What to do with coyotes?

Dig a decent sized hole and plant something on top like a Rhodo or an Azalea, or maybe a fruit tree?
 
Not much can be done with them. The hides are worthless.
I have piles of them on my property, I just let them live. Shooting them is fun but I don’t have any illusions that its a good thing. Most farmers in the area are completely unbothered by coyotes.

I believe that a dead 'yote is a good 'yote. That's not an illusion,it's a fact. Farmers in this area notice an uptick in livestock predation during calving season and throughout the winter. Many Sheep operators I know carry rifles whenever they're out and about like a mechanic carries a wrench.
 
Maybe on Open Range but in any sort of Paddock Coyotes are zero threat to Cattle. I've seen Cows chasing Black Bears, they're far from defenceless.

They are absolutely a threat to smaller Domestic Animals as well as Fawns and young Deer. They take down many Deer in their first Winter.

Every farmer I know, and I'm related to quite a few, that has any farm animals or poultry are quite happy when you kill any coyotes on their property. - dan
 
I have a coworker who takes all the coyotes that I can bring her. She keeps the beetles for stripping the flesh and is happy to keep them working. She only uses the head and the tail for her display. Once she sells a few of her displays she shows up at work with a bottle of rum for payment. The biggest problem I have this year is a lot of the coyotes I shoot have mange. I leave those where they drop.
 
Into the bush they go . Late next summer just try and find their remains , I dare you!!!
I know this because I put my total winter kill of 20 ( last winter) in one spot. Next summer ,,,, no sign of them !!
 
The deer populations have plummeted throughout Saskatchewan. I kill every coyote I can.

And the deer are getting slaughtered again this year with the lack of snow.
I’ve been out 5 times for yotes, not managed to get them close enough to plug
But what I’ve noticed, the yotes are following the deer everywhere in the fields I’ve been on.

I got 6 of them today. One from the side of the road, one on a stand overlooking a stubble field, and 4 on 1 stand overlooking a river valley.

I started with a jackrabbit distress call, had one come charging in from the river bottom. He stopped broadside at 150 yards so I plugged him. I immediately started blowing a fawn distress call after the shot and had 3 more coming in from my right side. When the first one crested the hill to my right I barked at him, he stopped and I dropped him at 100 yards. As his pack mate ran down the bottom of the draw back towards the river I took a shot at him and rolled him over (lucky shot). I reloaded my mag and just for the hell of it I did another sequence of fawn distress calls. Lo and behold another coyote comes charging up the hill directly in front of me and I killed him about 30 yards from where the first one died.

It was a pretty awesome day.

Very Awesome.
