I would be very leery about shooting a high powered rifle anywhere where there are houses and people around--something that starts with an annoyance like a daring predator might end with a disaster that could literally cost you the farm! Rifle bullets can fly for miles.
If trapping is not banned where you are, I would sure try that. It may or may not work. Coyotes are very cunning and I would doubt you would get a second chance.
I like your idea of using a cab tractor as a blind. Might it be possible to use a shotgun with 00 buckshot? Or do you think you would never get close enough to the coyote for a shotgun to be effective?
We have coyotes around here in Eastern Washington. I often hear them at night, but very seldom see one. I used to shoot at them, but with the development in my area, I am too worried about hitting something I didn"t want to--there are just too many people and houses now for it to be safe to shoot rifles. Coyotes are hard to hit. I have killed a couple of them and knocked down several more, but was not sure I killed them because I could not find the carcasses. But these days, it is just too risky to shoot much of anything but a shotgun.
Good luck dealing with the problem, but don"t get yourself in LEGAL trouble!
