How to catch a very young coyote pup?

Breeding occurs in February with a 9 week gestation period. Litters of 5-8 pups are born underground in a den. You will start seeing pups foraging around in early May. If the mother feels threatened, she will move the entire den up to 5 miles away. Friend of mine caught 2 and tried to raise them in captivity. At 4-5 months old they got mean as hell and had to be released back into the wild.

Raise them and keep them if you so wish, drown them in a canvas sack if you like, but conditioning them to associate humans with food and then releasing them is a major POS move by his "friend".
