I've seen that footage before. I thought that there was something bogus about it then and still do after seeing it again.

I'm guessing semi-tame & well fed, kinda like a park squirrel.

Yeah, it was kicked around and there was an admission that the animal had been hanging around for days and this photographer decided to stage it as if it were a complete surprise. We never got the complete story, but it was kinda fishy.

Good hunting. LB

I dont know guys ,,,

Until this year all my close up coyote encounter were with dead coyotes.
I was surprised how timit the coyote we snared were this year. I have only ever done it this one time and it was only 5 or 6 coyotes but not one ever showed any aggression to the point we would take the snar off and handle them without fuss . i think that coyote in the video was just in the mood for playing around with something new , nothing more.

or just maybe west Texas coyotes are sissy's, they did come from Bush country

George,

There are others here who have caught a lot more coyotes in their time than me, but one thing I've always noticed about coyotes in a trap is that as long as my pickup is at a distance, they're generally pulling feverishly to work their way out of the trap. Once I got to a certain distance, and often definitely as soon as I stepped out and they saw me, they just completely surrendered and submitted to the inevitablility of the situation. Usually, they just lay down and gave me that "Just do it already" look. This applies to yearlings as the full adults I caught over the years were just plain unpredictable. In one particular instance, my sis in law was losing farm cats at an alarming rate and I cuffed the offending pup across the road from them on a cut bean field. My brother - a lifelong coyote hunter - had never been so close to one that wasn't dead or dying and he wanted a picture of it. I slowly straddled the coyote and grabbed it behind the head with one hand and turned it so the rising sun wasn't ruining the pic. My brother was shocked that I could or would do that.

Along that same line, I occasionally get a bad hit on a coyote and it tries to drag itself off after spinning. Early last year, I tried something a bit unconventional to see what would happen if, rather than blowing the crap out of them with a follow up round from my rifle, I simply charged at them like a man possessed. I did. Came out of hiding and ran right at him. He looked, I started screaming at him to stop, and he just cowered down and glared at me rather than running any further.

Now, I wouldn't try either stunt with a trapped or wounded bobcat. At least, not without a good pay out on the line.

I have never trapped a coyote till this year so i was set back on just how they would let me rub there bellies ..

cats are easy just throw a good car hart coat or a saddle blanket over them
and ponce on them ..

its the javalinas that is tricky with you bear hands , once you get there back leg its over but getting it is no fun that's why i put the pole together i have in the truck just for the javelina toothy bastards .

funny things make for a good time and live coyotes in the side tool box on my work truck can be funny,, well maybe not much for the kid i sent for the tools

Remember the time I had a shotgun stunned coyote wake up in the cab of my truck at 60 miles per hour, three adult men acting like little girls scared of a mouse. I could hardly keep it on the road.

Good hunting. LB

LOL. Reminds me of the time my grandpa told me when they were using an old 50's era truck to haul their coonhounds around. The dogs were tethered in the back - before nice dog boxes - and they just threw the dead coons behind the seat of the truck. One night, traveling down the road, he felt a tickle on his neck, so he just brushed it off. Thought it was Harry sitting in the passenger seat screwing with him. Happened again, he brushed it off and was just about to tell Harry to bug off when he looked in the rearview mirror. There, on the top edge of the bench seat, right next to him and barely illuminated in those old dashboard lights was one of those coons, very much alive. He said he and Harry both bailed out as soon as the truck slid to a stop.

Another instance - same grandpa - was when they were coyote hunting with dog wagons and greyhounds. I was about six at the time. Used to tie the coyotes down on top of the dog wagon with a hunk of bailing wire on two legs to keep them in place. Traveling through Salina, KS one Sunday morning in and amongst a throng of folks heading home from church and one coyote resurrected itself, stood up and fell over the side of the dog box while fighting the wires, ended up hanging there by two legs right in front of those dogs. Didn't last long. What a mess. Couldn't find an out of the way parking lot fast enough. LOL Wasn't too long after that when Kansas made public display of a dead coyote illegal.

George, it takes some real cajones to rub a live coyote's belly. I was just moving him around for a picture. Would never think to feel one up. LOL Now, feel up one of those little javelinas and you'll impress me. LOL

"Is it actually illegal to have a dead coyote on top of say a jeep cherokee or suburban in view of the public in Kansas?"

In short, yes. It is unlawful to display a dead coyote, skinned or unskinned, in transport on or in plain sight in a motor vehicle. Inside a truck bed or covered on a hitch-mounted cargo rack is legal. I even have a box on my ATV for when I use it hunting since, legally, I can't strap one down on the cargo rack to take it to the truck without being in violation. This law, and the regulations that states you have to have a hunting license to hunt them, a furharvesting license to trap them, and whichever license the coyote was taken under to sell them are the only restrictions on harassing the lowly coyote in Kansas. Claymores, tanks, napalm, cluster bombs, lasers on "kill" and flamethrowers are all considered legal if you can get your hands on them, so far as I know.
