Trapping in alleyway......... made with round hay bales ........do coyotes use these pathways or would they avoid............not plastic wraped...........only string bound............

Run them down my way, mice/rabbit heaven. Problem footholding them is damage to the hay if they are to close together. Snares are deadly in them.

Coyotes as well as other predators like to look for mice in areas like this.

You may have found the place for a extra extra large cage Captain

They will destroy the hay bale if they can reach it
If u have had snow u should of been able to see tracks

They are very attractive.
But I’ve also had traps ran over when farmers come to pick up bales and run over the set placed near the bales.
As mentioned to be sure the catch doesn’t destroy a bale it can reach.

You will learn to stay back a little after you get a couple sets flattened by a truck or tractor.

Hey thanks.......the farmer I rent fields to takes away his hay twice annually upon baling.....I purchased a dozen bad round bales to leave ....on my property as field rodent housing and possibly attract coyote to one central location......from what you guys say they will seek it out .........since its been in place.......have in daylight hours..... 4 sightings........even large hawk has moved in to hunt and eat........have been thinking of throwing some grain in openings to speed mice and vole number increase.......

I thought u wanted less varmints on ur place.

Seems counter intuitive to me as well. Not every critter is gonna cram itself between the bales either, would be a great place to set foot holds though, some flat sets there would take coyote if they came thru.
