I did call DEP because you have to report any coyote kills or if they attack . and I picked their brain they said this to me No baiting for them 1 and you can shoot them basically all year long as many as you want , and I got out of it that their is hunting for them and their is getting rid of pests which are causing damage I personally wouldn't of bothered them if they did not attack my dog., so this is purely for safety
I can say there was probably 15 or so every nite , I have seen them from 6pm to 4am and they attacked Titus at 630 pm , They have not returned since Titus has taken one out , I believe they were watching him while last nite he ate his dinner on the deck , a coyote steak , They have retreated for now ,
I just signed up for the Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator course , Here you have to take a course and take an exam to get this license to get rid of nuisance animals , they have 2 classes a residential an commercial and then take an exam and then send a check to state and then you can take out animals which are a threat or doing property or damage to crops or livestock , SO with a licensee you can go beyond a hunting law to get rid of Them , LOU
