You should have absolutely no problem. People love shooting yote's. Its a form of pest control.

If you aren't up to shooting them yourself see your game department about traps. Can't really advise you because we don't know where you live and what shooting conditions are. For a non shooter a nice sized dog who is protective of you and yours will discourage coyotes and other pests.

Go to your local feed store and casually mention you are having trouble with coyotes. If not right away, the varmint hunters will show up soon. Many years ago in CA, that's how I got access to a 1,600 acre ranch for hunting, the owner's wife raised peacocks and coyotes got some of the poults. After I took out two coyotes and a bobcat, I was invited to come hunt there any time.

Welcome to the forum cattleman! Like others have said, if you don't want to kill them yourself there are pleanty of people who do it as a hobby! There are all kinds of things you can do to get rid of them. If that is what you would like to do I would suggest registering at a predator hunting forum & trying to learn a thing or two! They don't call coyotes wiley for nothing!! If you would rather have someone else do the deed, you can probably find someone who would try for free! Just meet with them & see what you think of them & thier game plan. Make sure they are respectful & safe! It could turn into a great friendship that may benefit you both down the road. Here are a couple of predator forums I browse regulary that may be able to help. www.buckingtheodds.com & www.texaspredatorposse.com Good luck! I hope you get those chicken thieves!
