Two dogs taken by coyotes does not make a problem. Remember that both dogs were off leash. One was let outside at 4 a.m.
The problem is NOT coyotes but rather irresponsible dog owners.
Leg traps would not be used in a populated area like The Villages as some of these family pets would end up in the trap with a broken leg. Oh, the irresponsible owners would howl louder than the trapped pets.
Personally, if I ever would see any type of trap for a coyote, I would spring it with a large stick.
