We've had coyotes invading our pasture at night, but I just walked up on one in the middle of the day! It ran off, but I think I found evidence that multiple coyotes may be living on my property uncomfortably close to our house.

I wish we still had our coyotes. They keep the rodents down and since the hunters have decimated the pack, the rodent problem in this area has been horrendous! They never bothered our barn cats or chickens, unlike the fox that have moved in to fill the void. I'd take coyotes over fox any day.
That's an interesting point of view! They haven't been messing with our chickens, so far; even though we leave the coop door open at night. And we have noticed fewer rodents this winter compared to last year. Maybe we're better off just keeping a tentative truce.
Thanks for the perspective!

From my understanding, cyotes can not see red lights...so you could get some lights that shine red light and then you can hunt the cyotes at night when the timid animals are generaly more active.
You most likely do not need to worry about a cyote attach because I think that they are more scared of you than what you are of them.
