Yes. I'll need to know where and how good of a backstop you have. :bfg:
I'd kill it from a stand with an arrow! In a firearm restricted area, I've baited them before with a cam to see whats around but haven't gotten out with my bow yet. Sooo easy to bait, from my trail cam pics, after a week or two, they start visiting site regularly.. every day seems like.

Dry dog food is an excellent option, believe it or not. Coyotes love it, and other animals don't seem so interested in it. Find some cheap bulk stuff and you're in business!

Yep, it's legal. I've done it, too. They will eat almost anything, but I've had problems with vultures or ravens eating the bait before coyotes if I use meat scraps or animal carcasses.Yep. Kibbles are the ticket.

Okay. I've seen the vultures... I have 13 of them in one cam shot. I get scraps from a butchery. After the vulture issue, I solved that problem by tying a couple pig heads to a tree with rope... vultures were still there but they couldn't carry THAT off. A bear eventually rip it away.
What do people do with their coyotes after harvesting some? Is there money in the hides? Are coyote parts legal to sell? I'm curious. Would love to see more deer numbers around my house... coyotes seem to be thick.

You can sell the hides but not now. They will not be prime enough for a fur buyer to be interested until the last week of October.

So even though prices might not be peak right now, how does one sell a yote once it is down? I honestly do not want the one I have coming back all the time for the next few months, rather remove from the gene pool now if I can.
Post by: Bango skank on May 31, 2019, 07:49:19 PM
wow, what timing for a thread!! I have noticed a "path" under my back fence the last few times mowing, threw a cam out a few days ago. 12:30-1:20 every night so far I have had a yote in the backyard. trying to devise a plan now on how to take him out. 45yrds from closest hide I can use so might be a bit much for my bow right now (not been practicing (BAD BAD BOY!) That and also it will be very dark that time of night so chances of seeing sights is about zero.

Mount a light on a rifle and take him out

yeah I might just train this one to come up closer to house. he is pretty skittish on video, so we shall see. Want to at least get him out of corner he is frequenting and into other side of yard so he can't duck under fence in half a second, that would make recovery a pita. putting more cams out now as he came into cam from the lastnight so might have a second entrance I haven't noticed. Wiley Coyote for sure.If he’s taking the same path just set up a snare and he’ll be dead in the morning. Use some dead branches to funnel him in and put some dog food on the other side
Post by: lamrith on May 31, 2019, 10:24:00 PM
I actually like that idea. My concern there is I have a dog which can be let out at night by other family members to do her business. normally she will not venture out to that back corner then, but if someone is tired and lazy they could leave her out longer and then she might explore. I will gather more intel on where the yote is coming in/out and maybe do a snare though.yeah I might just train this one to come up closer to house. he is pretty skittish on video, so we shall see.

FWI, It is a Gross Misdemeanor to do this punishable by up to one year in jail and a $5000 fine.

My neighbor said back in the day they would put a large treble hook on some heavy fishing line and hang it from a tree with some meat on it about 4 foot off the ground, I don’t know if I believe him but man that would suck to be that coyote!!Also illegal. I doubt it would work anyway.

A little encouragement to help stoke the fire, keep in mind those numbers could be completely different next year, but still nice to dream a little.

Those prices motivate, especially since I have tons of coyotes behind my house... would be easy to harvest. Timber company land behind me.

If I were you, I'd set a treestand up back aways out of the open area of your yard, go to local butcher for scraps, pile the stuff up there, wait a week for the coyotes to get into a routine of feeding there and I guarantee they'll start showing up in daylight hours. All that easy food is too tempting, they won't want to constantly wait for dark to feed.. esp. if there is multiple coyotes and competition for the food (which there will be with birds I'm sure). I have baited them a couple times for fun and this always happens. They always show up during daylight hours after a few days to a week. Although, there doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason to what hour of the day they are showing up. In all likelihood, 3 or 4 hours in a stand per day and you'll see one after 2 or 3 days.

Also from experience, they are skittish on video because they heard your camera trigger. May not be as skittish as you think.

Those prices are for winter coats. No one wants their summer fur.

Broadway Joe Namath wore this fantastic coat. It was coyote fur.

Are they in summer coats yet? It has been warming up, but I thought they might still have heavy coats right now? The one I have on cam looks pretty good. Just have to get him now, he has been absent for a few days.A little encouragement to help stoke the fire, keep in mind those numbers could be completely different next year, but still nice to dream a little.

Might find one shedding but doesn't matter since the people that buy furs are pretty picky. The professional trappers are done before spring if that tells you anything.

East side dogs are prime December through February
Post by: Humptulips on June 10, 2019, 11:53:14 AM
Westside coyotes are worth nothing so shoot them and leave them
East side dogs are prime December through February
I will take exception to this. Nov/Dec west side coyotes are good except of course ones with mange. I think you will find 1/3 to 1/2 that will have problems later in Dec. Good practice to look them over and be selective but there are decent coyotes on the west side, just don't expect to find a lot of heavies.
