Summer Coyote Trapping - The Management Advantage #41

Predator control is an integral part of managing your deer herd. Most land managers concentrate their trapping efforts through the winter months. The summer months are often looked upon as unproductive for trapping coyotes, but where legal, the summer months offer a great opportunity for successful trapping that is very beneficial to your deer herd.
This time of year, does have dropped their fawns and they're spending time in open areas and food plots. Coyotes, being the advantageous predators that they are, know to spend time in these areas to target young fawns. To avoid over exertion in the heat, coyotes will lay in cover near food plots and logging roads in wait for whitetails. These areas are the locations trappers need to concentrate on during the summer months. By spending time walking or driving, you can locate tracks that are sure signs of a nearby coyote.
Most of the trapping techniques used during the winter months apply during the summer, but by changing locations and baits you can increase your odds of a successful trapping set. Instead of a meat based bait that is preserved, use a bait/lure that is fresh. Casey typically uses Proline Road Runner because it will last longer when applied to the dirt holes of his sets. Rather than having to freshen a trapping set up every 2-3 days, he can leave it be for a few days longer.
The summer months only offer an opportunity for coyote trapping which helps with fawn recruitment, but doesn't solve the problem of non-target animals stealing and contaminating supplemental feed for your deer. The way to solve this issue is to utilize a feeder that is hog and coon proof. The feeders designed and sold by Steel Outdoors are constructed in this way. The legs are in the middle of the feeder to eliminate coons from being able to climb and have access to the feed spout. For larger more nimble racoons, a baffle or hinge is on the exterior of the spout to keep them from reaching around or jumping up. The height of the feeder also discourages hogs from eating and contaminating the feed as they do in trough style feeders. This design gives deer access to 100% of the supplemental feed of your choosing by eliminating competition from non-target animals and contamination.

I had to cancel cable TV almost a year ago - and the only thing I miss are the various hunting/outdoor channels. It's good to stay up to speed with videos like this. Thanks guys.

[@patrapper14]

trapping coyote is a huge part of managing deer population. I credit these guys for trapping them any time they can, all year round

[@snyper069]

As an ADC trapper this is a good video. We trap year-round no matter the weather to help our client remedy a nuisance animal issue. Good job on the vid!

[@ChaosCrewNZ]

all these people bitching and moaning about killing the coyotes if you have such a problem with it why the hell did you watch the video.

[@pixelberrry4396]

dang thats alot of female dogs.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Thanks Taylor. Hopefully they're getting people interested in trapping and they're prepared when they start.

[@grandmabarfield9252]

I love all of these videos. We need more trapping videos from you guys.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Thanks for watching! New one coming out later today!

[@jeffkraft12221960]

Yep Predator Control. We have no season on Yotes in my state. And there is a reason over populated. Good video. We that have livestock in over populated areas, Pratice Predator Control year around.

[@HawgNSonsTV2]

Yes ... you are the best on the tube! I'ma trap me some yotes for the 1st time this fall. I have the perfect spot!

[@untoldofficialyoutube8563]

HawgNSonsTV2 but why

[@PAarrowheads]

i coyote trap every year here in PA, but we r not aloud to trap in the summer. i would love to try that sometime. great job!!!!

[@bprice0612]

Wow the harshness and judgemental comments are unreal. Why do you watch if you don't approve. I know I would like to meet some of you name callers and see how brave you are not hiding behind your little keyboards.

[@tomblount5635]

Totally agree

[@ManagementAdvantage]

We're trapping during the summer months to help control predator populations that hurt fawn recruitment numbers. The furs are far from prime during this time of the year, but our goal at this time is for controlling numbers, not for furs. We do the bulk of our predator trapping and hunting during the winter months when furs are prime.

[@enderlynxwilloze7935]

Oh of course it’s because of the deer. You dumbass

[@Cayenne420]

Go pet em, they're friendly. They love to play with livestock and small pets.

[@TheBertshirt]

I am impressed, you are very sensible people who are very good at what you do, there is nothing worse than idiots being set loose in an enviroment where they have absolutely no idea as to what is going on, well done, look forward to further videos.

[@jlacson74]

Bugs Bunny approves this video.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Thanks for watching Mike!

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Thanks! Summer trapping season seem to be more of a southern thing. It's definitely a different playing field than the usual time, but with some sweat and hard work, it can be worth the effort where legal.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

It depends on the season Jake. Fresh bait works best during the summer and preserved works better during the winter months.

[@cassidyvining2975]

These videos are made very well! Nice production 👌

[@PattiiBoiiToii]

Wish I can get a few of there guys. I think tis the season.

[@regsparkes6507]

Good work you're doing there guys,...keep doing it. Thanks for showing us.

[@ChadAfricaUnite]

Thanks for the video, started today trying to get rid of some using a neighborhood as a free buffet

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Good luck this season!

[@crawdad9533]

Keep doing what your doin guys. Good luck and be safe

[@jerrystanley1026]

Balance is the key. God charged us to be stewards of His creation so let's do that with a lot of thought and planning.

[@robbiezimmerman7663]

couldn't have said it better

[@babsabroad2205]

Praise Allah, brother!

[@ya13ya03]

I look forward to every video. Keep up the hard work. Thanks guys.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Check with your state regulations on the dates for trapping season.

[@jerryboy2199]

I just found your videos. The editing and cinematography is awesome

[@jimbarta4598]

I’m new to trapping but I need to rid my land of a LOT of coyotes. I’ve managed to harvest 17 thus far in 2023 but need as much advice as possible to trap them in the upcoming summer before fawns drop. Please give me the names and manufacturers of your best summer baits and lures. Also please share with me the amounts of bait and lures I need to used for summer sets. Thanks for any help you can give me. God bless.

[@GarrettBrader]

Good job! Here in PA, we cant trap in the summer. There are barely any coyotes where I live. If at all.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Thanks Kevin!

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Thanks Jerry!

[@TheSilver3kgt]

Another great trapping video Casey!

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Thanks Thovo!

[@bgreen0115]

If you are offended by these type of videos...then why in the hell do you watch them? coyotes are a huge problem to cattle preferably calves...These guys are doing all of us a huge favor...so if you don't like the video then just move on...but don't just watch to criticize when you don't have a clue....

[@jimsmith1506]

There are millions of Coyotes. They are in no danger of going extinct

[@enriquesanchez9455]

jim smith that still doesn’t make it right for people to hunt them

[@Mattfordmilestone]

you guys do a great job.... the coyote population needs to be controlled by all means possible. you guys are great at keeping coyotes under control keep up the good work!!

[@ManagementAdvantage]

all around outdoorsmen trapper Thank you. It definitely makes a difference in deer and turkey numbers.

[@Mattfordmilestone]

ManagementAdvantage ya for sure.... we have a big problem in northeast pa with the coyote to deer population but they are very smart and hard to kill.

[@1234Molotov]

all around outdoorsmen trapper Coyotes eat rodents. Only a jackass goes around killing predators that eat rodents. Someone should put an IED under one of the animal carcasses you come to collect.

[@gillmiller3474]

Good job guys those yotes tesr the deer up. And for you tree huggers bringcyour little dog to the midwest and see how long your paris hilton pisser lasts with yotes around. I got yotes that look like wolves.

[@TheBlackTrapper]

awesome video yet again!! i do have a question though for trapping in the summer are pads better than off sets? also can you eat coyote?

[@CodyJames005]

"one at that green bush" points at and entire background of green bushes. haha

[@PikeSlayer69]

Man you got the best job.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

It'll be December. We are spending every day chasing whitetails right now.

[@FilmerOfBobcats]

All those wasted furs. It's enough to make ya cry. Just a few more months and they'd have primed up.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Get after them come winter!

[@MnFpickleball]

Great Video !

[@ryancampbellphotos]

good to see Troy

[@Jeffrich308]

Is there a market for summer coyote furs? Thanks for the video....

[@gillmiller3474]

By the way I love your show chuck on the food plots in illinois. Im rockin it in iowa.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

No we don't.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Canon

[@redirected0]

I like your videos. Thank you for not showing the shooting of the doggies.

[@Gonzo3780]

Great info...Check out a few of the Bobcat catch's on our channel my son and I caught last year here in Upper Michigan...Question for you...When you catch a Yote do you use that trap again or put a clean one there? I always put a clean one back when I catch a Yote...Is it ok to use a dirty trap from another Yote catch? Thanks...

[@chadpoe804]

Thanks for another great video hope to keep seeing more

[@dramey03]

obviously it sucks having to kill anything, but i understand the importance of these actions, i just hope all hunters and trappers use their prey as efficiently as possible utilizing as much as they can with little waste and great respect

[@TheUrbanHunterz]

People who dislike this... need to learn some history about how they got here. Pathetic

[@TheOldGunsmith58]

Urban Hunterz they also need learn about balance of wildlife populations and supporting cover and food sources. I recently talked to a man who lost 4 thoroughbred horses to coyotes do to no predator control in the area until he hired someone to come in and take some out . they removed 48 coyotes in two weeks on 20 acres that backed up to a hunting lease. so if they were that abundant there, how many were there in a five mile radius ? I wonder if these fools would have the same attitude if their cat dog or kid got chewed up by one .

[@TheUrbanHunterz]

TheOldGunsmith58 Well put and that is very sad and expensive! So many people put down their first thoughts before learning about the subject.

[@Ruben355]

Urban Hunterz its not there fould they had no choice. Poeple took them here And now there a plague ?? Well maby poeple like this man are the once that need to be hunted And hè is the one Ho,s the plague in my eyes. And dont talke about wildlife populations please dis man is destroying the population of coyotes And they might be invasive but i dont give a fuck. Poeple that think there doing the right thing by killing an animal no metter what size need to be charged. And as I told you dis man needs to be charged these poeple know Nothing about nature. And if I would See a trap like this ever. I wil destroy it And release the animal and keep searching for more. I dont think anyone has the right to fucking kill an animal for fun. And now I think its about time these poeple get what they deserve. Let me be clear I WIL NO LONGER SIT HERE AND DO NOTHING WILE ANIMALS LIKE COYETE,S ARE BEAING KILLED. I WIL NOT REST BEFORE REVENGE HAS TAKEN PLACE .

[@timchandler177]

Ruben P. it's hard to take ya serious, If a person can't even spell second grade words; how can you talk about complex subjects? You are a real dip shit.

[@dannihamilton3300]

Ruben P I'm so with you bro

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Thank you Tim!

[@tomblount5635]

Luv trapping yots!!!

[@williamtarr9758]

Awesome

[@FilmerOfBobcats]

The fifth coyote from left and the black one would have been just incredible in the winter. Why not release those and concentrate on the plain ones?

[@jerryrobbins5115]

another nice video .keep up the good job.

[@tylermusch]

I can't believe you guys do this to.... I'm just kidding, awesome and informative video... Like always.

[@Norskejente1]

The coyotes keep the mice, rats and snakes away from our house. Killing one is like kill a dog:(

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

[@DrgnTech]

I have been doing some research on coyote hunting and planning on getting into it here this season. One thing that I have not been able to find out is what is done after you catch them. Where do you sell the pelts, and what do you do with the rest of the body? I really do not want to waste anything if I can help it. Any thoughts on this?

[@kevinharnphanich7769]

Fantastic job, what more can I say. I've subscribed can't wait to se more

[@nickhenrich1813]

keep them coming

[@heatpumpworld]

interesting channel I might just subscribe.

[@woopsme]

Hunting deer like this that are fed out of boxes and managed seems so weak to me. It's like fishing out of a stocked pond.

[@f1shk1LL3R]

Kinda of what i was thinking....like wild fish dont eat pellets, wild deer shouldnt either...so is this livestock or wildlife?

[@gradychristan8582]

It’s not like live stock they are actually keeping there deer heathy on there farm and keeping track of them and actually know what deer are on there farm

[@gobigorgohomenow101]

In your state, do they allow power snare use? I guarantee if you baited and used power snares you'd be catching hundreds of coyotes.

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Trails and pinch points. Head out after a good rain and look for fresh tracks.

[@MattCoulterBass1]

Awesome video! Ignore the dumb antis they don't know a damn thing about trapping

[@jbr1074]

I suppose its better for them to get mangled on the road, to die of mange, or starvation, yes? If you spent any time in the bush, you would know that the slight distress of being caught, and dispatched swiftly is much more humane than any of those... and then there is the matter of the prey animals they eat, alive, that suffer through THAT... Please, get a grip.

[@hanshahr8627]

Very impressive!!! I live in Vermont and they're a problem around me. Awesome work!!

[@justinowen1984]

awesome vid. if you think this is cruel people wait till you witness coyotes kill deer or livestock. they eat them alive ass first. I just don't understand why so many people watch videos like this if there against it. Just to run their mouths? up in the northeast coyote trapping is very difficult. they are in abundance but are very intelligent. thanks for the vid!

[@phi376]

What is the name of the song at then end of this video? I have googled the lyrics to the point of frustration. Please help!

[@alanawebb8574]

Brian elms you are very right as much as i hate the idea of killing them it would be worse to let them overpopulate.

[@007flyguy1]

What trap do you use that you can stick your hand in and doesn't hurt??

[@johnbitzer2311]

hey there I am just starting to trap it's my frist time I have not gotten anything in my traps don't know what I am doing wrong I got about $600.00 dollar in baits and luer any tips you can tell me about it for coyote

[@ScrewMaga]

Nice video! I've never seen a black yote before. Coydog?

[@icebergslim287]

I'm kinda confused, are eliminating coyote because they want the deer to hunt or are they doing it because coyote are a nuisance to their property?

[@ManagementAdvantage]

y page Both

[@mikeamann5548]

great videos,been trying to become familiar w trapping..yr videos help bigtime..if yr ever in the milwaukee wisconsin area,id love to help ya out in any way poss..

[@antarca2741]

Can the meat be put to good use? Such as salami or stake bakes 🤤

[@GuyRanch]

What do you guys do with the summer yotes

[@enderlynxwilloze7935]

These assholes throw them in the garbage

[@ManagementAdvantage]

I bet they're pretty hard on livestock if you don't keep their numbers under control.

[@pcworld88]

525 likes and 525 dislikes, there's balance in the world after all.

[@Caseypooky]

I have a quick question. Do you have any clue as to how predator control, like this, effects the deep populations within your area? Let me explain the scenario that you have created in the simplest way possible. It may seem like the correlation between coyotes and deer is one of "less coyotes = more deer" but in reality, mass predator trappings and exterminations have the opposite effect. If you remove the top predator from the food chain, everything underneath falls apart. Sure you may see a boom in the deer populations within the first few years following the mass removal of the coyote, but soon the habitat of the deer will simply become depleted because of the overgrazing and overbrowsing being done by your new huge deer population. Once the habitat fails, your deer populations will plummet, leaving you with a large contingency of starving deer. After the deer begin to starve, they will die. The environment that they live in will be too depleted to save them, and you will actually experience lower deer populations. My suggestion to you is, actually read a fucking book on wildlife management. Especially, find one on the effects that the reintroduction of the gray wolf has had on elk populations within Yellow Stone National Park. Your way of managing deer populations is embarrassing and to be wholly honest, archaic and idiotic.

[@THEPREDATORMADNESS]

That there is so stupid! You cant eliminate the predator population just reducing it to where there is better deer numbers.. id rather see more deer then coyotes running around...

[@ErinHayesJ]

you have to kill 75% of the coyote population for 5 years in one location in order to see the population diminish by 10 %

[@buck19]

Casey Smith. trapping isn't a one sided approach. trappers are well aware of wildlife thresholds. and as stewards of the land we aim to keep this equilibrium in balance. with that said, we know having a presence of predator . is beneficial in controlling disease thru rodents, but leave predation unchecked, coyote can and will eventually bring parasites and interspersed disease like mange and rabies.

[@raygivens9437]

Casey Smith if you knew what you were talking about you would be dangerous , coyotes are invasive to my area , they have migrated from the west because of no natural predators and unchecked breeding . we control the deer by game management and legal harvest , no help needed from coyotes , the population control of deer is done solely by hunters , without that deer would starve , so the coyotes are only natural predators in the southwest . as they migrate they will be considered a neusance and adverse do deer populations and will be exterminated.

[@crawdad9533]

Casey Smith you don't so much sound like you know what you're talking about as you just sound butthurt. Look at the population of coyotes vs deer. What you're saying is correct, only to a certain extent. Your ignorance of the local population of deer

[@ManagementAdvantage]

A 22 pistol and yes they are sold.

[@MrTrapper991]

I laugh at ill informed people.

[@ThePatdaddy83]

Just to add a piece of info, you can now go to your district WFF office in Alabama and get a permit to trap raccoons and opossum out of normal trapping season as a non fur bearing animal

[@ManagementAdvantage]

Yes you can! Thanks for sharing!

[@1971weh]

How do you stop incidental trapping of wildlife such as deer ?

[@TheOldGunsmith58]

Bill Hahn as for deer the hoof design lets them pull out of a foothold trap. the same for most hooved animals such as horses and sheep. horses would have to be in an extremely large trap to even get caught in one enough to close on a hoof at all. bigger than is currently legal. traps are designed for furbearers such as bobcat coyote beaver mink weasel opossum etc. and are sized as such . current regulations where im at require me to check my traps every 24 hrs when set so no animals are going to starve to death while waiting to be released. peoples dogs are generally illegally in legal trapping areas like national forests without a leash which they aren't supposed to be . and I can very teach any one how to open a foothold trap in a matter of a few seconds. so the opinions are mostly nothing but that opinions . but thank you for being one of the few open minded enough to ask.

[@Caleb1995trapman]

nice channel man

[@ethanmartin4611]

Wow this is sad it’s like killing a dog but if they need to go then they need to go I just don’t like the traps it seems inhuman to keep an animal thare for a long time knowing it’s gunna die

[@Y10Q]

1:36 cool

[@cavinzvosec7883]

if u dont like the trapping why did u watch it there is a description for a reason

[@AshLoRo]

I cant hear anything!!. The audio is all messed up 🤔

[@MTBTrails]

At around 1:11 why did you unstake the trap? Did you switch to a newly dyed trap for scent control?

[@dextershuntingandshooting6352]

He was using a driving stake to drive in a chain... in the summer time with the ground usually really soft, stakes just don't hold a coyote for more than a few hours.

[@christinetiscione2713]

so you guys would never harm your dog but you would harm a coyote? what do you think a coyote is? beautiful dog.

[@bringenpayne9057]

It must be super hard being totally ignorant, huh? They die so more useful animals can live.

[@bringenpayne9057]

Also, they are soulless. So who cares? If you think they are pretty buy a stuffed one and stare at it!
