With the recent snows, I discovered that I have Coyotes making regular trips through my property and into bordering woods. Some of my neighbors have spotted two together, so I was wondering what would be the best way to get rid of them.
I do have a 22 rifle, but am in a thick residential area, and i'm within earshot of the Police station

. I have a bow, but don't think I have a chance at night with it - when they seem to be out moving around.
Do I try to poison, - live trap + relocate, - call an exterminator

.
I'd like to get rid of them, there's some little kids (elementary school also) and pets all around.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Happy + healthy 2003 to all.
