Hints on Wolf and Coyote Trapping

A practical field guide for controlling coyotes and wolves that explains their range, how they damage livestock and carry diseases, and why reduction is necessary. It describes predator behavior—scent posts, runways, and cautious senses—and outlines trapping strategy: selecting appropriate steel traps, locating and preparing scent stations, concealing and bedding sets, and using baiting and tracking to increase success. The text emphasizes working around the animals' acute smell, hearing, and sight through careful site choice, clean equipment, and repeated experimentation, and it notes safety and conservation considerations when removing destructive predators from agricultural and game areas.
