Coyotes crossing under a fence —interesting.

[Throwback]

I checked my cameras today. Has one set up at a corner fence crossing that used to have a gate at the location till it eroded too much. Watch these two videos. The coyotes cross twice Coming from the same direction about 4 days apart and cross in the same spot both times—but they don’t cross in the same place. They both basically touch a fence post when they go under.

I would set a blind trap set there but there are also a LOT of deer crossing at that same exact spot

January 19

January 23

Here’s a single coyote crossing January 20. Same direction. Same spot—side of his body basically touching a post when he goes under

Good video! Thanks for sharing. I’ve got a spot I trap that has an old cow pasture. The coyotes cross that fence. Maybe this will help me learn how to blind set them

Yeah but from what I can tell does and very small bucks cross the same places.
I mean that little spot is a highway.

Snares with deer stops would be ideal there. Natural depression/ funnel. A little bit of house cat scat and you would catch first nite most likely. Coyotes love it. There’s a fancy name for it that I can’t recall. I read it, didn’t believe it, but it’s great attractant.

The strange thing is they’re not following the cow paths that all go east/west they’re going across the hill headed north

Good spot for a couple of blind sets but make sure to use a drag. Learn from my mistakes !!

What happened ?

What happened ?

Used earth anchors. Made catches. Coyotes wouldn’t cross at that location after that.

This is an open cow pasture. Too open for drags I think

Probably gonna set about 20 yards away from the actual crossing on both sides.

Slide wires would do the same thing if you wanted to blind set

Yep, I always use drags at blind sets if possible. Those locations are invaluable to a trapper.

If you are gonna use drags try and find something to at least hook it to. Had a cat and a coyote take a drag this week about 50 yards or so from the trap bed . I had them hooked around trees so I thought . They sure are nice but I don’t like having to hunt them . Guess if your trapping with a dog it doesn’t really matter ol trapline dog will put you on em !!!

Pepper ann loves checking a trap!

You’re telling me you don’t like walking around Cussing yourself for probably losing equipment while swearing you’ll never use a drag in that scenario again? That’s normally my MO

I only use them where there is heavy brush around, like old cutovers and old logging roads. So far I haven't had one make it more than probably 25 feet.

Just to give you an idea the camera is at the L corner where the trees meet the pasture. I put a red mark there. They’re traveling from the bottom of the pic to the top
