Florida Coyote Trappers and Coyote Facts.
FWC - Land Mammals - Coyote
It looks like private citizens would have to hire a wildlife trapper if attacks on pets occur on private lands. Quote:

The private lands in question belongs to the Developers. They own the golf courses, woods, marshes, and meadows.
You might use the argument that a trapper could trap on your lot but I doubt if a trapper would just do one home lot. Best idea is to be careful about taking your dog for walks. Use a 6 foot leash and stay away from marshes, golf courses, woods, or meadows. Never let a cat outside. The talk about taking a pistol for coyote protection is also pretty silly. Most of the pistol owners have never shot in an active stressful situation. A coyote running to attack your dog with your dog running also close to you is NOT going to be an easy shot. Your dog or a house is just as likely to be shot as the coyote. The number of times a coyote has snatched a dog being walked on a leash in The Villages is what? Zero? |

so eradicating an invasive species is hard so we just give up? They may be native to North america but not to florida. Kill them on sight.

Don't shoot.
Quote:
I would wish that I could recommend shooting coyotes, but there is virtually no place in The Villages where a firearm can be discharged legally. Florida Statute § 790.15(1), provides that any person who knowingly discharges a firearm in any public place or on or over the right-of-way of any paved public road, highway, or street or over any occupied premises is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree.

Shoot only to save life and limb.
If you have to shoot someone because you are "in fear for your life," that is no time to reflect on whether or not you might be charged with a misdemeanor.
It is a very bad idea to discharge a firearm "in defense of property," and you might find yourself charged with a felony if you do so. You would be ill advised to shoot someone who was stealing or destroying your property. Call the police.
