Trying to Catch a Coyote | Live Free or Die

·Nov 11, 2024

Cole Bert's property taxes have spiked during his worst trapping season on record. A quail plantation looking to get rid of predatory coyotes is his chance to score some high-priced pelts. It's a win-win situation because they get rid of their coyotes so they can have more quail, and I get the furs that I can sell to make money.

It can be really difficult to trap. I'm looking for a tow truck to take some variety of techniques to catch them. I would suggest some drop-in animal droppings, maybe an eaten rabbit. It's probably medium-sized coyote. Now I need to set her up on this regular travel trail.

Coyotes love deer meat, but this deer meat is about two months old and starting to stink a little bit. Woof! They can still smell that a long way off. The other thing that helps out a lot is a little bit of cow pee.

You'd think another coyote came by, and he'll check it out. He'll say, "Man, who was here?" His front paw will step on that trap, and I'll have you. The set looks pretty good, but I've got to put out a couple more.
