My dad's been complaining about the growing 'yote problem where he lives (near Prattville, AL). Mom's upset 'cause all of "her" cats are...nobody seem'em in a long time. Their neighbor claims to have seen a coyote playing with her dogs in the morning once or twice.

I was thinking of hanging a dripper with 'yote urine in the trees in the back. It's still a fairly rural area, so no problems discharging firearms. How long generally do you have to let one hang before setting up on it? I've never done this, so I'm asking you guys with experience.

I've got a small e-caller from Primos, 4 sounds. I'll have access to a .270 which would prolly make a mess of one. Would a .22LR have enough umph to so it? If you've done this, and/or have hunted yotes in AL, I'd be interested in hearing your advice.
