I think Crash and I are going I the lease this evening to see what kin of damage we can do for a few day

[Sleeper]

Put something on the ground turbo. Go buy a 99.00 grinder and i can help with the rest.

we got two coyotes this morning in the traps.

What kind of traps are you using on the yotes?

[Sleeper]

Foot sets. The hole in the ground with a little gland lure and deer scrap trimmings seems to be working.

[BlackSnake]

Yeah, I need to work on them pretty badly. They are starting to really grow in numbers. I have read that the more you kill, the faster they will breed to keep their packs in numbers. So the key is to aim for the femals all you can. They can have up to 2 litters a year.

[Sleeper]

As far as i know they freeb from jan-march. Litters are born late april may.

Never heard of them breeding more than once a year.

Coyotes are really not pack animals. Maybe down south, but they are rarely seen in groups more than 3. Most of the time its a male and female pair. As they will pair up for life if they can.

Id be calling them if i lived down there. Its much easier than up here.

They have plenty to eat here.

And then rabbits will devour everything. It's surprising what a simple change like that will make, but I'd still kill them.

They are definitely in packs down here, and you can use calls (electronics) for so long till they wise up to them. Which doesn't take very long. Usually you will have a scout that alerts the rest of the pack to food, predators, etc. I have a pretty large pack that just happens to reside in a area a few hundred yards from one of my feeders.

Calling coyotes is a lot of fun just haven't had time to do it in good bit.

Is there a bounty on them here in TX? When I grew up in Oregon we got $75 per coyote skin that we brought in.

I think you can get up to 50 per. So I hear.

[2165 Turbo Rail]

I wish I would have known that last year when I shot that coyote. I can always use another 50

[Sleeper]

If you get 50 bucks your doing better than 99% of the rest of the united states. We get about 20 bucks for a good fluffy coyote.

Im really not sure, but a 20 aint enough for me to mess with.
