Excellent post.
The animal control officer here in San Diego also told me the coyote will go along a fence and make some noise - and when a domestic dog comes out to check it out - the coyote will jump the fence and kill the dog. Wily Coyotes - sooo smart.

Here's my new house dog Waylon, he's 6 months old on 8-14. The results of over 35 years with the same blood line! He's flat out nuts!

I missed this one earlier this year, just a couple miles from me. I live in a tract home and these were outside my fence last night, dudes got some big teeth and the other lost part of his ear. The pictures were good but I took a picture of the computer screen. They get thru the neighborhoods by running along the drainage swales and can see some of their trails on google earth.

Had the same thing happen with 2 of our cats. We had those cats for 12 years! So I made SURE it would come back with some venison placed out at night. I live in a subdivision so firearm was out of the question (even though several neighbors told me they wouldn't mind). I boned up on my crossbow skills and nailed the thing. Both lungs and heart shot and I still had to follow the blood trail about 50 yards through a vacant lot, in other words VERY satisfactory ending. Good luck!

This guy uses an MB-650 offset jaw trap that supposedly doesn't hurt the paw. I don't trap so I have no clue.

Not entirely true. I use Minnesota Brand Cast offset jaws and they will scuff up the skin
but don't break bones. Offset means when closed the jaws have about a 1/4 inch gap between them The cast iron jaws are thicker spreading out the pressure.
they also sell laminated jaws but I like cast.
A normal trap closes with the jaws touching and are bent steel not cast iron.
Those 650's have really strong springs! I use a setter.

Cats. They work great.
Ours could never survive a night outside so I went on a 10-year coyote shoot. Killed 77 over that time on two small ranches just north of the house.

Hit on the road. I pick up Groundhogs for bait also..It only takes a tad of paste bait.

(Ground fermented Mice..Cats )
This thread has my interest as we have been dealing with the devil dogs for a few years. We live on the NC coast in a small drinking village with a fishing problem, 15 years ago the county had a feral cat problem today none. It was common to hear of 3-5 pets or ferals to get gone weekly and at times nightly.
Our county allows for 24/7/365 with NV and suppressed if you have it as does 95 out of 100 counties in NC. The remaining 5 counties are involved with Red Wolf hybrids and tree huggers. Most all hunt clubs have a shoot on sight policies.
My latest run in went down as I was giving RJ (my 5 yo Carolina Dingo Dog) his last property patrol before lights out. We exit the cottage and RJ bolts towards the pond, I sweep him with my light to see his target is a large yote. So RJ being the super dog that he thinks he is bolts right in behind the bait yote. By the time I get to the area where he left the yard he comes trotting out with 2 yotes in tow, the first dove back into the woods when I racked the slide, the second continued straight towards us with her nose on the ground. This is with a Streamlite on her face, at 20 yards i planted her.
This happened so fast that there would have been no saving the dog if I was not there and armed. Funny side was the wife coming out wanting to know what the yelling and gun shot was all about.
OP, sorry for your loss, I can fully understand your anger.

Try a few of these on for size:
I was sure lucky to have my Lucy all 65 lbs of her. She did not put up with coyotes. Several tried to chase here across some fields. she would claim the high ground and let it be known they were not welcome. They would see her and turn 180. She never did lose an encounter. She was extremely fast and could outmaneuver anything.
