Monster coyote track

[Folly's place]

In the country, electric fencing is practical and will help. So far, no cross bred coyotes, wolves, or bears here. I'm not sorry.

Killed one in December that went about 50 pounds. I will try and post a photo.

In 2017 a deer hunter on my property shot a 53 # female coyote. She was recovering from mange and was not in peak condition. I would guess that in peak condition she would be near 60 #. Her feet were no where near as large as the animal that made the prints posted by the OP. Understand that I am one of those 'crazy Northerns' to whom Centrarchid referred.

It will be interesting what your game camera will show. I have several on my property and I get pictures on one of my cameras of a predator, usually a coyote or fox.
Here is a coyote caught on one of the cameras a couple of nights ago.

I have electric wire around all of my coops and pens because of a bobcat, concrete under the gates because of a fox and heavy duty netting covering all of my pens because of an owl.

There are a couple of Great Pyrenees that I see on the cameras now and then on my property. I don't know who they belong to.

There is something called a coyote roller.... fence that works for both canines and Felines
You can buy them for bucks... but you can make them as well out of PVC>

An overhang also confuses climbers and jumpers.... The zoo uses those to keep the animals in... some that can jump Very high. They cant judge the distance.

I got 3 GSDs--they are good deterrants for raccoons, oppossuns, skunks, etc. I would never put them up against coyotes. Right now it's mating season and food is scarce. They are meaner and hungry. As big as my dogs are they are supervised when outside. I try to go ecerything possible to make sure all animals are protected.

Coyotes are good for sending one in, dog chases and the rest of the pack are waiting to make the kill. A large dog is a meal for them.
