Live Trapping Coyotes

Our second farm dog growing up was "Tucker", the friendly big Rottweiler mutt you could have related to, we never weighed him but he'd have to have been over 130lbs. He was one of the kindest dogs I've ever known but made pretty spooky messes of the few coyotes he managed to catch. Same deal as Dutchess he healed up easily each time and was very "Look brother!" about the ripped up pulp of coyote.
 
Living in town, why not do the same as the 'Found Dog' Kijiji ads we've seen in the past and just drop him off at the pound or SPCA locally LOL

I would go with what Papaclaude said.
You could get set up in a way that there would be very little noise and try a few practice shots.

Yeah but if the guy lives just on the edge of Kingston (like he seems to say) I would not reccomend that. Shooting a firearm inside Kingston city limits, like most cities, is banned and I would not mess with that for a number of resasons. Too dangerous even with a .22 sub sonic. If you got caught shooting a firearm within city limits (even if you are basically outside of town) it would be the end of your firearms forever, license, and a probably a nice big fine. Not worth it.

If the OP was more specific about how far outside of Kingston he is it would help... I used to live in Kingston, I know the areas a little on the "edge of town" and I would not advise shooting in those areas. To be honest, I'm not even sure I would shoot pellet guns there, it would depend on the specific area of the OP. He says he cant shoot in his area so I would not try to convince him a .22 sub sonic round would be ok.
 
I know a guy with a pair of lurchers. He won't let them loose if the coyote has a good hide because they will rip the coyote right in half before they are done.


Super fast and strong, the pair can shred a coyote in about 15 seconds.

Hmm. That was... Hmmm. Yeah.

I'll just stick to high-velocity lead poisoning.

Ha! Duchess hauled every carcass up onto the deck and left them in front of the BBQ... I started to think she was asking for a coyote steak.
 
I wouldn't want my dog fighting with a coyote as who knows what kind of bacterial infections he could pick up through bite or puncture wounds? And as for eastern vs western coyotes I don't really think from any research I have read that there is such a thing as a purebred coyote in eastern canada? They seem to be primarily hybrids. I can remember years back when coydogs were a huge problem in southeastern ontario. I drove into a friends yard one day and he had 7 dead in the driveway from a hunt the previous day. They were all wild dogs but a couple resembled a shepherd as much as they did a coyote and were on the order of pushing 50+ pounds not like the 20-35 pounders I have shot here in Saskatchewan. Those coydogs looked like a formidable foe for any size domestic dog and apoarently were devestating on the deer.
 
Every coyote I have seen in this corner of NorOnt over the past four decades has looked like a "classic" coyote... but some of them are 50% larger in size than the western coyotes I have seen...

ok then. I would never try to convince someone to break the law.
Was just saying what I might do.

That's how a friend does it, but he does have a trapping licence. He sells then to a game farm and gets more for them live than skinning them and selling the pelts. Win win situation as his wife won't let him skin them in the house garage any more. The stink of a thawed out coyote ready for skinning is something to behold.
 
I'm literally the last property inside the municipal "no discharge" bylaw zone.

Not sure shooting a coyote (even quietly or stealthily)is worth the risk. I like my guns too much.

get flybait, at your local feed mill.
put some in a pie tin, mix with pepsi.
place outside.
animals CRAVE it.
they will fall dead within a few yards.

This is by no means, suggesting you do this.
just a FYI

Be careful with this. Dogs or any pet could drink it.

The Pepsi is for the sweetness....the flybait will kill a coon within 20feet of ingesting it.

I highly discourage from people using it unless it's in your own barn or out of sight....you might wake up with 15 dead coons on the laneway....seen it before
