Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted July 21, 2017 I had 9 laying hens and a rooster and then added my replacement crop that I hatched out in early May to the pen! Two weeks later I had"something" dig a hole and kill all 14 of my replacement young ones plus two of my older hens!!! Trail Cam Time!!! I have a 5 acre parcel with my closest neighbor half a mile away......so my question is??? Can I use a jaw trap for this coyote? Do I have to have a trappers permit? I actually caught this varmint cutting across my property yesterday....if I'd had a shotgun I woulda let him have it!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
el diablo Report post Posted July 21, 2017 Coyotes are year round. Dont ask dont tell either way. Had a bob cat kill our two goats a few yrs back, was outta season, and the G&F officer gave us permission to kill it if it came back. In such circumstances its better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saguaro Report post Posted July 21, 2017 I hope you don't live out there with the crazy weirdos. There was a lady named June Goodman that went missing out there maybe 15 years ago. I always wonder if they will find out more about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always wonder if they will find out more about that. Yep, that one is still a mystery............and there are some pretty sketchy home owners out that direction......I live on the west outskirts of city limits.....not to say we don't have some out that direction either!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good. That is a much better place. I've watched a friends house out that direction and felt real safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomC Report post Posted July 21, 2017 Chicken wire does not keep out coyotes. Wire needs to be extended out on or in the ground. You just as well make a box trap big enough for a coyote as it will be a continuous problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeardownAZ Report post Posted July 21, 2017 As mentioned, chicken wire does nothing for predators and you have to go into the ground with fencing or go out about a foot or so along the entire perimeter. Depending on your setup, Id use those welded horse panels from tractor supply then line the lower 2 ft or so with wire mesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazz Report post Posted July 30, 2017 New River.. I have the same problem. Dropped 3 deuces outside my door- 1 each night. I setup a cam- doesn't come back. When he does.. I have a broadhead ready. I think it's after the pet rabbit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couzer Report post Posted July 31, 2017 Yes you can use a jaw trap if it meets arizonas laws, only on private property, and no trappers licenses needed, just have documentation and proof (pics) that the coyotes, bobcats etc are killing them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyC Report post Posted July 31, 2017 Hey vowell! It sounds like we need to have a hunt on his property buddy. I'll bring the shotgun, haha. We've been getting tons of coyotes here and I think the monsoon has been bringing them in closer. I saw two decent sized coyotes roadkill off the 79. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cell4soul Report post Posted August 1, 2017 I am sure there is no shortage of guys on this forum that will be more than happy to come out there with a caller and fill the coyotes' brains with #4 buckshot. It would be a heck of a lot more fun than trapping anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
