RE: PROBLEM WITH FOXES AND COYOTES
 

My neighbor has one of those big white dogs (not even going to attempt to spell it).It is very effectivewith their farm preditor problems. It likes to sit by the road and wait for cars to come by too! Good luck Chrissy!

The dog you are referring to is also the Great Pyrenes(sp?) referenced in the last post. I have heard both good and bad things from owners of these dogs. It seems as though it all depends on the individual dogs.


Trapping is probably the most effective way to control the foxes, but the coyotes may be another story. The best way around here is to snare the coyotes in a fence crossing.

I would suggest you contact the Game and Fish Department with the problem. I don't know about any of the eastern states but in the west if you have predator problems there are state trappers that will come out and take care of the problem for nothing. There are also people that do this for a small fee and do it for a living. The G&F may also know some responsible trappers near you that could help out. Not being and outdoorswoman I wouldn't recommend you target coyotes and foxes right out of the box. They are extremely smart and hard to trap. They get educated very quickly and the last thing you want or need is a bunch of coyotes that nobody can catch.

22 mag or bigger with a spot light. if you can get close use a shot gun; 12; 20; 410 all will do the trick. good luck.

WOW! What's your address. If I lived closer I'd be happy to thin out the herd for you. If ya want to do away with the predators, all you have to do is call them in. A cheap decoy can be made from feathers and tied to a 3-ft. stick with monofiliment fishing line. Stake out your decoy and call into the wind using a game call. Make sure to wear camo, hide in shadow and have the sun at your back, if possible. Call early in the morning, at dusk or in the evening using a red lens over a light to scan for eyes. Check out my website for some tips. www.predatormagnetgamecalls.com If baiting with scent is legal in your state, try a sock full of old sardines. Smells like s%$# but will pull in the yotes and mask your scent. If ya need more help, e-mail me through my website. I'd bring my hunting dog too.

If there is a rural high school just go their and post a notice advitising free abundant coyote hunting. If you don't get a reply in two days, you're not far enough in the sticks.:D Most schools will one or two guys who will jump at the chance.
