Where did the coyotes go???
« on: December 12, 2010, 08:12:49 PM »
So I havnt seen hide or hair of a coyote for a week but the one I saw at night. I haven't seen any fresh tracks or sign where it's been like a highway before. I've had some howl from a distance but not seen them.

Easy, you have snow bird coyotes. They went south for the winter. :IBCOOL:  If it means anything, they did not come my way either.
May you have a target rich environment!

I went to a spot tonight that the dogs answer usally quickly to the howl and not even a peep! Drove by another area that I seen 7 a week ago and nothing, not even tracks in the mud? The onyl thing I can figure is weather or maybe their shopping for x-mas![img] :chuckle: Now the trick is to fins their wal mart and then I'm back in business!

Yeah I need to go to another place I have been putting off for some reason and ask permission again since I know that it has been left alone for some time, not to mention it has bobcats in it!!!!! Maybe I'll get lucky this weekend?

Up here there was wet heavy snow that the coyotes had to plow thru. As soon as they can walk on top of the snow they will be out and about more. Maybe this weekend.

Around my area, you can here them howl between 10pm and 4am.  Once it starts getting light, they are dead quiet.  Hope to get out Saturday and convince one or two to come say hi and quit being so snobish.

Looks like they are pairing up . I went to a ranch today and did a lot of walking and driving the roads on virgin snow .
The tracks i did see indicated more doubles traveling then singles .
Time to get out the howlers.
The tracks I saw indicated they are traveling a lot on the night shift as most tracks i cut were hours old .
I called a few stands and saw nothing , not even a Magpie .
Love many
Trust few
Wrong None

The one I tried to get today was howling his head off right at daylight and he was all alone.  I think he was looking for a buddy.

I normally hear them frequently at my place. I haven't heard them lately, but I know they are still coming in. I lose about one cat per week. :o

Lose 1 cat a week? I wondered who was feeding them.
