you could slid them away from the fence but It's a lot of screwing around. If You can use lethal methods then the kill pole would be the way to go. Just place the kill pole out away from the fence. The coyote will wrap around It on his first go round. And never get back to the fence.

I have ruined a lot of fences, no more. This is the one time I always use a shorter snare and a kill pole. Dont ruin the fence or the location

Could you hook up a drowner type slide to a solid Buried stake away from the fence?

I have a love/hate for snaring fences. Works great catches everything. Everything!!! Young/small deer an kill snares are bad!! I've also seen coons and jackrabbit that ripped themselves apart on fences. I've also had wrecked fences. I actually Haven't had bad experiences with fox and coyote but I have almost entirely went away from under fence snarling. But I will put a snares 5' away or so on the same trail. Put the stake as far away as possible and add a tangle/kill pole to keep them away and save trail. And I use kill snares. Usually fence snares have the snare lower than recommended for coyote and fox so they causes a lot of incidental catches. Including domestic animals and pets . They also lead to more body catches.

While you are not explaining if the fence is barbed wire, woven or electric, where the crossing is next to a post or the exact situation, you have the option of a kill pole as stated, which can also be camo'd as part of your "guide stick" after the yote goes under the fence. Understand the canine as they are lazy like you. If you make the effort to cross a fence, you are not going to walk around a light obstacle like an open snare pen. I am not talking about a forest, but use your environment. If you have snow, then you have a path that influences a yote, as much as their use of a dirt trail. Subtle will guide them into the snare. But use a kill pole as you can hang them up dead in minutes and save the site.
Just remember that you can run an extra long snare wire, anchor away from the fence, and the kill pole out by that anchor will hang up a yote like a hook seine. Yes it takes more snare wire.
As for deer, use breakaways or a stop so the loop will not close on a leg. Deer should go over snares with barrier placement.

I"m not talking about leg caught deer, deer typically go under a fence head first. I've set snares that I literally thought no deer would think to crawl under (very low bottom wire or very low top wire) yet there is still that one that decides to go under. Sorry, I kind of got sidetracked on my own problems haha. If there are no deer in the area and the fence is sturdy enough to not sustain damage easily I would just set the snare on the fence. I have had some pelt damage in the past but not much and most of the time the coyote has expired before it could do too much. Otherwise I would just set further out if the trail extends out.

.I've got some great looking coyotes coming into a bait but the fence is the only place to maybe hang a snare . I’d move the bait.

I am fortunate here. They widened a 2 lane road to a 4 way and thestate put up a really good woven wire fence. And I have a green light to trap for miles and miles of it. But I dont have the time. If I did I would own a 4 wheeler to haul kill poles and use short snares. Long extensions are nice if the coyote will get away from the scene. But the last thing i want is passer byes looking. Shorter snare and a kill pole and he will likely be dead in less than a minute. Long snare and he might be dead but he is going to tear up a bunch of undergrowth that helped block the snare in. As Clint Locklear told me about fence snaring yotes, "You never know with a coyote. They don't play by the rules ."

Even more important than catching deer are peoples dogs. In the country they just let them out to roam wherever. While I dont believ in that as I have 2 of my own and they stay right by me some dont mind. Its has cost me alot ot coyotes for sure but I always check my snares daily. And if I am in the area I knock on a few doors and let them know traps will be out. While it may be controversial in the end they are glad I let them know. Better safe than sorry. If I find any sign it might be a dog not just a coyote I set a trail cam. 3 days will tell me what I am facing.
