Curious about this. I know that there's quite a difference between bush yotes and farmland yotes but how different are prairie yotes to farmland ones. Do prairie coyotes establish and defend their territory like farmland ones or do they tend to be more nomadic?

Thirty coyotes here isn't even a drop in the bucket and transient coyotes would move into that undefended territory very quickly to establish it as their own. I have read that by wiping out all of the locals you can actually have an increase in the coyote population in that area the next year with transient coyotes trying to establish the territory as their own.

If an area is undefended and there is bait there I don't understand why other coyotes wouldn't come into it.
