Ken, the snare is far easier to use than a foothold trap. You need to find the runs he's using and set it there if you want to use a snare. Footholds are far more difficult between bedding, placement, line of travel, staking, etc. It's nowhere near as simple as setting a trap on the ground and throwing some hay on it. And you'd need a real trap for an Eastern Coyote. The ones I use run about $25.00 each and they are nothing for an amateur to mess with.
As a sheepman with a heavy coyote population I can assure you that an electric fence is about as much a deterrent as a barb wire fence- not much. I lost approx. 50 lambs and ewes last year with electric fence and a guard llama. This year I have electro-netting and 2 Great Pyrenees. I've lost exactly 1 lamb to coyotes and that lamb was well outside the electronet. Nothing bothers my sheep now, but we we're incredibly lucky to get the 2 dogs we did. The electronet keeps the dogs in with the sheep and the dogs keep the coyotes out. I have a few lambs that sneak under gaps in the netting, like the dead one did, but otherwise all is well.
