After living in Kansas for 4 1/2 years I probably know more about Coyote behavior than the EP does around here. The ONLY time they will come in after some ting is if the natural food supply is low OR you are leaving food outside ( dog and cat food is a big no no ). Some non lethal things you can try are, 1 pee around your property line ( not a big deal when I was in Kansas, the closest house was 3/4 of a mile away from mine ), 2 poop in there normal path typically along fence lines or hedge rows, this is a little harder to do but dog poop works well to. 3 vary your routine, they are on a schedule if you switch yours up you can screw there's up ( i hade one that would come down the hedge row every evening within 10 min of 6:30. They are cowards by nature and don't like you to see them. I would trap them from time to time when the market for hide's was up and would be happy to lend you a hand but i don't think leg hold traps are legal here. If you can shoot them the best way is find where they come by in there daily rounds and set up down wind, go get a rabbit squall ( like a duck call but make the sound a dyeing rabbit ) blow on it from 3 to 5 times very fast and wait a while, if they are around they will come to investigate, when you have a good shot whistle they will stop and look to see what it was and bang your dead my furry friend. one note about the whistle, if you miss for the rest of there life they will run like HE double hockey sticks every time they hear someone whistle.
