    That's fast acting poison, do you know #1 what kind they used and #2 if it will work on Coyotes?

    It was some kind of powdered fly poison (supposed to be mixed with water to spray) that he mixed up with koolaid. That was his idea, not mine. It obviously worked, but it was something I wouldn't have tried myself.

    It's called golden marlin, Don't think its legal to use other then what its intended to be used for killing flies. I've never used it know people that have. I don't think it will work on coyotes. Supposidly its ok to use around dog becuase they'll puke it up before dieing from it.

    I did not know that. It doesn't get excited as you approach it with a blanket? I suppose you could sneak up on it or something.

    I used to catch them in cage traps, right up against houses in the 'burbs. Killed them with a lethal injection from a syringe.

    Only had one spray and that was because the guy holding the flashlight wigged out at the last minute and the skunk did a startled dying mini-squirt at him.
