I live in Jenison and I have 5 acres in the back yard. I have coyotes right in the middle of Jenison. They are all over the place over here. I have had them with their nose on my slider door and my cats hissing at them. Almost got one last year with my .17 Ruger. I also have 10 acres in Hopkins and had one follow me all the way to my truck at about 1 am. I thought it was my uncles dog until I got a flashlight and hit it with the beam....and then my .40 cal.
If you have them.....and you know where they will be, kill em. They take cats, small dogs, pheasants, ducks, and lots of deer.
Yes, I don’t hunt them. And they’re not stupid, and when they’re just hanging around, which is what they do, they don’t present shooting opportunities.
