While hunting I found where a farmer had dumped a cow carcass. There was yote crap everywhere. Buddy saw a yote grab a road killed beaver carcass Monday a.m. about 5 miles closer to town. My trapline is about 10 miles away as the crow flies.  I'd rather wolves ....let's hope that the timbers keep them in check. Somehow I think it won't happen. The spot where they are is a small valley that has the only couple of farms around. Outside of the valley it's bush. There is a mountain between my line and the valley. We'll see what I catch in the fall. |

Stef said it all!
Should have been a song written about the invasion of the coyotes and the loss of the red fox. Every country boy would have purchased a copy!

and what song would that be Robert?
that the coyotes came and ate every fox they found?
Or that the fox decvlined for OTHER reasons, and the coyotes, being a much more efficient predator, simply replaces the fox?
Fox here are starting ot ocme back...slowly.
And on what farms?
those where you don't see coyotes?
Or are the red farms the same farms that are the best coyotes farms?
In my area, the later.

musher is right in the middle of the big wood (forest) If the fox are still there in a few years... all the fox he'll be able to find will be in the logging roads because the wolves will push the coyotes out of the wood and coyotes will be around the little town. And later... maybe all the wolves you'll catch will have some coyote blood in them Good luck! Stef |

Gunny: Thanks. I actually had two cameras set at this little seep, so I got two different angles. These were both just Moultree $89 cameras. My Cuddeback got stolen two weeks ago.  Even though they are inexpensive cameras, with the right location (elevated to eliminate washout from the flask; with the sun always from behind the camera, etc.) they take a pretty good picture. Here are a few more from that same spot.    |

Cameron,
Those silver backs should look good when they prime up.
How high and how far back are you setting the camera?
Thank You.

Those cameras were both about 3 to 4 feet off the ground and about 7-10 feet from the little water hole. Most cameras will focus from 5 feet to infinity, so you don't want to be closer than 5 feet.
