There are certain baits & ways of deploying them that work everytime. But some are squeamish of live bait. And of course the legality is blurry.

We have 3 goats in north eastern Chatham county (east side of Jordan Lake). I know there are coyotes around - we have heard them, but never seen them. Our neighbors thru the woods behind us say they see them a lot.
We got our goats as babies (had to bottle feed them), and when they were that small, we locked them in their house at night. They now weigh 150-200 pounds and we don't lock them in. We have a Great Pyrenees (livestock guardian dog) who stays out all night, so that helps. We also have chickens.
If they are worried, I'd recommend locking them up at night, at least in some kind of makeshift house (doesn't have to be fancy).
Coyotes are seen all the time in suburban areas with tons of human smells. There was a yote killed about 3 miles from my house in a neighborhood off of Falls of Neuse road. They are intelligent and adaptable.
You are probably going to have to trap or shoot this one if you want it gone.
Edit: a couple years ago, I nearly hit one with my truck when it ran out in front of me near Hanes Mall in Winston-Salem.
When can I expect you over?Collarum? because snares are illegal for anything but beaver.
Oops, to late.
They aren’t afraid of your smell when the smell of all those tasty animals are loading their nostrils.
You should shoot the ones you see and trap the ones you don’t.
Coyotes are land piranhas. They eat what they catch and it matters little to them what it is.
You will never “eradicate” all the yotes, maybe slow their predation during the fawning months but thats all we can hope for.

Makes me a sad panda.Your distance from me is prohibitive.
But I am a machine of elimination.
