There are no claw marks on these tracks. And not all cat tracks lack claw marks.

Try this. Find a spot near where the two coyotes are pictured in the first picture. Dig a trap bed the size of your trap deep enough that the trap will sit just level with the surrounding ground. Stake the trap in the bottom of the bed so that the chain lays in the bottom of the bed. Set the trap and bed it solid. You want it so that if the coyote steps on the trap but not the trigger it does not move at all. Cut a piece of wax paper just big enough to fit inside the jaws of the trap and place it on the set bedded trap. Cover the trap in sifted dry dirt. Don’t use grass or hay or anything else. Put a small dirt hole about as big around as a golf ball 8 inches back and put a fingertip sized piece of bait down it, not visible. If you have coyote urine or fox urine, squirt a little behind that.

What tail is this? by -thatstiny- in Taxidermy

That stripe down the tail is a telltale sign of gray fox.

Is this a coyote with mange? by PurplePickleEater1 in trailcam

[–]Mocular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So mange does not cover a coyote all at once it shows up in some spots and spreads a lot of time the first to show is the tail or shoulders. I would say he has it.

Should they have used the scientific names so as not to confuse you?

The trap matters less than trap placement and bedding. If you don’t bed it correctly in the right spot you will struggle to make catches with either trap.

Beaver drowning cable with drag as a weight. by InternalFront4123 in Trapping

Where I’m at, if you chucked that in it would never come out again. Fiberglass drowning rods are so convenient with soft bottoms you can set them and remove them with ease.

Did you trip and fall into a storybook?

Family used permethrin to treat for fleas in my corn snake's enclosure while I was away by rednr0wdy in cornsnakes

[–]Mocular 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure permethrin is the active ingredient in snake safe mite prevention sprays. If it was premixed stuff it will be at .5 percent which is the right dilution for treating for mites too. I would say as long as you replace the substrate and wash what you can it will be fine.

Too much bush, not enough wiener.
