Coyote questions

[Ack]

First off, is this a coyote?

It's been coming into my yard in broad daylight several times over the last few days. I've only seen one at a time, so I assume it's always the same one. If it is a coyote, are they dangerous to small kids? Once it gets warmer my 3 year old will be playing on his playground right by where this picture was taken, and the grass in the field will be much taller and easier for it to hide in.

Can I shoot a coyote on my land legally without a hunting license?

kill it. why risk it? ples they're just annoying at night , even if you dont have cattle

Not likely to hurt a kid although it could be possible. Yes to everything else. It would have already been dead at my house cause I don't want it messing with my dog. The picture would have been with me holding its head up and grinning.

Yes, it is dangerous to a three year old kid.

and here is the answer on whether you need a license. Scroll down. I am giving you the link to the official OK web site so you can read the conditions to see if you qualify to hunt without a license.

I'm close. I would be glad to come exterminate for you. I should also be able to identify whether your new friend has company. Let me know if I can help.
