Title: coyote
Post by: redi on March 18, 2016, 09:18:43 AM: Surprised to find a coyote in our Bobcat trap. He was very calm. The trap is about 12X20X55 so he could all the way in before the door tripped. He was missing a foot so maybe he was extra hungry.

That must be a lucky cage. That's the first one I ever built and that's what I caught my first bobcat with. I'd save that pelt and put it up one of he wall. Congrats. :tup:

:yeah: I probably would have let him go being he only had three legs, probably not much threat to fawns or calves.

I would bet it could cover the ground as fast as a four legged coyote. I read all the time about two legged coyotes in combining country and they seem to make out.
I remember Jim Scoggins had a dog that only had two on one side. Little guy had no trouble keeping up with other dogs.

Post by: redi on March 20, 2016, 11:32:34 PM: I had the trap there for about 3 weeks and no action using a beaver hindquarter for bait and feline fix lure. My other 3 traps in the area are routinely sprung and knocked around. I assume coyotes are setting the traps off.
