Worth a try!
I'm come from a family of sheep producers. So, its no surprise that we have tremendous trouble with coyotes throughout the year. While away at school, my uncle informed me that a government trapper had visited to try and thin out the coyote population. The trapper hadn't left our farm for more than 30 minutes when he returned with two coyotes, one male and one female. Here's where it gets interesting. After calling for a while the trapper noticed the two yotes headed his way. However, they hung up just out of range and refused to come any closer. So, he released a small terrier that took off in the yote's general direction. Upon doing so, the female yote immediately headed towards the little dog. After shooting her, the trapper then released a larger hound who then raced towards the downed female. This must have hit a chord with the male yote because he too raced towards the dog only to fall to the same fate. Has anyone else heard of hunting being done this way? I've heard of greyhounds being used to chase coyotes down, but I've never heard of dogs being used to lure coyotes in.
