coyotes can be trapped if you are in an area where you can not shoot them..

coyotes can be trapped in any area weather you can discharge a firearm or not.
All you need to do is remove them from trap a live and transport them to area where they can be dispatched safely

I've heard that a donkey will protect livestock like chickens and goats from coyotes...I suppose a donkey would kick the living crap out of 'em!

Yes the Indy Star makes for hilarious reading. When I worked at the DNR you could count on certain writers to get any natural resources issue totally wrong.

I suppose it's in part due to the proliferation of journalism schools that teach students to be "journalists" when a little real-life experience is what's needed...

I always thought it was hilarious when people slap subdivisions up in fields and wooded areas, and next thing you know, "Oh my goodness, There's deer and coyotes in OUR neighborhood." You're in their neighborhood.....

Then they start feeding them! Ya' just gotta' love it!

is it illegal to shoot them if they attack a neighborhood pet? If one got ahold of my dog, it would be real hard not to shoot it.

just don't fire a warning shot. guy did that in Carmel with a couple attacking dogs and got in a pile of **** for it.

The star is a worthless rag. I would not line a bird cage with it... though I would use it to wipe my arse if I ran out of toilet paper. I would use the page with danny crapenter's "column" for the first wipe.

not sure a donkey would protect them but a dead doney is GREAT bait for trapping. A friend of mine piled the coyotes and fox up trapping near a single dead donkey carcuss a few years ago

Are we sure it's yotes? Could be yokels.

Maybe gun owners that don't wear glasses taking out the pets, thinking they are coyotes.....

Stranger things have happened.
