I've got a bit of a coyote problem I'm wondering how to deal with.
Coyotes have been hanging around my (wooded suburban) yard for the past few months and getting very bold. We're seeing them regularly, in broad daylight, within 20 feet of the house. They don't seem particularly concerned about humans and if yelled at or approached, just casually trot away.
The other day one took a $*@& on my doorstep . People I know in the area have had their leashed dogs attacked by coyotes while walking, and a few weeks ago I saw two of them stalking one of my neighbors with his small dogs . My wife is concerned about playing outside with our 18 month old son.
If I was outside the city limits (one side of my property is the city line) and a little further from my neighbors, I'd know exactly what to do .
So how would you encourage these 'yotes to be a little less comfortable and more wary?
