Discussion, coyote pups - 06/30/22 08:22 PM
So I set up a job yesterday. By my read based on lay of land and reported sightings I figured to be within a hundred yards or so of a den. Figure mated pair and pups. No pups reported seen just multiple sightings of a single adult.
Location, a 6 acre church lot front half cleared and paved. Subdivision backyards line three sides. I figure this wooded three acres is a den site so I didn't go poking around just set the woodline on obvious trails.
This AM I have a pair, male and female. By tooth wear older than 2, female looked oldest. Female appeared to have nursed but was dry. In poor shape, scabby with mange and poorly fleshed. Male in good shape with good fur for a southern summer yote. He was a fighter not wanting the noose.
Working theory, possibly no pups based on condition of female and no pups seen.
Discuss
Tomorrow will tell.
