"So put out tasty bait to draw them in and then claim they are the nuisance?"
No you put out tasty bait to kill them - they are already a "nuisance and "in" the towns, neighborhoods etc.

Eventually you will have a serious rabies problem. Our county (as well as most Texas counties) pays a ten dollar bounty for each hide.

"Experts far and wide have said they don't pose a danger to humans," Dickey said.This police chief has his head in full rectal defellade. Dickey and these "experts" never witnessed a coyote munching on the remains of the 8-year-old son of the farmer I know.
Methinks this is just a power play where the "authorities" do not want to have a populace that is able to defend itself. Lots of that going around.

I agree.
But my region out near the Appalachian Escarpment is a wild zone that goes down to Carolinas. We can far more easily handle coyotes than can Fairfield.
While we have our own, there are areas where it wouldn't matter. Plus....we shoot them out here when they become a nuisance. (See...there really are endangered species... :>) LOL)

"Educate the public" that they must change their lives.
Fence your yard. ($$)
Don't let pets out.
And don't let unclawed cats out. This runs counter to those trying to save the songbirds from the hunting housecats that kill millions each year.
This is more that 'education' it is a change in the lives of citizens. It will be ridiculed.

No you put out tasty bait to kill them - they are already a "nuisance and "in" the towns, neighborhoods etc. And putting out poison bait in town that will kill any animal dumb enough to be attracted to easy food is callous arrogance. It is illegal for a reason. I hope your dog never gets out.

At my rural home there are five or six groups of coyotes that are identifiable when they start singing. We have outdoor cats and several small dogs that spend a lot of time outside in their pen (they have their own door) that would make good coyote snacks. I have kept the 'yotes off the property (about 13 acres) by walking the perimeter every couple of weeks and marking my territory the same way the coyotes do. My only male dog, Maynard (named after the captain that killed Blackbeard the pirate or after Maynard G. Krebs, depending on how he is behaving) helps me in this task.
It seems to work. I would rather not kill off the 'yotes as I like to set out in the dark and listen to them and look at the stars.

I am a coyote hunter. Get a screaming rabbit call, or a howler call, callem' in close, and killem'. I use a .223 AR-15, with a bull barrel and custom trigger. Check our varmintal.com for pics of coyote depredation damage. Good luck. There is nothing cooler than watching a coyote come in to a call. Dust'em!

1 - coyotes are already killing pets in the community
2 - he has already discussed it with his neighbors
3 - the poison is on his property
4 - the poison isn't going to be out there for months
If the general consensus is it's too dangerous to pets then that's the answer. But if, as in #1, coyotes are killing unattended pets anyway and the fear is children are next, I guess I will just have to be guilty of "callous arrogance".

Get out of your car with anything in your hand and they are gone. Right you are. Once I was doing some landscaping when a coyote came up to the fence. My basenjis, being curious pups (they're lots faster than a coyote, and could get away if needed) were showing too much interest, so I put the shovel to my shoulder like a rifle and the coyote sped away.

Coyotes are not indiginous to Ohio, and should be treated like any other foreign pest: eradicated to protect the natural environment.
Let the eco-nazis argue with that.

The solution in any neighborhood is to buy big dogs - they don't like hanging around. Where I live, there are coyote in the vicinity, but back on my specific street, there are enough really large dogs that they steer well clear.
