Coyote problem help!!

Ok so we have this huge,has to be male coyote paying our street a visit almost nightly at 9:00pm,the neighbors near my home have chickens so he seems to start on their property,Sunday night he attacked and killed the neighbors dog across the street from me(a toy yorkie)anyway i see this yote almost nightly and i want to eliminate him,so what do i do?or how do i do it?i do hunt coyotes,but i cant shoot him due to the residential neighborhood,and i also live in Denver,so im stuck,i have an E-caller,and lots of mouth calls,decoys etc,do i try to call him in close from my rooftop and nail him with a crossbow?problem is i dont have a crossbow,any loaners out there or somone want to help me out?ideas anything would be great,DOW wont do anything but "educate"on coyotes etc,so any advice would be great,or any help in any way would be gladly appreciated,i live off of lowell and hampden near Bear Creek,the Hat Park etc..........thanks

I have a crossbow, but I don't think I can help.

A). Id bet still illegal to shoot with a crossbow in Denver.
B). Every bolt and broadhead would be toast on that pavement after missing or going through a yote like butter. $40 per shot, doesn't sound too fun.

Trap with bait maybe? Poisoned bait, away from friendly pets?

Not sure what else.

If you're a hunter, you probably have a current small game license so DOW probably won't give a crap if you whack a 'yote on your property. Unfortunately, the People's Republic of Denver will go apoplectic over discharging a deadly weapon within their utopia. If a Denver cop sees you on the rooftop with a crossbow, they would treat it the same as if you had a rifle. You could end up in serious trouble or worse.

You might be able to trap it and have DOW come relocate it. You can't legally trap it and transport a live animal without getting a permit from DOW. Give them a call first. I would imagine the PRD has a tree hugger ordinance against trapping so maybe there's nothing you can do.

I'll bet poisoning is also illegal in PRD. Maybe you could tell them it looks like a pit bull :)

Call animal control. If they give you some bullshit about it not being their problem, call 9News...

Don't try to shoot it or otherwise kill it yourself in Denver, you'll end up arrested for harassing wildlife or something at best, discharging a deadly weapon at worst.

Also, FYI, my 350fps crossbow with dual string stops is easily as loud as 22 Short

Call DOW

Use an Atlatl or a speer, rope it like a steer, throw a tomahawk at it...[Stooge]

on a serious note.. you could live trap it or call DOW or Animal control.
I wouldn't risk shooting it, not even with a crossbow.

Thanks for the advice,yes not a lot I can do,Denver is most of my problem,then the coyote,I guess ill start with the DOW,again they usually just educate you on living among wild animals,ill keep everyone posted on what happens

Your chickens?

No.

Your dog?

No.

Your problem?

No.

Say you think it has rabies.


What do you know you're not a doctor, it may get someone's attention.
