I think it's because their minds are not on food. But rather making little foxes .BTW all male. "Life's tough,pilgrim,and it's even tougher if you're stupid ."

Trapstickman does also as he demonstrates your method of dispatching the ornery critters. I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

They have a tendency to chew on anything in front of them when caught. Same with coon. I can't remember ever having a coon chew on a caught hind foot. Only had one hind foot catch last season and it was a female coyote. The forum Know It All according to Muskrat

This last year I had 4 back foot coyotes. 3 on a new lure I used. Makes me wonder if the new lure was causing a urinating response instead of the coyote try to dig it up to eat or roll on..??

What's your method of targeting the back foot? Sorry to take So long to respond. Here is my normal wolverine foothold setup. Get the bait high enough to force them to stand but not high enough to make them climb. This way, only their back feet are on the ground. Result: Mean As Nails
