We haven't hung the carcasses on the fence in about 40 years. It turned into too much extra work, besides the smell can get pretty bad and there is no point on it.

Never heard of hanging just the tails, but have seen plenty of yotes hanging from fences. The trapper at our place still does it. same here, we still see the whole carcass hanging, never just a tail

I agree with Slow Drifter and QuitShootingYoungBucks. Never seen the tails but lots of coyote carcasses hanging from fence posts. This practice was abandoned when we decided that we might offend some anti-hunting traveler. Adios, Gary

An elder relative of mine told me that sometimes ranchers paid bounties for shooting coyotes on their property and this was just the way the bounty was collected. Not sure if that has anything to do with the practice anymore. I doubt they are much of a deterrent. I worked for a turkey farm as a kid killing coyotes. Fletcher Farms. Old man Fletcher paid me $.50 a piece and let me use one of the farm trucks with a spotlight and kept me in 22WMR ammo. I'd hang them on the fence by the main gate. He'd count them when he came in. After he paid me the hands threw them in their incinerator. I was in there getting paid one morning when some women came in and asked him if he was the one killing all the coyotes. He grinned and said, "No ma'am, but that boy's doing a helluva' job at it." He offered to fire me if they'd pay him $10 for every hen and $15 for every tom the coyotes killed. The woman said, "Oh, we can't do that!" Mr. Fletcher handed me a box of ammo and said, "Keep killin'em boy."

I remember as a kid in the early 90s going to my grandparents house in prosper. If we took the dirt road by Mayhard they usually had them hanging on the fence.

In the early 2000's there were always a lot out by where we hunted in Jack County.
