an Eureka moment

[trappnman]

driving up to WI convention, was mulling things over concerning stall out areas. A thought occurred to me (actually a couple), that cleared things up in a way-

and that is this-

If we are talking about small attractions, ones visited by the local coyotes only for the most part (nomads of course but still local-

the stall out location, is AT the attraction.


When we are talking about large attractions, ones visited regularly by multiple family groups of coyotes-

the stall out location is NOT at the attraction point, but close by.

a thought that clarified multiple thoughts into one

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've had several people ask me questions concerning the stall out article. And as I was thinking of the best way to put it into something easily understood by newer trappers (and some older ones I suppose), I came up with this-

A coyote's territory is to his range-

as your neighborhood is compared to your city.

I very much appreciated your article, it helped clarify some of what you have been saying, specifically the information above. I still am having difficulty determining these areas, but I understand what you are saying. I do not have any big carcass or dead piles, so I am going to start experimenting with creating some attraction points where coyotes are at but not concentrating. In Andy weiser's DVD he uses a pretty good example of this.

there is an article in this months FFG about using "stink buckets" for attractions. Lot of truth in what was written
