Aren't there any areas on private land that would act as some sort of sanctuary or is every piece of land pretty much fair game? Last year with the El Nino I noticed that the coyotes were reluctant to move out of their territory into a new undefended one but I just figured that there was plenty of food where they were and there was no reason to. When a baitsite stopped producing it never really started producing again. This year it's back to normal. I took out 15 to 20 coyotes off my first baitsite before it went cold a couple of weeks ago. I stopped baiting it but there were plenty of bones and rib cages left there. Yesterday I checked and it looked like an entire pack had visited with bones scattered everywhere in the bush.
