Coyotes are shy animals and would flee from it. They flee from lights being turned on usually. Shoot near them or make the sound to scare htem off. Dont hurt it. Seriously. Killing animals that are doing no harm to you is absolutly retarded. Disturbing your sleep a bit and making your dogs irritated, but no harm. We're the ones who are taking up THEIR land. That they had first before we were there. Have atleast enough respect for the animals not to kill them or harm them to where they'd die in the wild. Theres many humane ways to keep them away from your property.
People who say to shoot the animal shave little to no respect for them and should be shot themselves. See how it feels to be driven out of the lands that they once lived because a "better" species of animal is taking over it, killing their prey, their territory, and polluting their waters.
Coyotes dont attack humans usually unless they're hungry enough, sick, or threatened enough. Same as wolves.
