Dispatching Coyotes

[Linvol Webb]

I shoot them in the head because when I put them up I wash all my yotes. Red fox break their neck and cats I strangle them with catch pole. Skin them on site while hot.

Here is how I do it, No blood at all.

Here is the coyote in the trap.

Here I have the catch pole on him.

Here I laid the 24" piece of 3/4" cold roll I use to hit them in the throat which kills them very quickly as it crushes there lyrnex.

Here the coyote is dead and no blood what so ever and is a very humane death.

I know some trappers who bonk them on the head with a bat and then stand on their chest to suffocate them - they cant breathe with your weight on their chest. That is a humane bloodless dispatch.

This method works great. We used a long handled garden shovel to dig our dirt hole sets and used it to thump the Coyote on the head and then stand on it. It don't take much of a whack to stun the Coyote enough so that you can stand on it. +1 works great on coons and fox!

A coyote can and will survive with a conibear on its neck, I found out the hard way, well long enough to go 15-20 miles. I usually heel the chest, or 22 them

same way ridge runner does it

If you heel them, it is better to sharply heel them, not just stand on it.

Careful, I trap out of a jeep grand cherokee. Last year I put the old ax handle between the eyes of a lg. male but was running out of time to remake the set I had to be at work on time so I left him. Came back on the way home to pick up my dead coyote only to find him live and pissed off. If I had just wacked him and put him in the jeep he would have done really bad things to inside of my suv.

You need to get yourself a pickup
