@@jf5618 dogs and cats have this reflex that makes them relax when grabbed by the scruff of the neck. It’s so that when the mom carries them around in her mouth they don’t freak out.
In the mid 80s we had a coyote problem. The game and fish department offered to catch and sterilize the coyote to help the predation of sheep... our neighbor told them " they ain't fuckin my sheep their eaten them"
In the 1980’s we had a serious problem with the coyote population in Texas. TPWD was dropping poison bait blocks in areas that were not populated by large numbers of people because of the possibility of killing family pets. My home county put a bounty on them of 30 dollars per coyote turned into the AG extension agent. I made a bunch of money that year varmint hunting.
As a rancher myself, I can't condone traps. They're unethical in my opinion. In the vast majority of cases, yes, they end up harmed regardless of trap type. Even if released, there's cases where bruising to the leg effects their ability to hunt or defend. The also have cases where they're attacked in the traps, and can't defend themselves. If the person isn't diligent in checking the traps, the animal is exposed to the elements and die of dehydration/hunger. Then there's the issue of non target animals being caught, including dogs, etc. Most people shoot them while they're still in the trap, its the same reason, I don't agree with live trapping, I don't find it ethical to terrify an animal in a trap until it eventually meets its death by because somebody walks up and shoots it. Almost nobody relocates them, because it doesn't work; they're territorial animals. If they're dropped off in other territory, they can be brutally killed by rivals. As an alternative, You can either get guardian dogs that will keep them at bay, because they won't mess with large guardian dogs, or if shooting them is something that has to be done for whatever reason, then, setting up and shooting at a distance is preferable, but trapping an animal and allowing it to be stuck terrified the entire time until it's killed, as a rancher myself, I don't agree with this method. If you don't like that, too damn bad. We are the stewards of God's creatures, and they should be handled with respect. Life should be respected, not treated with cavalier attitudes.

You have no idea how much money we save buy killing them they kill chickens, cows, horses and sheep and pigs so would you rather all that die or one kayote
@@dylanrendon5097 talk to me again after you've run a 30,000 acre cattle ranch and these animals killing your money makers are one of your biggest expenses to the point where you don't turn a profit but really only work all year so you can pay the taxes. Do that and come back to me with your holier than thou attitude.
@EdwardRAZRhands Perhaps they need to be smarter than the coyote and figure a good way to protect their stock. They are already using public government lands that the BLM has cruelly trapped and sold wild horse herds for meat to the ever lovely Mexico, and Canada(!?!)... herds that have lived there for centuries... because some ranchers can't seem to tend their property properly to support their livestock....some of which are terrible on the land, such as sheep. I'm all for the coyote....too bad for poor ranching practices.
You're fighting a losing battle, just keep a few livestock guardian dogs with your herd, instead. Coyotes are opportunistic feeders, they'll look for food elsewhere Add: the way he handles that coyote is pretty badass. I think they're beautiful animals, but I'm scared of them.
The fact that he didn't kill it there and then, and had the balls to pick it up tells me this was a catch and release. It also looked like he was using a trap with padded offset jaws which really don't hurt the animal.
One realistic reply, that’s exactly what he’s doing. Why take a chance in getting bit and a deseas when he could easily kill it there. Catch and release.
They sell the live coyote to people to use to train Coyote hunting dogs Can’t sell them in every state or out of state I used to sell raccoons like this
@@tomwidler9109 I agree. They should definitely discuss only showing up while the farmer is actively hunting them. How dare these yotes galavant around?

Good for you to protect your animals from these vicious cunning thieves! I would not be as gentle as you are though when protecting my flock. Especially my ducks.
most modern traps are rubber and meant to be as painless as possible while still holding the animal. With any luck this guy was released and found a new holler to run around in.
Agreed it’s hard to look at. I would argue that life is incredibly harsh for every species. We avoid seeing it but death is constantly happening. That same coyote has gleefully hunted and killed hundreds of mice and rabbits. Perhaps the occasional chicken.
@@jordanwilson3618 You gott'a protect and feed your family, Jordan. . . I was just being humorous. Have a healthy and productive HNY for you and yours~
I have two cats, but wtf do you expect them to eat, they have to survive! That is their nature. Don’t fucking build your house and take over their land and wonder why they come around doing what they are supposed to be doing, which is finding food to stay alive!
What scares me about Coyotes is how they can sound like a woman screaming (there use to be a bounty on them in Utah because they would go after cattle & newborn calves...haven't heard if they took it down or not)
I'm too compassionate towards animals, I would try to relocate him somewhere. I understand coyotes cause major problems and they have to be dealt with but at the end of the day we're the ones that created the problem for them in the first place. Wish there was a way to get these dogos to a safe place without having to cull them.
You know your right. Same goes for a human stealing from you. They have a need. Just like anyone else. Let them be. And be kind! NOT! Cattle farmers and chicken farmers. Let owners and so on. All need these animals population controlled. That’s why they are getting more and more brazen in some cities. Coming into parks and housing suburbs to forage for pets and small children if they had a sporting chance. In this particular case this man isn’t gonna lose baby cattle or other livestock that costs him his livelihood! He can’t eat if he lets them all done on his land.
Coyotes whelp several pups at a time. I live in the country, and they have no predators. 20 years ago, I had a lot of wildlife to watch from my porch. Not anymore. No rabbits, deer, or foxes. Many people have had their pets killed. I don't believe the paw traps or anything that would torture any living creature. County Animal Control has live traps set up. Once the door is sprung, an officer comes out & replaces the live trap, and takes the coyote to animal control. I have never asked about the animal's fate. I have seen so many of my friends pets killed and mangled. I have a large dog that is an indoor pet. She goes out, does her business, and comes back in. My dog is only outside from dusk to dawn if she is with an adult family member.
Like I said. Drive it out to an isolated place where they can hunt and live as a wild animal should be. We have invaded their hunting grounds. The same happened to wolves in Yellowstone. They were almost extinct. They brought them back because it affected to natural balance. Move the coyote out to areas where they have enough to feed and not stay where people have easy prey such as pets, people, and small amount of wildlife. The destruction of the species will throw the balance off. 😟
@@jdmac1475 Guy, I can appreciate the sentiment, but you don’t really understand the nature of coyotes. Read a few books, an interesting one would be Coyote America. You couldn’t drive them far enough in any direction to not be someone else’s problem. Look at literature concerning US wildlife conservation, there are people out there dedicated to understanding healthy populations of wildlife, especially predators, and what the landscape would look like if they aren’t managed. Look up the different forms of management, it varies from state to state. I can assure you, the 5 minutes you thought about this subject from watching a video pales in comparison to years and years of research put together by people who understand and make it their life’s work.
The coyote's foot was in a steel trap! So he hauls the coyote off of his land for it to die of infection? Maybe if humans stop building and taking over woodlands, the animals would have something to hunt in. In London, deer, raccoons, foxes, and other wildlife coke into the suburbs and the city to eat whatever they can find due to urban sprawl. I thought there was more room in the states.
@@rosemarypaul6093 start with yourself. That coyote was and ill say was.. likely.. actually more than likely... dispatched away from the set so there is no blood at his set. You don't know anything about foot traps. They are the most humane trap in the world and that coyote could have been released unharmed but i bet one problem is done gone.
@@nightrider5420 Yeah if you successfully drive me out and my people. Did you forget where you live? Or has a sufficient amount of time pass to where you don't feel at all responsible for the land ur on?
What a jerk. You guys should know that he threw that coyote in his truck, drove it to my house, and let it loose without even warning me. It sh*t all over my house. ;-)
I live in Arizona I have zero love for these predators! They kill and eat peoples pets out here, I’ve seen them leap a 8 ft wall like a cat, they attack small kids too! I use to be like you all feeling sorry for them ,,,Not anymore!
@@ryantogo8359people are a species living as well, your thinking goes against itself and you can't even see the stupidity of your argument. My father, being Native American, thought of coyotes as pests for the same reason as the original commenter on this thread. People choose to live and inhabit places just as animals do. How do you not see the flaw in your comment?
Instead of hurting the natural wildlife After taking over their home. Get sheep dogs to atleast give the poor animal a chance to leave without being hurt and tortured by the scumbag human.
I hope you come back in the next life and this shit happens to you. Some big ho grabbing you by the neck and ripping you up as he tries (and fails) to remove the trap right away. All while your leg is twisted and mangled from 3 days of being trapped
These are cute animals TBH, I love wolves and coyotes, remind me of domesticated doggies, unfortunately they can be dangerous to livestock and humans as well so... Gotta do what you gotta do. We need eggs so farmers need chickens to be alive to give eggs.
@@saintsbusiness42 he definitely let him go somewhere far away. No reason to go through all this trouble instead of just shooting it if he isn’t gonna let it go
@@big.gib.4L nah that’s not how we do it, if he wanted to kill him he’d have shot him right then and there. Wouldn’t waste the energy on picking him up like that.
That might work for a few hours, days, or weeks but not years. My cousin just told me that coyotes got a couple of his calves and that hurts the profit margin for his ranch.
@@invaliduserid5807 Yeah coyotes can definitely knock a dent in the profits of any ranch. We used to shoot them any time we saw around my Grandpa's ranch.
What stupid cruel mean person uses traps like that. Glad this kind hearted guy rescued this poor coyote. Just hope his foot doesn’t get infected now and rot off. These traps need to be outlawed
This rancher, or game warden, handled this coyote properly. As you can see...once he had the coyote by the knap on the neck, the coyote went completely limp and docile. Which made it easier to remove it from the trap.
@@janebradley9364 I get that too. I raised chickens and turkeys in the land of predators, 11,000 wolves, 50,000 bears, a myriad of raptors, foxes, lynxes & the list goes on and even includes coyotes. I never lost a single animal, nor did I have to kill to keep them safe. My animals were my livelihood too. Withstanding that, I’d recommend you give it a second thought. Because there’s a scenario that would help you and it doesn’t require killing coyotes. I’m happy to explain the how to you. Consider some facts; -they hunt solitarily or with one other. -they will leave places in their territory and never return if they don’t find food OR if the food is too hard to get at. -they will defend their territory, especially if their home range is invaded by other coyotes. In other words, protect your flock/herd from coyotes (but let them live), they won’t come back and they’ll even inadvertently protect your property & animals from other coyotes. The most effective thing you can do is catch them in a live cage and release them at your property’s edge. Fire a couple shots into the ground behind them. The whole argument that “…my animals are my livelihood” doesn’t hold much weight. It’s been used before and due to it bears (black and brown), are rare to see, a herd of bison that was once a million was reduced to 15 to 20,000. Wolves were wiped out completely. You what’s ironic about that? It used to be the wolves that kept the coyotes in check. Meh, who are we kidding, we both know you won’t change even when offered a different and non-lethal option. Which leads to only one conclusion; you enjoy killing, period.
@@dougzeller4002 🧌 You must be another one of those people who sux at keeping his livestock safe so you go out & draw a 20lb dog in so you can kill it in an effort to compensate for your lack of skills.
@@obedyahujryahuah2454 yawn. I don't give a shit about ducks and rabbits. There are no cats or dogs on my land so I leave bags of dog food out. Coyotes have saved me more money than an expensive exterminator.
Once they have eliminated their food supply of small animals they will then start to kill off any other animal they can eat… cats, small dogs, chickens, lambs, etc. This is when they become a nuisance and the population needs to be reduced.
“Coyotes are the number one predator of calves in the U.S.,” says Mike Bodenchuk, state director for the Wildlife Services program in Texas. “It's not an enormous problem for the industry, but it is a financial problem. About half of all cattle predation losses are from coyotes.” If he’s on private land, that’s one thing. If that’s BLM land, he should be required to tolerate the wildlife.
Humans are the number one predator on coyotes, says Chief coyote. They continue to eliminate us and trap us , steal our land and call us invaders, we'll get our revenge in this life or the next one, he finished with a long howl.
Good job, my friend. Really appreciate the kindness you demonstrated here. To whom it may concern: Most wild and domestic animals who are born in a liter also have this weakness of going dormant when being lifted by the scruff of the neck. It predates to when, as a cub, their mom would transfer them around by the neck. I'm sure many of you have seen how a baby animal goes limp when being carried by their mom.
@@jamesmoore4856why did the coyote didn’t die! I alway’s thought it died! Though you did make some good facts? But who trapped the coyote did a great job
