Following is what the day (12-08-07) held for myself, and my good friend Greg. Both are Male Yotes. This is Gregs' first year to trap ... therefore he is learning. And in learning ... he is a very good student. I will detail the pictures as they are posted. We got 2 more coyote today.
This is me & the 1st of the day.
This is Greg and the 1st yote of the day. Part of any handling of wildlife, is knowing proper handling techniques to keep from causing undue harm to the animal, or yourself.
This is the set where the 1st yote was taken. These next three pictures are of the set remake that Greg made for the first time. I think he did a pretty good job.
After coyote was removed. Severe Trap Circle.
Set remake
Remake blended to surroundings.
The first Coyote has first stage signs of Sarcoptic Mange on the tips of its ears. This is the only yote of 6 I have taken so far with signs of mange.
Me & the 2nd Yote of the day.
Greg & the 2nd Yote
For New Trappers Youngsters: Yotes are dangerous and fast, make no mistake about it or you will get injured for sure. The next two pictures were taken at a speed shutter setting, about 1 second apart. Notice the position between the first and second pictures. It only took Greg a single step toward the yote for him to turn around that fast.
I hope yall enjoyed ... I know Greg and I did.
