Coyote Pups

[MarkAlexander]

What stage would coyote pups be at now? Capable of killing sheep?

Caught two sheep killers this week. One male red-handed getting in the sheep pen and one female on the perimeter. Look to be a breeding pair. Female had three small black teats looked to be dried or drying up.

Pups are not on this property and wondering if I should go after them or not. These are exotic variety of sheep that's been killed.

oh ya, she`s got a load somewhere. probably 10-12 weeks old. maybe they can make it alone, maybe not. I bet if you go out and yip around in a few days after they get good and hungry that you can locate them easy and go get all them. I always figure you kill mama and you are obligated to kill all the pups now too, either that or raise them up. I bet they aren`t far.
