Removing a Coyote from a Trap with a Catch Pole

In this encounter, a large male Mississippi coyote was safely removed from an MB550 trap using a catch pole. With steady hands and careful handling, the animal was restrained just enough to ensure both human and coyote remained unharmed during the process. The goal was not to harm but to relocate, showing how proper technique and respect for wildlife can make all the difference.

Once secured, the coyote was transferred into a transport cage for safe movement. Moments like these highlight the importance of responsible trapping practices and humane animal management. Far from being a story of destruction, this was a story of care—proof that even in tense situations, compassion and skill can guide the outcome.
