I know if I was walking around The Villages and saw a coyote trap, I would throw something in it to spring the trap before a coyote got trapped. Leave the wildlife alone! Walk your dogs on a short leash, carry a loud air horn or can of wasp spray to use if you see something going to attack you. Carrying a pistol is ridiculous. I also know if I would see someone shoot at something, I would be calling 911 right away.

I doubt if a trapper would put it where you could see it as she would not want some person walking near it.
I too find carrying a gun to shoot a coyote kind of strange but these people seem willing to live with whatever consequences come their way and with the gun culture in Florida and elsewhere they could be celebrated for such an act rather than jailed.
Balancing a dog's life against that of a coyote though I am going to go with that of the dog every time.
