How to attract a coyote to a clean shooting area in front yard?

Recorded rabbit distress calls. The "squealing"
attracts them like ants at a picnic.

Unless they are rabid you have no worry , Unless you have a newborn child in the yard.

Disagree with previous poster. Educate them with whatever you have to hand so they have the proper fear of humans. An elderly man was walking with a toddler in a park in bloomfield Colorado and stopped to talk with another man. The toddler wandered a ways off and the men noticed a coyote moving in on the kid in stalk mode. Of course they chased it off but did report it to animal control. Normally animal control has no control policy on coyotes up there but with two adult witnesses to the incident, animal control came in and took out the whole pack. My brother told me about that a while back. I live in the middle of town and we had coyotes recently hanging around our neighborhood until I started shooting them. They are educated now and don't sit in people's front yard licking themselves after eating the neighbors cat. Believe what you want but I'd be shooting if it'd be me. Normally they are not an problem for humans, but I would not give them the opportunity to make my kid an exception to that accepted consensus. You want them to run when they see you, not hanging around studying the menu options without concern for their own safety.

I don't know how good this list is but if even half of these incidents happened then my Grandma was right when she told me that a Coyote will take a child if it can get one and a pack will take a man in the snow if they are hungry enough.

Typically they won't mess with a human larger than a small child unless they're really, really hungry. They are problematic if you have small animals or breed cattle though. 

There are multiple ways to attract them other than a gut pile. Calls are probably the easiest and can be paired with a decoy. They're also prone to being attracted to things such as a female dog in heat. You could probably try to condition them with dog food or something as well, but you might wind up with more pests in your yard than is pleasant. 

And at 40 yards I would have probably shot that coyote with a heavy .22 pellet if I'd had the chance. But around here, we really do not like coyotes. 

Use chiken alive in a cage and use a call to have their attention.
Once they smell the chiken they will come right there.
This is my personal strategy for coyote hunting.
Ant it realy work 100% 
Good luck

Save your bacon fat .pic out your shooting lane place something they can eat (road kill) pour some bacon fat on it and wait.

Sardines, crack the can pour the oil around and screw the can to stump or they will grab it and bolt. 

Porc blod is magic.

coyotes are very crafty, if you want to draw them to a specific area (ie bait pile) it needs to be close to cover so they feel safe. also dont shoot one if there is a bunch of them, it will just educate the rest that arent shot. wait until just one or two come, not several. 

To attract them to a specific area for a close clean shot use a bait pile with a rabbit distress call, You can also use some coyote urine as bait. Most of this you can buy at your local farm supply store or amazon.

I really don't know about coyotes but if you feel your kids are in danger Id shoot the poop out of them, if you have larger power burners, a shotgun, .223 even a .22, a deer rifle, let them have it.. but like one guy said if you attract them to your yard then they will be attracted to your yard where your kids play and you might end up with a bigger problem... try baiting them away from your house if you have fields or something
