Driving down a county road along a high fence when we spotted this guy. Looks like they got tired of the yotes sneaking under the fence and set a snare.


He had a couple feet of slack on my side of the fence but I dont think he knew it.

Was he caught by the leg? Curious if the old wisdom about a coyote chewing its own leg off to get away is true.

Ive seen old traps with part of the foot/leg left and no other remains. Assuming thats what they did.



I offer primarily free range hunts and also preserve hunts on 1 million acres across west and southwest Texas for native and exotic game.

He was caught right above the elbow on his front leg. Didnt look like he had been there very long though.

They will chew there leg off with jaw type traps because of the pain but never seen one do that with a snare.

I hope you at least called the neighbor to let them know.

I have neighbors that have no problems letting an animal die from dehydration in a snare - really makes me sick.

I dont know who the landowner is. All I know is I wasnt about to find myself explaining to him or a GW why I was firing shots off a county road into a high fence... hanged

I agree - was thinking this was a shared fence.
