This weekend I was discussing the exploding coyote population situation with a fellow from Georgia and he mentioned a not so humane method of "catching" coyotes. It got me to thinking of other methods to trap/catch coyotes I have heard over the years. Not sure any of them actually work but would be interested to hear factual information about what does work to catch or trap them.
The method discussed was hanging a sturdy treble hook via steel cable leader about 4 feet above the ground from a stout overhanging tree limb near a known coyote run and baiting the hook with meat. It was said the coyote would be hanging there when you return the next morning.
I have also heard of using snares, calling, and poison. Something has to work on these critters, just need to know what.
