is gonna call that in when they hear it its gonna sound like an air rifle
