[FEL-L] Coyote proof fencing??

[Prometheus Horse]

For keeping coyotes, wolves, and even some dogs IN, you'd need to have buried wire below grade to keep canines that enjoy playing Bob the Builder and excavating in the yard. For outside trying to get in, you typically wouldn't need dig fence, though burying a bit of it sub-grade would be a good idea to keep them from just squeezing under or things of that nature. 8' chainlink or such with a top slanted out (those brace-caps for the posts) _should_ work. That's just a guess, though. Wolves you'd want 10' or higher cuz an adult wolf can leap that flatfooted, but the smaller bodymass of a coyote wouldn't carry that far, to my mind, so 8' with a slant-top should work. One other, much cheaper consideration may be preconstructed (or home-constructed) chainlink panels with a top to contain your geese... that's a maybe thing, and entirely up to you. I've heard of something called the "coyote roller" that I think has to do with fencing and such, but I've never really looked into it
 due to various reasons. It might be something advantageous to you and your neighbors, but can't say one way or the other cuz I'm completely unfamiliar with the item itself. I just googled it and the site is www.coyoteroller.com for what it's worth. The flash screen at the opening of the site crashed my browser so *shrugs* My computer is from 1999 so it's a wimp. Hope something mentioned here works for you.

      Looking to keep them out. Our neighobrs dog was killed and partially consumed before they found him, my geese are disappaering one by one and last week the coyote went into the barn to grab one and ran off with it, another neighbor lost all her goats last kidding season....
  We have 5ft no climb horse fence around 8 acres. They are jumping over. So was wondering how high it needs to be to keep out or should we consider a slanted top? And what keeps them from digging under? bury wire?

  yes, there is.... but what you're looking for depends on whether you're trying to keep the animals IN or trying to keep them OUT.  IN tends to be easier.
