How many coyotes did you radio collar last year?
Since the fall of 2000, I have put on about 30 collars- no more than 9-10 are in operation at one time. (Make that 37 with the collars this spring)
How many did you collar this year?
6 last fall, 7 this spring.
How many is the goal and for how long?
Since this is an offshoot of the deer program, the goal is to have 6-10 coyotes collared at all times for the duration of the deer studies. This coyote program MIGHT develop into a full blown predator study.
How many were shot by hunters?
A lot. In fact- if our population is the same as the at large population, there is a 100% turnover in population over a 2 year period. Many more than I would have guessed are shot.
What was the reasons for collaring coyotes?
T osee their interaction vis a ve the radioed deer popualtion. Indirectly, a lot of study is being put in on territories and ranges.
Is this program running through The Minnesota DNR?
Yes. [ June 15, 2003, 09:57 AM: Message edited by: trappnman ]
