I'm on a job for a very sick yote. Law and local ordinances state I can only cage trap. Residential area. Trap has been backed into a grouping of native shrubs where he has been seen resting underneath in the afternoons.

Used bacon bait beneath (the recipe is on this site someplace) yote urine, floor is perfectly prepped, bait hanging/wired from inside the top of the trap, he'd have to step on the plate to get to it. What else can I do to convince this animal to enter? It's been only 18 hours, but starving as he is, I'd have thought he'd have entered by now. This has worked well for me in the past, but it's not working yet for this guy. Thanks

Starving or mange?
My guess is it wil die before you cage it

Severe mange Vinke...and now starving as a result. Horrible for any animal to suffer like this. People and their effing rat and squirrel poisons cause this. Rarely see it in remote desert, they're found near residential or agricultural areas around these parts. I've caged plenty, but this guy isn't going for what normally works, and I was hoping someone might have an idea I hadn't thought of.

Mange is ectoparasitic and has nothing to do with secondary ingestion.....

Rodenticides affect the immune systems of both canids and felines. Once poisoned rodents are ingested, the immune system is affected, and mange rears its ugly head. Some species of mange are carried naturally, and a healthy immune system keeps it in check, no different than the bacteria on our own skin.

We're seeing rodenticide induced mange due to immune system breakdown in kit foxes, bobcats, mountain lions, yotes, etc. all over this part of the country, in addition to the thousands that bleed out. (Including all raptors, carrion species, etc.)


Here's some reference information for you Vinke. You might want to read up.

I posted asking for possible ideas to get a sick yote trapped. This yote has severe mange because he's been eating poisoned ground squirrels near a residential area.

Do you have anything to offer?

Yes

Found a better article but it is also on cats, I have never read a thesis on canines

I think there is a possibility that yote may have passed away already or will soon. My be too sick to want to eat.

Most trappers don't think you can trap coyote in cages in any where close to a timely matter, you say you have so you have more experience then 99 % in doing it so probably no help here for you on this subject. The last study I read it was more then 1000 trapping days for 17 coyotes and most were sick or pups. One guy said he used a mouse squeaker on a auto loop in back of cage, that's all I can give you.
I was thinking you could ask the trappers from CO. or Wash. they are both cage only states.

All of the studies I have seen have none of the latest trap designs. NONE. The studies are all old and outdated. The designs are changing and improving faster than the years that go by. It is expensive to test. There is so much that goes into it.

Even if the best design for a region were to exist, how it best may be used in the regions tested would take some time. Many years.

Even for one to say that there will be little improvement in the future is in my opinion an uninformed guess. Trap function for coyotes will improve with time.

"For a region." Bingo!
Many folks think a yote is just a yote and nothing could be further from the truth. There are 19 known subspecies, each with it's own specific "quirks," to to speak, and there are variations in diet, etc. even within the same subspecies. The hardest thing is getting inside of their heads...which is a new game every time I go through this. But I like a good challenge, so that's OK. Trap placement and prep is everything...I'll spent 2-3 hours just getting a trap completely set up. Illness is also a HUGE factor. With scabies, their vision eventually ends up affected, sometimes severely, so setting traps using sight based baits/lures can be a total waste of time. For others, it may work well. I think I spend more time thinking about what's going on in an animal's brain than probably anything else, especially where yotes are concerned. If I were to try to cage trap back east---I might as well be on Mars. :-)

Why couldn't you have used collorum?

Hi Aaron

More feral/stray dogs in that area than I can count. If they end up cage trapped, I can just call animal control to come pick them up-and they do. Too many dogs in these parts killing livestock.

If a yote that sick ends up on a collorum with that many feral dogs around, feral dogs would have torn it apart, and while some folks don't care, I do. It's just not acceptable to me to allow that to happen. If he's cage trapped, he's protected until removed by me.

DezertTrapper, you are special (in a good way). I understand fully the circumstances which you must endure in order to accomplish what the rest of us outside of California take for granted. All of us do not want animals to suffer the misery of mange, yet those geniuses in charge of California laws are directly causing coyotes like this one to suffer days/weeks/months needlessly.
