We have a lot of yotes running around the property, but they have only been nocturnal visitors up to now, and we haven't bothered with them since they haven't bothered the chickens and Miss T didn't have a calf on the ground. When the cow drops in November, we would have the stall enclosed for night protection.
Last week Miss T noticed four of her best laying hens missing. I moved one of the game cams up. The coop is secure at night, so?? Imagine our surprise to see a bold female coyote take a huge female hen at two in the afternoon as they were free ranging around the coop!

Boom, dashed through the crowd, missed her on the first pass.
Looped back and took her on the second. Other chickens looked stunned, then said, "Well, Bye." Went back to scratching.
My question... I looked for coyote calls on amazon, are the entry level coyote calls like this one worth bothering with:

Or do you spend a bit more and get a lot more included calls, and the wavy tail lure. We know we have a half dozen coyotes regularly trotting thru. For now, Miss T has stopped free ranging the chickens. Due to my fractured left wrist, I won't be shooting, but Miss T and her CZ will handle the duties. Ask the Virginia Squirrels who tried to invade the coops for chicken feed.
