BEWARE - NOT NICE PIC - Coyotes strike sheep

[TexasShepherdess]

Glad you got him..I am not above getting a coyote or anything thats causing trouble for my stock..but weve been lucky in the sense the dogs have detered everything,..including human "predators (theives)..
Ive kept my goats with my cattle, but saw the same issue you have..they tend to wander from each other..the dogs go with the sheep.

A suggestion for baiting coys, especially during lambing; Hang a chicken quarter from a branch about 4 feet off the ground using 60lb monofilament line and a shark hook. Set 4 or more of these traps near your sheep pens. Take precautions not to put your scent on the tree limbs, line, hook & bait. If you age your bait in the sun for a day or two the scent will draw them in more quickly.


Warn your neighbors who have dogs that you are setting coy traps on your property and that they should maintain control of their pets.
