An alpha is the top male in the group. Hes only 2nd in charge to the alpha female. Lots of times you'll catch the alpha male first because he will be checking every new sent and objects out in his home range. The alpha female is the same one. When catch her you've done something. Is there any way you can tell if it is the alpha male or female? Sorry, I'm not familiar with this type stuff. When I go trapping, I'm trying to catch any coyote, bobcat, fox, badger, 'coon, skunk, possum, etc that walks past my set!

If I remember right,you are 13,so not a stupid question. There has been talk of having to catch the alpha male first,which is retarded. You catch them all as the come thru,is the goal. There is nothing saying that the alpha was not already taken or died on a highway or even still part of the pack structure. If that is fact, then there are folks catching the same numbers and more that don't buy into that crap. Very true statement. I try to catch everyone that comes by. Buyers dont pay any more for an alpha male or female. Go catch coyotes and have fun doing it

Sometimes you can tell if its the alpha by the way they act in a trap. Usually bigger and more aggressive in my neck of the farmlands

as stated the alphas are more aggressive acting. Old adult dogs will greet me at the end of the chain. Yoys cower at the opposite end. Imho alphas are what keep the yote world in check as well as next years population

Why are there so many Mark June haters on here? Is it just petty jealousy or has the guy really done something to serve all the hate? Just curious.

good question author trapper. I suspect you are well on your way to becoming a good coyote trapper.
coyotes are not wolves and not really pack animals. they can and do hunt together occasionally but not wolves or pack animals. we need a classification for coyotes that only applies to coyotes. I don't think any other animal interacts with each other like they do. sometimes a coyote that has bred acts very timid in your trap. sometimes they do hunt together. bad weather especially. takes turns running antelope or herding deer onto pond ice.
coyotes can get nervous after you catch a few of them. whether or not you catch a breeder or three has nothing to do with it. leave for a month and come back you can catch the ones you left plus the ones that have drifted in

The dominant male in a group of coyotes, stupid. That is a helpful response.. Except for the last word. I hope you feel better about yourself...
