Best Way to Get Rid of Coyotes

[linebacker]

If I had cattle, goats etc and coyotes were killing them I would do whatever I had to do to stop them. Donkeys in with livestock will at least keep them at bay. A small amount of cotton poison (timic) mixed with hamburger meat is the easiest way to get rid of them.

Kill every single one!

DNR advised that those are all LEGAL when it comes to trapping yotes and that no permits are needed for YOTES....

Legal or not it's disgusting.

Are you being serious? If you really are, and not just trolling, if you'd like to post or PM who told you that I'll be happy to make sure they get educated.
It is absolutely ILLEGAL to hang hooks for coyotes (or any animal for that matter), it is illegal to use poison, and you MUST have a trapping license to trap yotes. The only difference is they may be trapped 365, outside of trapping season.

It's not legal and it is disgusting. Can't think of many animals I have less "use" for but I would never do that. Poison is equally idiotic if not worse and obviously more indiscriminate. But there are some pretty big (in some cases) federal fines for those that get caught doing it so that's always fun to see.

27-3-68. Confiscation and disposal of unlawful devices


It shall be the duty of conservation rangers to confiscate any trap, pitfall, deadfall, scaffold, catch, snare, net, salt lick, blind pig, baited hook, or other similar device used in violation of the wildlife laws, rules, and regulations and to dispose of same as directed by the commissioner.

No trolling here, you certainly do not have to have a license to trap Coyotes in Georgia...http://www.georgiawildlife.com/Trapping

Furbearer Species

O.C.G.A. § 27-1-2 (31) "Fur-bearing animals" means the following animals: mink, otter, raccoon, fox, opossum, muskrat, skunk, bobcat, and weasel.

I have set several traps to rid the area of as many of these yotes as possible... all with the assistance of the Local DNR officer and Local PD... you don't need a name just call The DNR and ask them yourself, just like I did... you can get frustraited thats fine but I suggest you find out from yourself. If you must know I spoke with several folks at the DNR office:

"Several folks" doesn't help. If you can give me a name I'll get them properly instructed. If you are setting traps without a license and got someone from DNR to help you, how about just their name? The species listed are those that can only be taken during trapping season. A coyote is not a furbearer. That means it can be taken outside of the season but you still need a license to trap them.


I posted the confiscation law about hooks above. I meant to post this;
27-3-8. Unlawful devices
It shall be unlawful for any person to make use of any pitfall, deadfall, catch, snare, trap, net, salt lick, blind pig, baited hook, or other device for the purpose of taking any game animal or game bird or any other wildlife, except as otherwise provided in this title or by rule or regulation of the board.

Coyotes are not on that list.

You don't need names because you can call and find out just like I did... All of the regs you posted pertain to "Furbearing species"

Any "game" amimal...read the regs...
