anyone seen apples attract coyotes?

[Matt Green]

Have couple of game cameras out for several months. corn and mineral salt nearby and seeing several deer.  2wks ago I picked up apples off the ground below a tree in my parents yard.  this time several pics of coyotes nosing around the apples.  

anybody else seen similar?  I  don't want to do anyting to attract those - my space to hunt is very small.

Yep. They love them. Look thru the trail cam threads. I've posted a few pics of them over the years.

I have seen coyotes jumping for fruit and berries all four feet in the air at the same time. Looks hilarious!

Lots of picks over the years of them stealing apples and pears on our cams. If I can find it I have a pick of a coyote a couple coons some deer and turkeys all together feeding at the same time on apples. Pretty cool picks!!!

Caught a pup eating on fallen crab apples in the yard a few years back.

I've seen apple skins in coyote and fox scat lots of times. Guess I have strange hobbies. TonyZ.

Never on apples but I watched two eat every fallen peach under two peach trees I actually think they were getting loopy on the fermented fruits

Ron W said it....they will eat anything.

They are opportunistic omnivores just the same as we are.

Yep, I watch them eating apples out back all the time.
Heck, I never see any deer eating my apples, just the coyotes..!

Yup, where I work there is a coyote that comes around at night.  On a whim I threw him a piece of apple and a core and he gobbled them right up.  Coyotes are survivors, they'll eat whatever it takes to stay alive.

That's one reason I hunt nut and fruit orchards. They love fruit and the rodents that they draw.
