The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

Yes, snares 12-14 inches off the ground with loop 12-14 inches. Check your regulations on size loop and hight. Snare are a great tool to catch coyotes but can get a guy into trouble real fast if you don't know your regulations.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

10 inch loop 10 inches off the ground works well too

I just set the traps. If they get caught I release them.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

It is almost impossible to set canine footholds and not catch domestic cats. Anyone that has trapped a spell can tell you that. It might be possible to wait until extremely cold weather with a bit of snow. The barn cats may not venture too far during real cold weather, but that is not a guarantee.
Lighter pan tension? To catch more cats? Coyote urine? you think that cats will shy from that smell?
Make cats everyday? Good fuel for those against trapping.
Good Lord gentlemen.
The snaring hints make the most sense. Good luck.

This borders on anthropomorphism. Gotta agree. If your wildlife is disappearing, its probably your cats and not coyotes. If you have coyotes, your cats would soon disapear. Cats running wild is worse than coyotes, imo.
