NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Neighbors in North Fulton County say their pets are disappearing. They said coyotes are killing them and another animals.

Channel 2's Craig Lucie went along Friday as a local trapper set traps to catch the predators. He said he's caught coyotes near a subdivision on King Road in Roswell.

"Now they've gotten to where they're not scared of people. They'll make their dens next to houses, next to dog fences and stuff, they've just gotten real bold lately," said trapper Tim Smith.

The trapper is also using coyote urine he leaves around the traps to catch the animals.
