Gourmet predators like brains, and that is usually older adults. Patterns in Great Horned Owls eating brains and dry land mink. For nostalgia purposes, when Richard Nixon banned poisons and the EPA took off all suitable off the shelf poison control, the coyotes appeared. Yes they had some help in transplants from "hunters", but it was the same early 1980's era that saw the racoon plague in the east when Florida banned trapping. American wildlife policy is not effective any more. It is easier to raise large predators who do not vote, than to raise what Teddy Roosevelt stated was proper wildlife policy along with John Burroughs (Godfather of Yosemite) in killing all the large predators and leaving only the suitable wildlife for humans to harvest. America needs an eradication program for everything from ticks to coyotes, because nature is finding a way through ticks to crop the surplus humans and coyotes run through cycles of mange which spread to domestic animals. These yotes were raised on lamb and in most situations the reason they were raised on lambs is because all the fawns were killed off. It is not like when Ronald Reagan was president in cheap gas, cheap ammo and 500 dollar pick ups, so that weekend roaders were always picking off these predators for good fur prices to keep things in check. Most people can not afford a license and most people can not afford to call ADC and the state employees for the most part are as dense as the one who told me a raccoon had killed 2000 dollars worth of chickens. I informed the college boy that raccoons do not carry off birds. To that he just blinked stupidly and had nothing to say. It all turned out wonderful as I killed the predator and the state promoted the moron to a higher post of conservation officer.

Thanks for sharing. Good to see a trapper out doing what he does best. Good job. How did it turn out?
We lost our fox population 30 years ago. I took a few coyotes off our drainage this last winter and guess what? Now people are telling me they are seeing foxes. One guy told me yesterday he saw 3 separate foxes on one country road in three different places. Have not seen a coyote rack all spring.
Just passin through

Caught a female coming into one of my sheep pastures last week, in the same hole I caught a male in about a month ago. She was a smart one, had been digging a crossings since I caught the male. A couple of weeks ago she uncovered a trap and flipped it over, but did not come under the fence. I thought for sure I'd be hunting her for quite some time. But, her digging got her caught, only by three toes, but still caught. I cut her open to inspect her repro tract and she had 5 knots on it, one for each pup. She was not still nursing, but you could tell it had not been long since she kicked them off. I have been back in that country twice howling, but have not found them. Will keep trying though, they'll get lonely eventually.

I think hear in my area the overpopulation of black bears are the biggest problem with fawn mortality. Most of our deer hunters wont shoot bears. Most of them tell me that bear meat tastes bad. I offer to give them some of mine and tell them how to properly handle a bear after they get one. I have had some change their minds after eating some of my bear meat.
The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price

I think we lost a young goat a few months back. I didn't actually see the remains. We got some steep brushy land that is hard to cover on foot. We definitely got black bears. not sure what killed it.
wanna be goat farmer.

They all have guilty looks on their faces . . . Hahahahaha!!I think the same thing every time I catch one this time of year. Since first commenting on this thread I've caught 7 going into or out of sheep pastures, or within a half mile of sheep pastures. All this country around here used to have sheep, and everyone trapped and had coyote drives. On top of that there were government trappers. Pretty easy to keep the numbers down when everyone is working on them. Now I have 1 out of 6 neighbors that traps as much or more than me. Oh well gotta do something.

I have a farmer friend that just had 2 sheep killed early this week by coyotes, that makes 5 now the coyotes got off him this summer. I wish I could do something for him, I set up a trail cam Saturday evening to see what I can see. I do know they won’t be back for a few weeks that seems to be the norm for them
I don’t trap because I want to I trap because I have to

Just caught one around a pasture where lambs had been killed and eaten. It took several days to get a permit and then 2 weeks after setting the traps. We have had a lot of rain and everything is green so sign is hard to find even on the 2 tracks but I knew they had to be around at some point. From the comments on this thread, sounds like I am not the only one seeing long wait times for them to come back.
