Abstract: The author measured three variables of coyote-food base relationships in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, during the period July 1973 to July 1975. Field work provided estimates of relative coyote and prey abundance as well as observations on coyote feeding behavior during winter. Laboratory analysis of 1500 coyote scats revealed feeding patterns while feeding trials with captive coyotes allowed refinement on interpretation of scat analysis.
