What does a coyote do when it sees a fox in a trap? I figured a coyote would kill the fox but I’ve never had a fox killed in a trap.

Had coyotes kill one in a trap a few years ago. Eric

A coyote will do what a coyote will do to a fox in a trap...

I've had for sure kilt, for sure chomped on, and for sure left alone. With snow to see whats up

Have had fox killed by coyotes before.

And then sometimes, you get em both!

Normally nothing. Typically they just walk around, check out the fox in the trap & then leave. However, on occasion they may kill one. That can happen with almost any animal in a trap though. On occasion, a coyote may even kill another coyote or a bobcat in a trap. That's not the norm, but it can happen. Just depends on how aggressive the predator not in the trap is feeling & how vulnerable the animal in the trap is perceived to be.

Nice pic Tony1967.

That is a great pic.

Thanks guys! Those sets were in there for over a month before I finally connected. I caught another coyote in the coyote catch set 2 days later.

I could write a book on fox killed and Eaton in traps lol.

When a lion finds a fox, coyote or cat In A trap it's carnage.

Great pic Tony1967

Awesome double Tony 1967

I have had many foxes kill and eaten by coyotes and the next day I will have the coyote.

Yep, one I had killed by coyotes in that same location. I put the fox paw in the dirthole and had a coyote the next day.

Man That is what makes trapping so much fun You never know what is waiting for you when checking your line But some times it exceeds our best expectations Just seeing the pictures made my heart skip a beat Really amazing catch for a double .
