We were tryibg to get one off the airport.  Our fences are plenty tight, so it could not find its way out.  We ran it up and down the far fence line until the FAA tower said "enough".  That dog must have run at near top speed for 15 minutes.
We drove close and a load of # 2's ended it.  I trapped them and called them, and they are a worthy adversary.  Thumper has it down as he is the master of dogs elimination...

i think them 7595 shafts would be far too heavily spined. unless you put about 350gr up front.

from what i read, your not in a hunting situation. extermination is what your after. i've used .22mag to disperse many yotes. countless during calving season on the ranch in alberta. slugs in a shotgun work good too.

taking yotes with a bow is fun. tests you and all, but, if they in your yard attacking your animals, harrasing people. then there are no rules for engagement.

once you get the numbers down a bit. then i would do population control using a call and blind. i've had great success with a foxpro with trad archery.  http://www.gofoxpro.com/site/  one fruitful day i managed 3 yotes in 2 hours at the same set using the ELB i received in last years TG trade.

You guys talk about spine like it matters-it was the first thing that I was taught to ignore.  My teacher had a five gallon bucket of random arrows and we had to practice until we could shoot anything we found.  Asian archery doesn't really consider spine at all, if it's the right length it'll fly.  The technique was developed to shoot an enemy's arrows back at them.  But with a thumb ring and the arrow pass on the other side I can shoot anything.

As to the idea of guns, nothing is ruled out.  I haven't ruled out traps either.  That dog ended up getting finished off, and I have had enough dog funerals this month.  I'm going tomorrow to pay the game warden a visit and see just how far I can take this legally.  If legal, I have a LOT of vials of heparin that I can dose meat with, all acquired legally (as my wife is on permanent blood thinners for a clotting factor issue.). I could see no regulation against it on arrows so long as it wasn't deer, but I'm not gonna touch the stock unless I get the OK from them.  I could not get a solid law against (or that even mentioned it) and I want to find out if it's OK.  Just a nick would bleed wildly, making those arrows a lot more effective.

You won't hear me supporting baiting deer, or using anectine on them, or any such, because I don't go for that.  Deer aren't routinely dangerous, but coyote are, and they have no fear of humans.  Think I'd like to try my new bow on them.  But if it comes down to it I'll set out jaw traps full of heparin and let them bleed out.  As you gentlemen know, it's war on coyotes.

As far as broadheads go, any you can shoot accuratly will do. If they don't die then, they will later. Don't let your dog after them no matter how big he is. They will tag team him and kill him. I've killed many with a .22Mag. We have a lot here in Nevada and they are a problem.  don't think too many people harbor favorable opinions of them. You can put out some traps but neighbors dogs might get caught.
