I haven't had much luck with catching a coyote but most everything else. Years ago before I had electric wire around my coops and pens and covered my pens, a coyote jumped over a 5' fence into a pen and back out along with some of the birds. It did kill some of the birds. I did shoot at the coyote but had the wrong ammo in my gun. I pretty sure I hit it, it did take off. We had a severe coyote problem but a neighbor let some hunters go on his property to hunt them and they must have gotten a few because I haven't seen nearly as many for awhile. I put out a live trap for coyotes and they would go around it but not in it. I attached the body of a bird in the trap and the coyote got a hold of one of it's leg and tried to pull it out but couldn't but still didn't go in. It even tried to dig under the trap to get to the bird.
