Best way to trap

[timeout]

I had two neighbors that had a big feud over the one morons dog that constantly ran loose. I once saw this dog drink {no B.S.} at least a full quart of anti freeze. It was mixed with some hamburger meat. This was back when it still smelled and tasted sweet. The dog didn't even get sick. He then tried to poison it with Chlordane, a now banned tobacco plant spray for insects. Chlordane was banned because it was supposed to be such a deadly chemical. Tobacco farmers had to get a special permit to obtain and use it. It was very high concentrated and contained, if I remember right 52% pure raw liquid nicotine. Nicotine is supposed to be this extremely deadly poison in pure liquid form.
Another batch of hamburger and chlordane, except this time to get the dog to ingest it he put it in a capsule. The dog ate it and he thought surely this time the dog was gone...three days later the owner was telling others that "he didn't know what happened to the dog, he suddenly got sick and slept for two days straight"...he laid around for a few more, but the dog survived. Well, long enough to attack a third neighbor and end up getting shot by the police.
I have had coon hounds get bit multiple times by copperheads and timber rattlers, I have seen people feed them glass in meat, every kind of supposed poison that can be obtained short of cyanide and they always survive.
I am aware of Golden Malrin fly bait and I know it will kill a raccoon, etc. It is illegal to set out poison around here but many people still do it. I have a buddy whose dog ate some one night and he got sick but even that didn't kill him. I would never try it, but my experience has been that a dog is next to impossible to poison. From what I have witnessed over the years, all the constantly repeated "recipes" we all know and love to pass on just do not work. I wouldn't recommend testing any of them on your kids, but your dogs are safe.
If some one sets out antifreeze, I don't care what brand or kind it is and the dog that drinks it dies....he either had heartworms or a heart attack.

I can't explain why the dog didn't die but I will say whoever was intentionally trying to poison it is an Azzhole. Not the way to correct the situation.

Might try a box or 2 of mothballs, might encourage them move somewhere else.

No, it was not the way to correct it...it got corrected with a bullet.

I second this

That's not the correct way either. It isn't the dog's fault.

coyotes are hard to trap although perhaps if yours is young he might be fooled. Use KFC and tie the pieces to the back of the cage so they have to stand and chew and pull at it. Good luck!

They do respond to hunting pressure by producing larger litters. Now is a good time to try thinning out the pack, before the cubs are born. But it will only be temporary.

Your best bet is to keep kitties in and get a livestock guardian type dog or dogs.

Yep, I agree...the owner that let the dog get into trouble inn the first place is the real problem.

This has worked well for me here in south Fl. A plastic water bottle with about a dozen mothballs. Poke holes in the bottle and I put them in all of my outside cabniets, under the house, or anywhere bugs or mice/rats can get into. Works amazingly well. I dont know about larger critters, my two labs are more than willing to take care of critters. E
