Stam, I have run coyotes off for good number of years now by shotgunning over their heads or behind them if they are running. The advantages of not killing them is that they live mainly on rodents....other things as well, but mostly voles and such. They are teachable and if you let them know they are not welcome, they will teach their offspring to "stay away".
