I put some apples out to see if anything was around. Got a couple deer and a lot of coyotes. I think it's time to get the foxpro out.

Thinking about it

got it

I will take another one.

Can you tell if a buck is going to be a nice one by looking at his bases? Looks like he has some nice bases to grow from.

This new cuddeback rocks.

Yes you will often find coyote scat with apples berries, you name it in it.

Good looking coyote... especially for this time of year.

A good friend of mine lives up in Ferndale... he throws apples out by his trail cam all the time and has several pictures of coyotes snatching apples too.

Yes on the coyotes eating apples, berries, grass, etc. As for telling how big a deer is going to be by lookingat his bases. . . .NO. You can get an Idea and maybe mass at the base but won't be able to tell if he will just be a big 2 or a 4 or just a 2 with tiny crab claws, etc.

Nice pictures, interesting the coyotes like the apples. . . I've never put bait out, I had no idea! Looks like that buck'll be a good one. He's got nice pedicles.

oh yea. the best place ive ever gone coyote hunting was right on the edge of a big apple orchard in a cow pasture. ive never seen so many coyotes in one place.

deffinantly some good pictures......ive never seen coyotes eat em infront of me, but i have seen lots of scat with it....apples, apricotes, plums and what not....

And the deer......not to sure but he looks like a younger deer from what i can tell...that or maybe just not eating alot right now......Ide keep watching em and see if he fills out anymore, if so he might be older.....otherwise i think its probably a young 2 or 3 year buck. Doesnt look very old though

Growing up, I shot several coyotes that were eating cherries underneath the trees...
I think they will eat anything that does not try to eat them first.

as nice as those apples are i would eat them if i walked by them lol.

I think one of the main things I see in coyote crap is blackberry seeds. And all kinds of various other fruit seeds. But at certain times of the year I'd bet blackberries make up at least 75% of their diet.

Great pics.

My dog used to sit all day watching the apple tree. He would wait for an apple to fall and then run over there and eat it.

deaddog · « **Reply #18 on:** April 23, 2009, 12:53:31 PM »

My best coyote calling spots are right next to apple orchards, the ground gets coverd with apple scat so bad you have to look for a spot with out crap to sit down.

Coyotes are omnivores same as black and brown bears.

billythekidrock · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2009, 04:33:00 PM »

Nice yote pics. That buck looks young. His face seems very narrow.

Why do i have this uncontrollable urge to go shoot my gun?

coasthuntersdad · « **Reply #22 on:** April 24, 2009, 09:51:22 AM »

Judging by the pictures I would go with a yes on the apples. I would also put up a tree stand and nail that dog, he looks great.

kitsap · « **Reply #24 on:** April 29, 2009, 06:56:07 AM »

Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, they do eat apples. Also they recognize a food source and are looking for anything else that might be there eating the apples.

There was a particular spot I coyote hunted this year and all the yote crap was bright orange. I finally figured it out. CARROTS, of all things those mangey suckers love carrots. I never would have thought.

So do Deer!!! They Luv carrots. I have had apples out and Coyotes walk by and don't eat them? I have had deer do the same thing. Last year a Doe and two fawns were eating around my apples but not the apples? But in that area there are no fruit trees and not much for berries either.
