Caging Coyotes

Looks like good set up to me. Like the walk through set up it should well for all critters. Let us know how it turns out.

If It is set the way I think it is, it should work.

Good luck Bigbadwolfwdc! looking forward to hearing about how it all works out.

Has anyone tired those large circular hog style guillotine style traps they use in the south?

Way too cost prohibitive!

I have something I am working on that has the potential to actually be a coyote trap and not so bulky like other ideas I have seen.
Cost is another story. I'm not so sure any coyote cage trap can be built in a very attractive price range.
What kind of price would you think acceptable?

[Machias]

I don't know, probably less than $500, and that is if it is effective.  Since I can apply for and use padded legholds in certain situations, not sure I would spend a bunch...But I'd have to see the trap and weigh my options.

The most you need to charge to come out.

Humptulips,
Is there a problem using live bait?  I thought we couldn't.

You can use live bait but it has to be domestic and it better be cared for properly.
No laws I know specifically address live bait but the laws on animal cruelty would come into play.

(1) A person is guilty of animal cruelty in the first degree when, except as authorized in law, he or she intentionally (a) inflicts substantial pain on, (b) causes physical injury to, or (c) kills an animal by a means causing undue suffering or while manifesting an extreme indifference to life, or forces a minor to inflict unnecessary pain, injury, or death on an animal.

(2) A person is guilty of animal cruelty in the first degree when, except as authorized by law, he or she, with criminal negligence, starves, dehydrates, or suffocates an animal and as a result causes: (a) Substantial and unjustifiable physical pain that extends for a period sufficient to cause considerable suffering; or (b) death.
