[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2288638, member: 91783"] Over the years I have taken some old coyote , some of which I truly have no idea of their age . I've called and snared some that didn't have any teeth left . They weren't chewing any meat or eating anything very big . Some of them I'm sure were living on bugs and mice and some of them I think were living on cow droppings as coyote pups will if you kill their parents . The coyote that I have encountered were survivors and when they had pups were willing to give their own lives to protect and insure that the pups lived . I have over the years used the fact that they will give their lives for the pups to my advantage many times to get coyote that were killing livestock to support their pups . A vast majority of the time that I had to take care of coyote killing live stock in the spring was because they had pups to feed or were old and taking small livestock because they were the easy way to live . In the fall of the year the coyote that were killing live stock were pups of the year that had moved into the area and were learning to hunt and kill for themselves still running with their siblings enjoying the chase getting into trouble , like kids do .
