We have coyote problems here, too. the neighbor has a 6 foor fence,
with thee hot wires on it (2 near the ground and one up high) He
also has some special flashing red lights that are supposed to scare off
small predators.

Before all the fencing was built, the neighbor lost all her peafowl to
coyotes (and I want to get some peafowl myself). We found a cat one day
that had been bitten through the head by a coyote. it was amazing that
it had survived, and was doing remarkably well. I suspect it either
eventually died or the neighbor had it euthanized.
