For you folks more experienced than I am, is there usually a reason for the sexes to be way off balance like that? It's also been the best season I've ever had as the most I've ever caught off this place before this year was 4. I'm trying to broaden my understanding of the coyotes themselves. Thanks!

They balance out if you keep at it. Can't tell you why that is, tho! YOU CAN IGNORE REALITY, BUT YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING REALITY. http://www.lptraplinesupply.com

Believe me, when you get a hundred or more out of an area, they balance out much closer!

Believe me, when you get a hundred or more out of an area, they balance out much closer!) On the 300 acre farm I trap in the past 5 years I have taken 30+ coyotes off of there and I would say the average is about 80% females. I thought it would nock them back in this area but really I think there are more now what there was 5 yrs ago. This is hard country to trap a lot of bog and private land that you cannot get into. Most of the coyotes taken are after freeze up with cables. Some years most of the ones that were caught had mange telling me they are a little over populated. I like my deer and this is the biggest reason I go after them.
