Trapping Coyotes -Taking Care of Business - The Management Advantage #18

Спорт

Coyotes are detrimental to wildlife populations. They originated in the west, but have since moved into eastern and southeastern portions of the United States. They will not only decimate deer and turkey populations, but can also hurt livestock and farm animals. Trapping them is an effective way for controlling their populations.
This week we talk with Robert Waddell who is one of the foremost coyote trappers in the world. He gives strategies and instructions for trapping coyotes. They are smart animals, but with some knowledge, a wildlife manager can be successful trapping them to control their populations. Keys to successfully trapping coyotes include trap placement in regards to the bait hole, properly hiding the trap, and finding areas that funnel coyote activity. A trapper is trying to mimic the natural activity of a coyote which is finding something worth hiding and burying it in a hole. It could be something as simple as a bone or as large as a part of an animal carcass. Coyotes will dig holes to bury these items, then mark their territory with scent to show it is their own. When other coyotes find these locations, their natural instinct is to steal the item and bury it as their own. Simply put, coyotes are thieves. With these key concepts in mind, Casey hits the woods to take care of the coyote problem that plagued him during deer season.
The traps used feature an offset jaw that simply holds the coyote to the trap. It doesn't inflict pain or suffering and allows land managers a way to control coyote populations. Trappers are a dying breed. It's not as simple as going out and setting a trap. There is a ton of knowledge, skill, and know how that go into successful trapping.

    I was a trapping fanatic when I was in high school , I’m 52 and haven’t trapped since then... I borrowed 6 traps from my girl friends dad and set them today after watching your videos... I learned sooo much it’s unbeleivable .... I can’t wait to check them in the morning. Your show is the best ever!!! Keep up the good work!!!

    Great video! I run a large hunting ranch in S. Texas and we're covered up in coyotes and bobcats and they put a big hurt on our fawn crop every year. If our hunters don't find a deer within a few hours, the meat is almost always lost to coyotes. They provide a lot of entertainment in the off season, calling for them; but it doesn't make a dent in their numbers. Y'all's videos are helping me get off to a running start trapping them - THANKS! Also, the cinematography and the editing is REALLY nice! I film for a long-running hunting show on the Outdoor Channel and I really enjoyed the camera work. Great job, guys - keep it up!

    Great video man. You’re right, trapping is dying off but I’m right there with you! I’m 28 and started trapping 2 years ago. I was in a deer stand one morning and saw a doe and fawn walk right under me. It wasn’t 5 minutes later a song dog had its nose on the ground tracking that fawn. I sent some lead his way. Ever since, I’ve been trapping in middle TN with my MB550s. We’ve noticed our deer and turkey population almost double. I’m fixing to set this week and hopefully have some tight chains soon!

    Very well done presentation. Good camera work, and you explained details very well. And most importantly... No Excess chatter. Perhaps I missed it, but I didn't hear anything about some of the other aspects we also need to beware of, like: Making sure to get the land owner's permission prior to trapping season. And informing him when you will have active sets on his land, (and where located) so that he does not run a tractor over your sets. Also, most rural folks have dogs, and dogs like pretty much the same bait that coyotes like... Sniff sniff. So tactically suggesting that their dogs "Just Might" be restrained for a short while...(While you do the lords work) might be a good idea. Also, I didn't hear any mention of tagging or marking your traps. Unless that is not required in IL? And lastly, as the old adage goes, "Out of sight, is Out of mind". Now what I mean there is this. Not all trapping is done off of dirt roads out in farm country with a majority of folks having good common sense. So, if/when your set location is near/within sight of a paved road with potential "Soccer Moms" shuttling young city kids about... Well. Do your best to minimize the visibility of said activity, or perhaps re-locate your set further away with less visibility to the Disney worshipers. Again, thanks for the really good video.

    I think its true that coyotes have a impact on the whitetail population! But I love to hunt them for the fact they are the biggest challenge there is in the state of Ohio to call in and shoot! I get a bigger rush seeing a big ole dog slowly making his way down wind of me. Sneaking through the brush. Trying to get a look at what his ears are telling him there is there! That makes my heart pound more than any 200 class deer period! Nice video M.A.
