Drowning them isn't very humane, better to end it quickly with buckshot or an arrow
I use those traps and a .22 to protect my chickens, it allows me the release part in case a non chicken predator gets into the trap.
I have a trap you can borrow weasel. It does take any and all sport out of it though.
I'd watch your pooch. Breeding season is almost here for coyotes. They get even more territorial. I know a lady that let her little yappy dog out for a wizz one night....Heard a noise, Turned around just too see wiley carrying its next meal to the bush.....
a pair of coyotes should shred a dog pretty quick, Even a big sheppard, Seen that before too.

If you do end up killing one, make sure you cut off it's head and stick it on a post closest to where the coyotes enter the yard.
These things gossip to one another. They'll see it and be like "Damn...did you see what they did to Todd?"
Then when they go check out his severed head, shoot them too. Repeat steps as necessary.

Neighbor lost a cat last year.
If I had a dog, I wouldn't put him/her out without a spiked neck collar.
keep the gun handy, You might have to shoot one while its gnawing on its buddies head. They don't seem to mind eating their own lol

agreed, poison is not the way to go, a very very bad idea!

I don't like the poison idea either, its nonspecific and will net you more crows, magpies, foxes, and neighbor's dogs than coyotes. I don't know what the legislation in Ontario is, but here power snares can only be used on RTLs. Although not nearly as bad as poison, if traps are to be set, its best to make the sets as specific as possible, but local pets and kids can end up where they shouldn't be. If I was you, I'd try my hand at calling, and select a firearm that was appropriate to your immediate circumstances.

I hadn't considered the other critters that may happen by, was just spiting out an idea, I guess chances are low to get him with that. Tricky with pets and kids involved

You have that backwards Boomer. Common snares only in RTL's, power snares in Open Area. They have the legislation that way as people may tend to forget a $0.25 common snare, whereas they generally remember to pick up a $20 power snare in the heavier human/pet traffic Open Area.

I had to look it up, and there appears to have been changes made in this regard. At one time power snares were considered a big deal, and warning signs had to be put out and be plainly visible, but now spring powered snares are not even mentioned in the regulations. They do say that common snares are not legal outside the RTLs except for under the ice snares set for beaver, otherwise snares set on land must have a locking device. A locking device on a snare does not a power snare make.

For trapping on land on species where it's legal to use snares:
Common snare- RTL only
Power snare- RTL and Open Area

I made no mention of drowning. A call to the MNR after you catch one and they come out and - a) dispatch and take it away or B) take it away and release it some where else. Not your problem, your problem has been removed. Repeat until the problem is solved. If neighbour's homes, kids are to close to consider hunting the yotes, you do what is safe.

Any update weasel? Im fairly close to your loc. and would be interested if anything has transpired.
Have a look at the use of guardian dogs. I have one, and she has cornered coyotes in the yard for me to shoot, and now that she's bigger, she keeps the yotes right away... Although I think 2 dogs would be better, as sometimes it seems one yote will keep her busy at one end of the yard, while another sneaks in. That being said, I have seen a lot fewer yote tracks in my yard this winter than I have before I got her.
