coons don't chew above the jaws only below where they don't have circulation. So they are not chewing out. They twist out. This is completely preventable with proper equipment and sets. You need laminated trap jaws that don't caught off circulation. Proper swiveling in the chain and check early.

I run laminated and swivels and I've still seen coons chewing on their foot, so this is not true unfortunately

It's amazing they'll chew their own foot off to get out of there. I had one do that this year. Was caught for about 4 hours and it chewed enough of it's leg to get out.

Yep, it's so important to have a camera out so you can get to the traps right away because I've had this happened

This hurts

I had 2 coons do this to me in January

Heartbreaking

I definitely don't want an animal out there in the woods, bleeding or hurt. I'd rather have him so that really hurts to see that from both sides you know obviously it's a trap. Rip sucks but then for the animal.

Honestly didn't hurt my feelings at all, I am not big on caring about how humane kills are on coons or coyotes ir possums. The way it was bleeding, sure it died or was quickly found by the coyote that was in the area.

That is a hypothetical study. Not conclusive to natural predation on humans. Now rabid dogs are another story. A well placed pinky to the left eye of a cat or coyote will stop a 100 ld one though
 
On the yote sets, how do you keep deer and turkeys outta them?
I've got some places that Zi get yote on camera but ger deer and turkeys too.

Deer mess with mine all the time. The thing that's helped me the most is blending in my set with the surroundings. I get more trips from deer when I use peat moss and don't blend it.

On Tuesday, April 1, 2026 (some reports reference March 31 or early April depending on timing), a 4-year-old boy named Solomon was attacked by a coyote in the driveway of his grandparents' home in Carson, California (Los Angeles County area).

The incident happened in broad daylight around 8:50 a.m. while the boy's mother was unloading supplies from her vehicle nearby. Surveillance camera footage captured the attack: the coyote approached from behind, pounced on the child (who was standing and possibly playing with a stick), knocked him to the ground, bit him multiple times (on the leg, torso, and possibly attempting to drag him), and then fled.

Solomon suffered several puncture wounds (reports mention around seven, described as superficial or non-life-threatening) to his torso and leg. He was taken to the hospital, treated with antibiotics, and given rabies shots as a precaution. He is expected to recover fully and was not seriously injured.

Coyote's Background and Capture

California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) officials responded quickly. They captured the coyote and humanely euthanized it after DNA testing confirmed it was a "repeat offender." The same animal had previously attacked another young child in the Carson area in February 2026.

Some reports indicate it may have been linked to additional incidents involving young children in the area since late March, including a separate bite on a 3-year-old boy (Levi Martinez) in a parking lot at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson on or around March 30–31. Authorities used DNA to connect the attacks.

This is not the first coyote incident in Carson; there have been prior reports of coyotes approaching or biting children in the area in recent years.

While it isnt common i stand by my statement. Hunger does strange things to coyotes and it is California.
You know land that is being lost to urban sprawl and habitat that does not sustain prey for them. Does this mean humans are a food source absolutely not if that was the case every kid in California or and metropolis is in trouble
