Baiting coyotes | CT DEP Law Enforcement

Took this picture sat night with a stealthcam that my dad got me for xmas. Was one of 93 pics the cam took that night. Coyotes had a field day in my backyard/woods. Of the 93 pics only one had 2 coyotes in it. Last night wife woke me up at 1:47 and all I could here in the back yard was yip yip yooooooo. Went out on the back deck and spotlight a HUGE coyote...bigger then my 80 lb dog. It ran back and forth in the back yard trying to get out of the spotlight...at one point it came within 15 feet of me (was on raised deck so not worried) and when it turned its feet sounded like horses galloping.

My wife has expressed a little worry about them as we have dogs that we let out...and always let them out just before bed. Plus the noise...if this turns into a every night occurrance...it will drive me nuts. My biggest problem is I don't believe I would be able to shoot them. I have a firearms license and small game is not a problem but although we are just off of leffingwell road in uncasville I do have a couple of houses that are within the 500 ft range as well as my house. Thinking more along the lines of a trap of some sort. Thoughts and ideas? And maybe guidance from Encon?
