When you say you can't do anything about it are you referring to legally ?That's a few chickens, 4 baby cows, two ducks and a cat. They also run the deer havent seen a deer on the property in about six months. I can't do anything about it. Anyone have experience hunting these monsters. they only come out at about 1 or 2 am.
Im not getting any help until after deer season. I still don't know if dude is just blowing smoke or not. He says hes got predator calls and some varmint rifles . I don't want just anyone poking around here. The local dnr doesn't seem to do shit about it. They're more interested in busting violators. When it comes to actual field work and animal control they are worthless. I already told them about the big cat sighting and they just laughed at me and said I didn't see one.When you say you can't do anything about it are you referring to legally ?
They can be a bitch to trap as they learn very quickly, but have you thought about putting an add in the newspaper or on craigs list to allow selected predator hunters to try and cull some ?
Talk to your Dept of Natural resources (fish & game office) - they may be helpful.

It seems to me that if you're losing livestock and pets they damn sure should have some options for you.Im not getting any help until after deer season.

I will be talking to them soon. Thanks for the advise.It seems to me that if you're losing livestock and pets they damn sure should have some options for you.
Also, many states have "contract" predator hunters just for this reason.I will be talking to them soon. Thanks for the advise.
You can't poison or trap them in most scenario's - too much chance granny smith's dog getting into the bait/trap. Calling is only gonna work once or twice before they figure that out as well so whom ever does it better be good at it & knock em down the first time they show.Do what farmers do?
Bait them and shoot them?
Farmers are allowed to trap or shoot any crop damaging animals usually, most definitely coyotes. No permit needed.You can't poison or trap them in most scenario's - too much chance granny smith's dog getting into the bait/trap.
