So .......Ive been trapping coyotes for local ranches. The ranches here in Southern Colorado are relativily small (100 to 400 acres). While there are a few resident coyotes on the ranches,, most of what I catch are transients. I typically will catch between 10-30 coyotes in a 30 day period per ranch. Here in Cali-rado we have to get a 30 day trapping exemption to use leg holds and snares. (These were ban in 1994. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1037&context=vpc18 ) Since we only have 30 days per year per ranch I am looking to get more efficient at catching more. The main issue that we run into is local coyotes avoiding the ranch once they see another coyote caught. I start trapping another ranch tommarrow. any and all comments welcome, especially the sarcastic pseudo-humorous ones. Long Live Trapperman!!

Did I misunderstand. Did you mean 10-30 coyotes per 100-400 acre ranch PER ranch? I have never heard of a population that dense. Can I come down and do some calling? I was just thinking the same thing.

you need to kill them in the spring if you want to see fewer coyotes. den and trap. if your killing 16 coyotes on a half section, especially out of those potato fields and pastures, your whacking them. there is always a winter shuffle of coyotes in winter. april and may is the time to actually lower numbers
