Question for the veterans. So if a land owner has been trying to trap and snare coyotes on his property for several years with no luck and drives his property 7 days a week along with trying to thermal hunt and call along with flying over his property with a thermal on a drone all with no
Luck is this property even worth trapping? No way these coyotes are on any type of pattern and probable have an PhD in avoiding humans. I’m not sure I’ve ever trapped coyotes on a property with this level of activity.

And there's still coyotes?

He’s saying he’s suffering fawn loses and found one that part of it was missing. In my experience coyotes eat the whole fawn small bones, hide and all. So I don’t know if he was actually looking at a coyote kill. We haven’t had rain in going on 4 weeks and it was 111 deg yesterday. So it’s more than likely it died from the heat and smaller predators fed on it. They are catching a few pictures on trail cams but I don’t think many.

I would think that if he has coyotes they are adjusted to the activity and just avoid him or lay low when he gets close.

If he is no more of a trapper than you say, just make sets accordingly

I do think most ADC/pros would charge a higher fee

I have seen what you can do and am confident you could catch them behind him
May be challenging but will probably enhance your skills

Ask him for a list of baits and lures he has used avoid those. A flat set with a coyote turd from outside the area and a shot of urine at a flat set would be my first choice.
