Went to check cameras today on my property in southern Indiana (northern Clark Co) that had been hanging since mid-August. I found two cameras with chewed-on straps, and a third with a chewed-on strap that was missing its motion sensor. All three cameras were no-glo StealthCams (G42NG and G45NG).
Checked the card in the camera with the missing motion sensor and guess what I find?
These three young coyotes evidently decided eating fawns wasn't enough, they were gonna eat $100 trail cameras too. Here's the best pic of them, but they were on the other two cameras with chewed-on straps as well.
We've had this property for over 8 years with between 6-10 cameras up at any time, and this has NEVER happened. Now its three cameras fussed with in a one-week period (early Oct) by the same group of bored-ass juvenile deliquent yotes.
Anybody experienced this before from coyotes?
I hope to introduce them to Mr. NAP Spitfire or Mr. 108gr Elite Hunter if they come across me in stand in the coming month.
