I stuck an egg out in front of the trailcam. It lasted almost a month. I worried later that maybe I'd give something a taste for turkey eggs, but since practically everything eats em anyway, I don't think I hurt anything.

THE coyote was sure wary of the camera.
The possum not getting it surprised me. They are known nest robbers
Neat video.

Was this on the eagle hollow property? I think I recognize that dog. Yeah, you ought to if you are within 500 miles of the place.  The stupid thing runs around all hours of the day and night. The day I put the egg out the beast came running through the pasture, took a left and ran through a strip of reclaimed pasture, (one of the best areas to hold deer). 30 seconds later a doe came bounding out and across the field. This has been going on for about two years. This last year we saw a record drop in deer sightings. Whenever I mention it I get folks that tell me dogs don't bother deer, but if the brainless creature runs his usual route ( nearly the entire flat part of the place, and often some of the steep) during the early afternoon like he did that day, and then the owner or I arrive at three to go to our stand, that deer he ran off isn't gonna be there, is it? I cannot see deer not becoming weary of his harassment. It belongs to a guy right across the road. Nice guy, but I HATE that slobbering buffoon of a dog. |

Anyone that thinks dogs don't bother deer is probably not too wise. I used to hunt a farm that was owned by two ladies. They had new homes on the edge of the property and their elderly mother lived in the original farm house. I would bring them some homemade wine and cider a few times a year and they gave me sole hunting rights. I shot multiple deer there every year. Grandma passed and her grandson moved into the farm house, along with three dogs. I NEVER saw a deer there again. The dogs walked through the woods almost every time I was trying to hunt. I decided that not hunting there anymore was a better decision than shooting the dogs. |

I thought that he lived just around the corner second house on the left with the pole barn full of cars. I didn’t see a single deer over there this last year.

I had a trailcam watching a trail that typically sees good activity last year. Coons and possums but not one deer pic in 20+ days. No poop or tracks either, and acorns everywhere. He ( the dog ) resides on the "ranch" that you see on your right if you came up EH. There is a guy over in the vicinity of where you are talking ( if I'm reading you right ) that raised squirrel dogs. One of his ended up following me back to the truck after blowing a hunt a few years back. |

We hit golf balls into a field and the woods beyond it. We pick them up while shed hunting. A lot of them have been chewed up and have teeth marks all over them. I believe its coyotes, coons, and possums thinking they are turkey eggs. I might drop a nest of golf balls in front of my trail camera and see what happens.

Put one real egg in the center of them. See which one they grab first. |

I think the eggs didn't have much smell, which is why they lasted until the coyote, being smarter, recognized it's shape. One egg I put out on the ground stayed forever as well. |
