I guess I should add that I plan to kill it. I am allowed to discharge a firearm in my township and I know ohio says there's no limits on when or how many to kill

All they do is cause problems.. i would take it out before it tries to take your dog.

Some people bait em, some people use a decoy and a E-caller. For those like you.. who just have them hop in the backyard and harass the dog, its easier.

 

22mag and up in rifles will take them,

for under 40-50 yards a 12ga with #4 buck works really well.

One coyote will get a dog to chase him to the pack where they are waiting for dinner to come running in. The tourists with dogs keep the coyotes well fed around here since they allow their dogs to run free and many never come back.

 

Here in southeastern Utah they are a every where. You can get 50 bucks for ears from the Utah DWR.

 

They get rather brave out here in packs and will come right into your camp at night if you are quiet, and at that time, I have taken out a few with my .40 that I carry all the time.

 

For longer distances, I have used a .223 (.22 just does not have the range, in my opinion), and on one occasion used my Weatherby Mark V .460 mag, which I had with me, believe me, it was an overkill.

 

Be careful where you shoot them when close to another house. In MI where i used to live, you could not shoot within 450 feet of a residence without permission of the owner; here in this particular county of Utah where I live, it is 400 feet of another residence. So no telling if Ohio has such a law; so you might want to check first if you have a nearby neighbor.

Ar will work perfectly, that is what I have set up for coyotes, bait wise.. any carcass or left over scraps will work, I've heard of dog food with bacon grease. Can check with a butcher for scraps too, that would work if it's legal to bait them in your state. My 18 y/o nephew takes alot of them over top of his deer carcass he will throw on a rock pile out in a pasture.

Safety first, from my experience about all you will see is 2, at the max 3 running together, I don't see any packs from where I am from, alot that I have seen are solo running the rolling hills.

So many of them out here in Southern UT that they raised the bounty from 25 to 50. Occasionally see them in packs, but like your area, one or two, but you can bet there are a few more around in the pack.

If you hit it between the eyes you win!

 

 

Uncle shot a Tom Cat in the head with a 22lr.. still seen it running around a week later. just a thought, I'd take a broiler room shot before a head shot.
