What’s the best way to get rid of a large (10+) pack of coyotes? The farmer cleared a large section of trees and has lots of brush piles so I’m sure their den is somewhere in there (I have no idea where). Checked my cameras today and have 10x the coyotes to deer/turkey, coyotes with fawns in their mouth, and 0 other fawn pics. Not kidding you I had a camera with only coyotes in it for 40+ pictures. What’s my best option this time of year without burning the piles? It’s been dry and I don’t think that’s an option. Will they move on or stay in that den all year? I need to get rid of them and need options to do so. I’ve never trapped or anything and have never had this type of problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
What’s the best way to get rid of a large (10+) pack of coyotes? 5.56 and .223 and add a couple friends with the same. Bait them, learn to kill them and bait them again. You can't starve them, you can't displace them, you can't make them leave. Kill them, they can't come back from death.
They will move on once they eat all the food. Coyotes have roughly a 10 mile range and cycle thru that range. If you can't actively hunt them nonstop, then your next best option is to trap them or hire someone. But you will be restricted to a trapping season. I'm going thru the same problem and am doing trapping and night hunting. But I'm having a hard time. It takes alot of time. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
A good trapper is the best way to remove them in the shortest amount of time. Hides aren't "in season", so a professional will likely charge for the service. An amateur trapper may do it for free, just for the practice. Especially if you offer them the access to trap the property again this winter. If there is livestock pasture in the vicinity, some sort of livestock association may help with cost, or even foot the whole bill. Fish and Game may have some program that helps too, especially with the pics you have. If you go the trapping route, be sure to think about your dogs and neighbor's dogs and take what steps you can to keep them away from the area while traps are set out.
Planned on getting a sunset pic of a big buck. Coyote will do I guess. Fam out for a stroll. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That sucks Jake, if you decide to burn the piles I can grease the wheels to get a permit and will help you burn.
I would advertise free access to those who hunt them. There are some hardcore guys in my area that get after them. Night vision setups is the way to go in baited areas or where livestock is near. This is what a group of these guys did in a weekend.
Everyone who I've talked to in the area says they should likely be moving on once the pups get a bit bigger. That is a relief but still sucks that they've gotten most of the fawns this spring. Waiting it out to see if they leave and if not will have my buddies get in there with their traps.
