Collared Yote

[HAGEMANIAC]

Well, I heard back from the University of Washington today.

His name, Coyote 4.  He was trapped and collared by UW on Aug 30 2018, just east of Diamond Lake. His estimated age when trapped was was between 2-3, making him roughly 4-5 when he died.  He had a pretty small home range, compared to some coyotes, of 35 sq/km.  He was part of the WDFW and UW Predator/Prey project, research on the implementation of wolf populations and their effects on other predators/prey.  The collar is going to be returned to UW so they may conduct more research on his behaviors and movements.  I gave them what pictures I had and also the coordinates of his location, so they can attempt to study him further.  Overall, a very informative and awesome experience.

Nice work! Hopefully the "study" does not conclude that we limit shooting yotes to a permit only.

Well, to their credit, I am surprised they gave you any information at all about this coyote.
Was the battery still good and transmiting on this collar?
Male?
I wonder how they figure what these predators kill, or what kills them just from their movements.
Obviously a turkey was the predator in this case. Ha ha!
Thanks for the interesting post.

It is up.  Unfortunately the shot wasn't caught on film, we were in a slow period and camera was off. It all happened so fast!!
