Table 1. Description of trial details, including decision-making around the inclusion of pens, the collection of baseline data, and the collection of treatment data for the experimental trials.

Step	Duration	Description of step	# of pens completed
Arena acclimation	7 Days	On day 1, place marker stakes and wildlife cameras in the pen to define the arena and allow coyotes to get used to these additions. Behavioral criteria to pass to next stage: none.	16
Bait acclimation	2–3 Nights	At night, drive to within 5 m of pen gate, enter pen, place six baits in arena (three in the protected zone and three in the nonprotected zone), exit pen, immediately drive away. Behavioral criteria to pass to next stage: none.	16
Light/observer acclimation	2 Nights	At night, drive to within 5 m of pen gate, enter pen, attach arena light to fence and turn it on, place six baits in arena, exit pen, sit in car and observe for 10–15 min. Behavioral criteria to pass to next stage: at least one coyote in pen would come up and take at least one bait while observer was present.	13
Baseline trial [Record data]	1 Night	Same as above. Start timer as soon as last bait is placed and record the order and time until each bait is taken. Trial stops as soon as last bait is taken or 60 min has passed.	13
Light only trial [Record data]	1 Night	Same as above except place the vehicle/deterrent in base position before placing baits and turn on Foxlight when last bait is placed.	13
Predetermined movement trial [Record data]	1 Night	Same as above except drive vehicle/deterrent on fixed route (see “experimental treatments” for more detail) as soon as last bait is placed and Foxlight is turned on. Only half of filtered pens randomly selected for this trial.	7
Adaptive movement trial [Record data]	1 Night	Same as above except drive vehicle/deterrent by adaptively reacting to coyotes (see “experimental treatments” for more detail). Only half of filtered pens randomly selected for this trial.	6
