Coyote Control

[KS63]

My kids babysitters neighbor had their Yorkie ripped to shreds in their backyard off of Quincy and E-470 this past weekend. They called Animal Control and they were no help. This coyote seems to be getting more and more aggressive and they they have more pets and children that play in the backyard. The yard is fenced 4' high and the coyote somehow jumped over it. Any suggestions for this situation? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That sucks.. my only advice is to get taller privacy fence and install dog roller along the top.

That and dont leave pets out during predatory hunting hours

4' is actually an easy hop for most large dogs

Coyotes can get over a lot of fences. 4' fence is no problem. I've seen deer jump over my 6 foot privacy fence with no problem. I think we had another thread about a coyote problem somewhere. From what I remember, legally, you can't shoot it since it's within city limits. Wolf urine around the property line can keep them away but the coyote may get wise to it if he never see's a wolf.

Compound bow, problem solved. No firearm discharged within city limits.

I have suppressed rim and center fire's as needed.

I keep a small pistol crossbow for this since I live in city limits. I also have a 6' privacy fence, more to keep my escape artist dogs in, but it can keep coyotes out.

Livestock electric fence. String two wires about 8 inches above fence, one to pos, one to neg. Dogs learn fast that the zap hurts and don't go back. Coyotes should react similarly and likely wont see the lines in the dark until it gets into them. It is how I taught my dogs to quit climbing over the privacy fence and also to stay out of the garden.


If in city limits, bows and crossbows are often lumped into the firearm category for discharge in city limits. If that matters to you.

Yeah but then you might have a yote running around with an arrow in it and that's gonna draw attention.

My sitter talked about a compound bow, but I told her to hold off on that idea since I didn't research Laws concerning letting one fly in city limits in Aurora.
