I did this all the time in North Dakota.......Had 100's of photos of deer...Raccoons eating with deer...Flocks of Ravens eating my bait I had for coyotes,but never ever got a photo of a yote!
Even got photos of myself coming into range withing the cameras...
My good friend Kip,lives in ND still,he "Yote" hunts,he now has 23 "Yotes" hanging in the shed...
Good luck James on capturing a photo of those critters,they are smart..

If'n y'all get a pic of a chupacabra make sure and post it. I miss the coyotes we had in Commiefornia. I used to leave out the piles of ground squirrels I shot for them and they were all very tame. Here in Texas, these huckleberries shoot all predators on sight and then complain about how we have too many fuggin deer. We have very few coyotes and I really miss their singing every evening....Mel

Yep, we're supposed to have lot of chupes round these parts in Texas but I think they are actually coyotes with acute sarcoptic mange. That form of mange is really strange and gross and creates some very f'd up looking critters. We had a porcupine I had to put down that had a bad case and first time I saw it I was wondering what the heck that beastie was. Thought I had me a rare mini-glyptodont.....Mel

Hard to tell dog or coyote. Mel, why do you suppose mange is so prevelant? Here i thought too many coyotes, but that aint the deal in your neighborhood. |

Looks like a freeway where I placed the meat. Lots of tracks. They did not touch it last night, no surprise due to my human scent. Coyotes very shy here. About necessary to remove scent from traps. They get healthy here too. Guessing 45 pounds. I am 6'3" Never see them with skin issues around here, this one had a beautiful thick coat. My neighbor had a pair of burros. One got caught in blackberry brambles and the coyotes killed it. Never imagined they would tackle that big of an animal. They do kill my neighbors calves. Cattle ranchers do not like them around here.  |

Neat experiment. What are you going to do with your coyotes?

Deer a nuisance and overpopulated. I was simply hoping to get their behavior on film. The area is a cattle farming area and the farmers are skilled at trapping the coyotes. Coyotes a big problem for them. |

Good idea. We have had several coyotes in our neighborhood --- residential. Never before. Been here since 1979.

Up here when we hear coyote there are no timber wolves in the area and they have eaten the fox, hear timber wolves there are no coyote, but a few fox. They don't live together very well. Been several dogs in the last year taken by wolves, they usally go after the dog even on a leash or in a yard. Coyotes will trick the dog into coming to them then attack.

Here in the Carolinas the house cats and feral cats disappear when the coyotes appear. We have Carolina Dogs, part coyote, part dog, and part wolf. Been here since Indian times.

That is what coyotes do to dogs here, coaxing the dog into the woods and then attacking. |
