Coyotes arent this easy to kill.
A foot or so, and they are round. Badger dens are easy to differentiate because they are flat. This hole was riddled with yote track, and is in my quasi sanctuary. That's why sanssctuaries are never sanctuaries because there are always non human predators using them.
J have you looked into cable restrant trapping at all. They are similar to a snare, but don't kill the animal. They work like a dogs choke collar, they relax when the animal stops tugging. I run these on my trap line, and have caught some quite a few yotes. They also have deer stops on them and a break away hook that deer would be able to get out. Anyone that tries this method should do a lot of research first.Laws are different in many states. Also sets need to be done at the right height and location so you only catch coyotes. They should not be set on deer trails either.
We had coyotes take down bucks out on clear lake ice in northern Mn. about 40 years ago. Once they slip on the ice, they are lunch.
We've had success where we can spread shooters out for a ways downwind of the caller....like 4-5 shooters spread out 5-600 yds down wind. In wooded and hilly terrain the yotes will use the terrain as cover to get down wind then they will start their approach through the woods if they don't immediately pick off the caller. By having the line of shooters out downwind or even slightly quartering into the wind we have put some dogs right into their laps. It takes the right set up for it to work. And it's important to get the shooters in place for a while ahead of the caller. It's also important to make sure the shooters stay put for a long time...the dogs sometimes take a while make their down wind swing.
Haha, we are miles from you, that Marion crew dumps a lot of yotes too. We take crap from one of the farmers that we better produce or he'll let those Marion guys in. We have people begging us to hunt their land. They are places we cant go, so we don't.
