Ok this is going to sound insane but I am a 14 year old from ohio. And last night I couldn't fall asleep until around 2:30 a.m. Because I kept hearing coyotes in my woods. It's not that I'm scared for myself, I can kick some serious butt if I need to but I also have a little sister and brother plus a small dog, I don't think I could live without my dog he means the world to me! I Just don't want anyone I love to get hurt or killed. I Own a bow, and I was just wondering, if it comes down to it am I allowed to kill it? I Really do love all animals including coyotes however my famil safety always comes first, and if worst comes to worst I just
want to know that I am following the law and protecting my family from harm.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

get a gun and go coyote hunting
