COYOTE CARNAGE – SOUTH TEXAS BRUSH COUNTRY #7500455

With Deer season winding down I finally have an opportunity to put the hurt on a few sendero smart coyotes.

This will be my fifth year to trap this particular ranch. The last two seasons produced over 160 coyotes. Thanksgiving was the start time for those two runs.

These coyotes have been under pressure and it shows. They will test your patience and force you to think outside the box. The tail end and post rut just adds another level of difficulty to the mix.

Taking into account the late start and catch numbers from the prior seasons I don’t expect to post up big numbers, but the unique challenges of this situation will certainly present a host learning opportunities.


The main objective is to kill as many coyotes as I can to help protect the deer herd.


No more fawns for this lanky ball of hate.

This line has been rolling for a few weeks so I’ll post up catch photos from the prior checks until I get to the current day.


The first check kicked off with a breeding pair double.

As is often the case, the hind caught coyote is the adult female.

Note the MB 550 tripped by a deer in the background.

Here's a better look at the Male

Male – Flat Set – MB Fox Urine – Coyotero


The third coyote of the day was caught at the junction of an untraveled sendero and the main road.

A well-used game trail runs down the center of the sendero from left to right.

Coyotes were running the left side of the two-track as well as the game trail. The wind was blowing from left to right.

Sets around cattle guard junctions always produce their fair share of coyotes.

Coyotes here will run the inside bend of a road more times than not.

This less traveled spur road was no exception.

Male – Flat Set – G-Dog Urine – JL #1


This male was taken on a long stretch of road with no distinct features along the two track.

He wasn't about to pass up a roadside sniff.

Male – Flat Set – MB Fox Urine – Winter Wolf


In many cases It is hard to get a coyote to work a set very long in a wide open area like this.

More often than not it's a hit and run event. The far corner showed the most traffic.

This big girl made one step too many much to the dismay of her mate. She weighed in at twenty-eight pounds.

You Betcha!

Most folks would probably think that they would just detour around it Yote.

They do for the most part except for a few.

I have a Catahoula that will walk across them.

When it rains you can see the muddy prints where they have crossed.

A talented few even have balance and aim good enough to leave a calling card right on one of the pipes!

The ticks aren’t too bad here TD. We see a few on the older bucks around the brisket area where they can’t reach. The javelina and coyote both have their fair share of fleas like you would expect, but the ticks don’t seem to be much of a problem.

Do you use flat sets the majority of the time or seasonal?
