I would be very leery about shooting a high powered rifle anywhere where there are houses and people around--something that starts with an annoyance like a daring predator might end with a disaster that could literally cost you the farm! Rifle bullets can fly for miles.
If trapping is not banned where you are, I would sure try that. It may or may not work. Coyotes are very cunning and I would doubt you would get a second chance.
I like your idea of using a cab tractor as a blind. Might it be possible to use a shotgun with 00 buckshot? Or do you think you would never get close enough to the coyote for a shotgun to be effective?
We have coyotes around here in Eastern Washington. I often hear them at night, but very seldom see one. I used to shoot at them, but with the development in my area, I am too worried about hitting something I didn"t want to--there are just too many people and houses now for it to be safe to shoot rifles. Coyotes are hard to hit. I have killed a couple of them and knocked down several more, but was not sure I killed them because I could not find the carcasses. But these days, it is just too risky to shoot much of anything but a shotgun.
Good luck dealing with the problem, but don"t get yourself in LEGAL trouble!

It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
