One of the recurring characters at Younger Lagoon Reserve is a character dubbed “Don Coyote” by Jake. This coyote is easily recognized with his ragged, mangy appearance, especially on the tail.
Don made an appearance in the Bushnell marsh set 005. The results from that set were promising, so we didn’t want to leave the marsh. Bobcat prints o’plenty were seen about 50 feet from set 005, thus a decision was made to move the cam to this area. It was placed in a tree looking down at an angle at the print-laden path.
Two days in Don gave his greetings, stopping at a fallen branch doused in Fox Frenzy.

What lies in the future for the remarkable Don Coyote? I am guessing biting and peeing, but perhaps this canine will entertain us with even greater wonders!
Bonus goodness: Upon leaving, we observed a Bobcat cruising through the mustard fields outside the reserve!
Nice!
ReplyDeleteI've also had good luck with Fox Frenzy on the 'yotes!
Like the pics of the two cats playing...
I really liked how the angle turned out on this set. We should try it again when things dry up a bit. It will be baby raccoon season soon too.
