I planted a plumeria this weekend in the front yard. This morning the plant was uprooted and on its side. I blamed it on the gofers as we have a lot where we live. So I checked the camera to see the gofer in action and then this happened ..... [emoji15][emoji15]

Might want to get rid of that cob web, or it will keep triggering the cameras

Looks like your coyote wants to make friends with your gopher.

They do the same to our house, I think they are ofter the moisture from the sprinkler heads. I have seen them drinking from our sprinkler heads when they are on and bubbling.

Looks to me like the Coyote just outed you ;):eek::D

In Malaysia and Indonesia, plumerias have come to be associated with death, because they are often planted in Muslim cemeteries.

This coyote is freelancing for a rival gopher gang. Makes you think the gopher in this territory is killing your plants making you want to take him out, but the spy cam caught him red handed and foiled their plan. Very Godfatheresqe.

So let me see if I got this straight.

You moved to get into a better neighborhood/school district.

Now you have a gang (of gophers and free-lance yotes) running wild in yore new neighborhood. :p

Essentially you are living in an episode of Marvin Perkins Wild Kingdom.

Sound about right?

Looks like maybe you used some Superthrive or something to help with transplant shock, that kind of stuff has bone meal and fish emulsion in it usually, attracts em like flies ;)

Hire the kid to keep em off your lawn, $10 an ear is what I used to get in Colo as a kid.....:D

I was thinking the same thing OR maybe the plumaria give a smell that attracts them. It sure is weird that he dug it up.

Shinto I have some Coyote urine I bought to harass the rats eating our tomatoes. You are welcome to give it try to see if it came from a rival pack. :D
