I am on the lookout for them also , if they get too close to the pigs and cows in the pens , they will get a eviction shot also. But they are out of season right now , so long as I dont see them , and nothing gets killed around farm , they will be tolerated , out of sight , out of mind.Coyotes need lots of hunting too. Those things have thrived around here over the years.
Remember those teeth you talked about , getting that close might be a iffy endeavor , they are quite big , and if you trip and fall , you might end up needing a peg leg , LOL.If you find one far from his hole and you sneak up and get between him and his hole he will freeze. After a few trys to get around you he will just sit there nashing his teeth. You can honestly kill them with a baseball bat...
This is a bad plan out of sight out of mind can lead to catastrophic loses, especially for a little guy, meaning non corporate farmer.I am on the lookout for them also , if they get too close to the pigs and cows in the pens , they will get a eviction shot also.

Yep, that going to be my advice, find some afalfa with some suitable living cover close by.They are also fond of clover and alfalfa fields
Had to defend myself from this yuge hog this afternoon. My Shield 9mm M2.0 did the job at about 30 ft. Guessing he weighed close to 15 lbs when I carried him down to the field.

they don't have to be bothering livestock, both coyote and groundhog are open season year round on private property. non owners just need written permission from the owners.Not complaining, our 3 year old Rott/Golden Retriever mix has cleaned out the possums and coons that were invading our barns and now has a new focus on groundhogs this year. Bought a 17 hmr for groundhogs but she is killing and bothering them to the point they have moved out. Not a bad problem at all.
State of Indiana, you can kill coyotes year round on your property if they are bothering livestock. And if they are on your farm, they can be considered bothering them so you are not limited to the season. With written landowner permission you can shoot them year round on other properties also.
The one I got between it and it's den sure didn't freeze. If I didn't sidestep at the last minute it would have ran into me.Some stop, most run to the hole. Comin at ya its a hoot emptying a pistol.
Live trap, some lettuce or cabbage, and a mouse trap will wipe them out completely.My home is out in the woods. Have thinned the herd for years now, they are causing damage to brick pavers. 2nd floor window opens up slowly…44 mag fully suppress barrel rifle pops out the window and they fall dead in there tracks. Score big points with the better half.
Did not know young they where edible.
Good read
