Racoons are a big problem. We are overrun with them primarily because nobody is trapping and coon dog guys are fewer. It is tough to stimulate interest when fur prices are so low. Most fur buyers will not even buy a coon unless it is a spectacular example. A recent fur auction had coons average $1.83.
This past summer my sister in law was working in the garage with the door open. A coon entered and attacked her inflicting wounds to her lower leg before she managed to hit it on the head with a hammer. Tested positive for rabies and she had to get the shot routine along with stitches. The results of runaway wildlife populations. |

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... |

New snow last night and a new set of coyote tracks close to the house. Rifle and shells are at the ready by the door. If he shows himself and gives me 30 seconds to get outside he is in trouble.

My contribution to good coyote:
![]() This one was crossing the dam on our lake. Amazing what a .270 with the right bullet can do at 110 yards. We have way too many here in Southernmost IL. Our fur never gets good so no one really wants to spend the time trapping. Its basically shoot on site and yea, we use electronic callers. They destroy deer populations and yes, they will kill adult deer, eat your small dogs and cats and can be a bit aggressive to humans and will kill larger dogs if in a pack of three or more. Blew one off one of my setters several years ago. Dog came running back to me whining but did not see me and past me. Yote was about 15 yards behind dog. Yote met with a load of 8's to the head at 5 yards. Done deal.
