Coyote and snow

We've had 3 snow storms in the last 2 weeks that have shut down many roads.  Lots of wrecks and terrible wind.  They closed school today because of some freak snow we had over night.  Because we've had terrible terrible wind for the last 3 days, today all the snow blew away. 
Sunday, Larry spotted a coyote crossing our field.  It had a hurt front leg and was limping.  Since then we have seen the coyote 3 times.  One evening I heard a ruckus outside... Remington, our border collie, was escaping out of our backyard fence.  He ran out in our field after the coyote.  The coyote took off but I was so afraid Remington and the animal were going to get into a fight.  I haven't seen the coyote since but I think he's bedding down over our hill by some trailers we have parked out there.
Larry called the Division of Wildlife but they said they couldn't do anything.  They told Larry to call someone to trap it or shoot it.  Well, we don't want to shoot it!  So, I'll called my friend Sam who is an animal freak and knows alot about rescues and such.  She told me to call the wolf rescue, human society, and some other animal rescues to see if they have any suggestions.  I told her I hadn't seen him today so maybe I should wait.  She told me to put on a thick coat and boots, grab a bat and go see if he's out there in the wind and snow!!!!  Are you crazy?  Am I crazy cause I'm thinking about doing it?
