Need some help here.
I'm not having any luck trapping coyotes here in my backyard in suburban Atlanta. I know that they are there because I've seen them even during the day. I keep getting raccoons, possums, sometimes my own cat and the neighbors dog--but no coyotes. Using four good leghold traps and tried various commercial baits, but the coyotes seem to sense a "trap" and steer clear. Any suggestions ? Or should I just go back to (safely) shooting them with my shotgun when I get the chance which isn't often.
