One can tell right away if they caught a Alpha male and or female in a trap or the Bravo or Charley...The Bravo and the Charley cower.....Not the Alpha's!!!!!
I went to one of the Penn Game Commission meeting once.. They had the state trapper get up and talk about Alpha, Bravo, and Charley pecking order..
He explained how he would dispatch a coyote.. He would walk his hand up the back of the coyote while it was in the trap until he got to the neck and then you know what happens here with his hands.. Now you can only do this for the Bravo and the Charleys.. You walk your hands up the back of an Alpha male and female your going to get bit!!!!!!
