Crazy. They are strong. I’ve caught a few in cages and they usually damage them. Many damaged cages left empty.

A coyote can squeeze out through a 4 1/2" hole. I know that from the 1st traps I made out of 14-gauge wire.

Duke cages are often a one and done investment.

I managed to catch 2 beavers and 2 bobcats with it. The yote was the final straw! Lucky it made it this long. Oh well it was given to me.

One can only imagine the desperation an animal has to do that.🤯

I've considered getting some live traps, what is a good quality trap?
