Yotes are down here most guys getting about 25% of their yearly averages that I talked too, cats seem about the same.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Same boat as Law Dog, off about 25% had to trap alot harder for the coyotes i usually get, less mange this year tho, I'm in a predator control district as well were the Ranchers in their wisdom have a gfp sponsored pilot come out and gun down all the coyotes out of the sky.... does not help

Rabbits population crash? They say no kittens then, I can see with cat prices high there will be fewer out there

My foothold catch on coyotes is about 50% what is usually is. I went to snaring this year to save my coyote season. Gotta do what ya gotta do with these crazy high coyote prices. Cats were about average but some dry females this year. The one titty bellied female I caught was let go to make kittens.


Trap hard today like there is no tomorrow.

We filled our 12 cat tags in a little over three weeks. Last year we caught 9 toms and 3 females. This year the exact opposite. No kittens in the last two years. I'm a bit concerned. Should I be? Coyotes were in pockets this year for us. But yes some areas where there have always been coyotes seemed empty. Couldn't even find sign in those areas. I'm sure low rabbits and bounty are playing a part.

We have the same thing here, no pups. I talked to a very good coyote man the other day, he normally has 100 by the middle of November this year it took him until the middle of January to get 100.
