I came home tonight to find the Wife going though a big box of old pictures.
You know those really embarrassing pictures that they post of kids during their Graduation? She was looking for those, but I found these.
A couple of coyotes bound for the live market.
I snared this bitch on a damage complaint for eating lambs. A couple of days later, she gave me these.
A couple of days after they were born, she tore a hole though the 3/4" plywood and escaped. She was the only live coyote that I've ever lost to escape.
This coyote was a swimmer. I was calling along a drained lake bed, and hit him just a little far back. He swam out to a little island about 200 yards off shore, looked back at me, then tipped over dead.
I had to go and borrow a boat to retrieve him.

These last two shots are from night hunts.
One with a shotgun.
And one with a rifle.

Very cool.
Tim, did the bitch leave her pups or take them with her?

She abandoned them. She came back the first night, but I never saw any sign of her after that. I left her open access to take the pups, hoping that she would, but no dice. I tried everything I could with those pups, but with in a week, they were all dead.

Neat pictures, Tim. Thanks.
Lots of "ear" on those top coyotes.
The plywood mention reminds me of some of my old adventures. For some reason me and a buddy decided we were going to live trap a coyote. Just another sign of a lack of close adult supervision - any plan we would have had for a live trapped coyote probably would have not taken advantage of the "live" part.
Our homemade trap and baits required more than one design change to get its' first visitor and another change or two before it actually trapped anything. That is where things really went wrong and the 3/4" plywood reference comes in to play. The largest and only identifable part of our trap left were the chunks of plywood used to reinforce the trap corners - the rest was a mass of twisted wire and boards with a few stands of hair woven in here and there just to remind us that we were close, but not quite there.
Tough to live-trap, even tougher to hold.
