But If It's a coyote den they will be back and will investigate It every time they are In the area. It's a perfect place to make at least 2 or 3 sets. Set right at the den site.

I just didn't want to chance running coyotes away by being too close. Do coyotes only use dens when raising pups? "You cook good rabbit pilgrim."
