I just saw a coyote or maybe 2 of them eating a small dead rat I left outside. The coyote appear multiple time during the early raining morning.
5:06:00 walks by camera but doesn't eat the rat.
5:07:42 comes back and eats the rat.
6:04:40 comes back again.
6:05:40 triggers the camera again but the camera is slow so it almost out of view.
Is it only 1 coyote or 2? Should I eliminate it? It is a little big to easily put into the trash can. A disposal problem? Any guess on size, I'm guessing 30lbs+. I have a lot of rats in the yard is it better to have this coyote around to keep the rats somewhat in check? Do they hunt live rats? I don't have any pets or little kids to worry about.
If termination is in order I have a 0.25 34g JSB 890 fps at the muzzle and the shot would be at 25 yards. From reading about max's stories they are much easier to spook than raccoons. I have to open a door to get off the shot, it may hear that and run off.
