Laurie, I ranch in western MT and my wife keeps a flock
of sheep and goats. Predator control is my end of the deal,
I have decades of experience.....

You can find different urine's at trapping supply companys.
I doubt it will be effective. If it were I'd be using it instead
of hunting/trapping, feeding guard animals ect.

I also live in wolf country, but I don't deal with endangered,
protected species, that's a felony..SSS

For our operation we employ a layered system, electric fencing---very
effective and equally expensive.

I also use night pens and guard animals. In combination
we have nearly zero predator losses. Montana weather
has killed more of our stock than coyotes, but bigger flocks
that utilize larger area have bigger problems and coyotes
are the #1 problem to them.

Use coyote urine. Available at feed stores and some hunting supply
stores. Spray the area like a coyote would and mark your territory. If
wolf urine is available use that instead.


OK. I'll assume for the moment the above is serious (I expect it would work
alright but can I actually call a feed or hunting supply store and order
coyote (or wolf) urine w/o being laughed at??). One question that comes to
mind is where and how the heck do they collect it (or is it some form of
artificial product)? If such stuff is available, I will try it and, thanks
for the suggestion.

BTW Hawke, thanks for restoring my faith in humanity a little - I was
beginning to think I was the only one who objected to the outrageous crap
that floated to the surface of this thread.
