Ken wrote the "farm is bounded by residential housing on 3 sides". Which could mean a couple of acres or many sections. My concern is that with people LIVING on 3 sides of the farm, they might very well not be exactly where they are supposed to be and might be in danger. If you shoot someone, even by accident, it is going to cost you a bunch of money.
I live on property that I grew up on. When I was a kid 50 years ago, I used to open my bedroom window and shoot at magpies from inside the house with my .22. But then there was one family on our quarter section. Now there are 10 families living on the same ground. I have 20 acres, one of the larger parcels. Since the land got so populated, I have quit shooting high powered rifles on the property at all--I think it would be really imprudent to shoot one and maybe have troubles with a neighbor. I only shoot my pistols in a shooting range I built with an absolute backstop. Occasionally I will shoot a .22 rifle, but only when I am shooting downward into unrocky soil. So if I am going to shoot at a varmint, that pretty much only leaves me the shotguns. I KNOW that the pellets will not carry far enough to be a threat to anything on someone else"s land.
I wish everyone DID have sense enough to shoot a rifle safely. But they don"t...and that is why my ground is posted NO TRESPASSING. I have allowed a few archery hunters on my property, since I would like to lower the deer (almost all does) population. I think they have got 4 or 5 over the last few years on my 20 acres.
Everybody"s situation is different. I hope Ken can figure out a way to deal with the coyote problems, but I also hope he will be able to do it in a way that doesn"t cause him a lot of OTHER PROBLEMS that are much more costly.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
