I thought this was gonna be about Glendale...
Sounds like they have found a rather effective way of getting them out of the neighborhood!!

you pay the $200.00 tax stamp when you buy a silencer.
It lets the neighbors stay sleeping
Ya but the other $200 tax stamp is a lot more fun I've heard.

I hear you can make one pretty easy out of a half gallon pop bottle. You could just not pay the $200 for a silencer tax stamp and just use one. Doing anything to silence the report of a fire arm is illegal with out the stamp. Cheaper and legal as far as not doing anything to silence the report would be to get some sub sonic ammunition. It's illegal to discharge a fire arm within most city limits.

When I saw this thread this what I first thought about. Unless Phoenix is willing to take them and the Coyotes agree I think Glendale is stuck with them. Phoenix is already in financial trouble they certainly don't need to be taking on a charity of professional athletes. Will be interesting to see how this all works out.

I live right on the Tonto Nat'l Forest line in the Rio Verde Foothills. We had a couple of retired Canadian brothers that bought a home down the street after the '08 crash and they thought it was cool to feed the 'yotes dog food.
Twice a day.
The neighbors, me included, had to head over to their house one day with pitchforks, rakes, clubs and those flaming torch thingys (that are real tough to make) and have a have a heart to heart discussion with them.
Feeding stopped.

Few years back my neighbor told me guy in another subdivision would feed Javalina everyday. They would come up out of a canyon every morning. According to my neighbor the guy was spending more on food then he was feeding the three horse he had at the time. Guess a up side would be they probably taste better than other javelinas.

If there is a harder way - I will find it...
I used to live in the LA area. There have been several documented cases of coyotes attacking children, even attempting to carry them off as parents screamed and chased them. They were NOT rabbid.
This is typical in an environment where the animals are not hunted. They do not fear humans and since they are a predator, one of nature's best, they will look at any animal, including a human, as a source of food.
You have to admire these animals for what they are, they really are an awesome animal. That said they are horribly efficient at what they do, they have to be, they are survivalists. They can be gruesome, as any predator can be. I have know several people who have seen the animals take down a deer or its fawn and begin eating before the animal is dead or even as it is being born.
I have known some of the game and fish employees and have spent time with the former biologist who rand the department years ago. He called them the cockroach of the dog world. You could never exterminate them. They have litter sizes that adjust to the conditions, large litters when food is plentiful and small when not. He estimated that you could kill 75% of the population yearly and they could easily replace their losses through birthing. He marveled at their intelligence and adaptability. We are the only predator that surpases a coyote for their ability.
I have contemplated using a bow in the urban areas for some time now. We can and should hunt these animals for many reasons, especially in the urban environment. The animals should learn to be afraid of man, failing that, it is only a matter of time before we see a child injured or even killed here.

Crossbows could be very effective for this................
We lived about 10 miles south of Wickenburg in the late 70s. LOTS of Coyotes and rattlesnakes. We lived in a loose definition of a "neighborhood" (lot sizes were a minimum 5 acres) and it was the residents' intention to rid the area of every rattlesnake and coyote in the area. With the exception of one "enlightened" resident that's exactly what we tried to do. We lost 2 cats to coyotes, and even lost a truck tire (!) to a rattlesnake when we ran over it and it struck the tire. That was one damn tough rattlesnake. Our neighbor had a dog attacked by a javelina, too.
The problem is not just the lack of hunting. Predictors further up the food chain have been hunted down to minimal levels, leaving coyotes at the top in many areas. That and their extreme adaptability has created a population explosion.
I'm not big on hunting myself, but I agree, culling coyote populations is necessary.
