Great read.
What part of McCormick Co.?
Very interesting. Never would have imagined that they would travel that far.
As for releasing an animal you catch, the Judas technique for killing animals is pure genius and sadistic at the same thing. I like it. Not the same thing you are doing, but it's pretty close.
Of all the things I've done and been involved in, I had never heard of this until I did the Google on what you posted...Very interesting...Actually the way I'm going back through the coyote data we've gathered had led me to go back to the "Core Areas" that the GPS locator said the coyote spent the majority of their "Home" time in, and saturate it with traps...It works.
Thanks for sharing that....

If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
Missing you my great friend.
Unfortunately it's not...I do, however, have a link to the thesis that was done concerning the study...It was done by a
female graduate student from UGA...It's many pages long and contains lots of metric data, but interesting non the less...I have no clue how to link it to this website, if somebody smarter than me could help me link it to here I have permission from the author to share it.
I thought I read somewhere that the coyotes DNR caught and released were sterilized. Is that the case here?
I think that was true on the coyotes that were released for the Lifetime License if you harvest an ear tagged one, or maybe they were at least vaccinated...I wasn't involved with that one.
The studies done with the GPS collars were done by releasing the coyote back as natural as possible so as not to interfere with the normal process of life so the data would be as actual as possible...Same ol' nasty, flea-bitten, ticked up, smelly coyote turned loose.
Very interesting. This Edgefield to Walterboro individual may have dispersed because it was a subadult male.
But what I'm reading is that there is no consistency in ages and genders as far as those that do disperse long distances?
The missing lower jaw? There is a surgical procedure called a hemimandibulectomy where the veterinary surgeon removes half of the lower jaw. In real life, I've seen a bullet accomplish the same on dog patients. These animals have an amazing capacity for healing.
Hunting outside the box
Along the same lines, the city of Laurens brought in a trapper last year because of so many complaints of death or injury to pets. In a very short period of time he trapped 14 coyotes, 4 raccoons, a fox or two and one housecat within city limits.
But from my understanding of coyote biology, this will only make them breed faster and better.
