Just some information concerning scavengers not eating Coyotes. I am guessing that it probably depends what part of the country you live in. My experience here in AZ is they are eaten just as readily as a deer or rabbit.
I spoke to my brother this evening as he traps Coyotes for a number of ranchers. I asked what his experience was as far as coyote carcass’s. It is not unusual for him to catch 5 or 6 in a week. He stated that most Coyotes are reduced to bones in 2 days.
He added you would think that nothing would eat a skunk but they are cleaned up just a quickly. He added that ravens seem to particularly like Coyotes.
I am guessing that here in AZ we don’t have the abundance of deer that other states have and so our scavengers take what is available...
