Q&A for How to Trap a Coyote

Yes. Coyotes have an incredible sense of smell, and can smell the fear of the previous animal of that cage over the food that is being presented to lure the coyote in. They can also smell you and your scent. C lean the cage, and then conceal it with coyote urine and tasty food to lure him in.

Hunters and Naturalists advise against trapping wild animals. Coyotes are scavengers eating mostly mice, rabbits, fish, eggs, bugs, fruit, and reptiles. Relocated animals fall prey to animals already established in the new area and pups left behind starve to death. Humans attempting to move trapped animals put everyone and everything involved at risk. We can learn a lot by finding out what the coyotes are eating. Ask your neighbors. It's best to practice prevention. They may be eating something that we haven't noticed, like rats. Poisoning rodents may result in the unfortunate death of birds of prey, our pets, and sometimes even children. Sometimes the wise coyote is actually our friend.

You might get around 15 to 20 dollars, but it ultimately depends on its worth to the buyer.

If it is a wild animal, it should stay a wild animal. There is no such thing as a "friendly" coyote.

Almost all trappers rust their traps, I would leave them be. Wax and dye them and you'll be set.

No, human urine means nothing to them. I suggest trapping them, if there aren't any coyotes, there aren't any to bother you.
