They are very VERY common around us and am trying to think of the best way to catch a bunch of them.

Would this work? Anybody tried?
Was thinking if I kill a deer this weekend and put the remains in a hog trap would the coyotes go in the trap? Is the trap doors to strong to open for coyotes.

Can anybody recommend a better way to trap several at a time?

Thanks.

Cook lots of bacon
soak up bacon grease w/ sponges
put pieces of bacon sponge all around the property
coyote eats sponge
cant digets sponge
kills coyote

Drop a safe or piano from a tall tree. It will always land on the coyote

Yotes are smart, you will have a one hell of a hard time catching a bunch in a hog trap. Footholds are your best bet but its going to take some time. Poison works well, just don't get caught.

Why do you want to trap them?

I've known guys that use the big live traps they use for catching dogs, try bait that smells really strong, sardines or something. I prefer to catch mine with a .22 lr or .17 hmr. Foot traps work really good....until you catch your hand or pet dog.

My Paw would shove aboue 15 asprins in a few different hotdogs and leave them around the camp and out of reach for pets.

The asprin would thin out the blood too much and the coyotes would be dead.

I know tylenol will do that to dogs I guess it would work on coyotes also.

I think coyotes might have killed a deer behind my house last night. Was grilling out and man, they were going crazy. It was pretty crazy to hear. I've heard it before, but this was less than 100 yards in back of my house. I have a deer feeder out, and saw deer back there earlier in the day. I'm gonna do some hiking when I get home from work today to see if I can find any evidence of a kill. If I find anything I'll post pics.

What you probably need to get is a distressed rabbit call. I've heard you can get one on a CD, so you could pop that CD in the radio and sit and wait with a gun and some bourbon.

You won't get a coyote in a hog trap. In my opinion footholds are the way to go. If you want to catch more than one at a time put out more traps. The first one is the hardest to catch but after that they are pretty easy. I just got my traps out to start setting tomorrow so if you decide to go with footholds or snares I can snap some pics of a couple sets to help you.

Glad to see there are other trappers on here. Word of advice if using footholds, be prepared to be pissed off. This morning checking traps I could see footprints walking up to trap and found a yote turd 3 foot from pan. They came, they checked, they left. Just part of the game.

This sounds like the most fun. .17hmr to the head makes a pretty awesome thud/pop sound.

SNARES

Check for local coyote pens around your area. Call them and ask them how much they give for live coyotes.

Use any left over guts/meat from a kill. We used this big boar hog as coyote bait. Dead Piggy Leave it a couple days and coyotes will make trails to the kill. Then put snares on the trails that they make. They sell for somwhere around 140$/piece.

I caught a yote in a hog trap using a live chicken as bait, but it only happened once. Tried a few other times but no luck.
