Just prepared a nice little Christmas gift for the local coyotes. Set a bunch of snares this afternoon. Anxious to see if I get something this weekend.
Will set a few more tomorrow.

Cool steiny, I caught 6 yotes so far this year. They should start running more since it is getting colder I caught 3 in the last week.

Strung up another tonight !
Nice female. She won't be having pups this spring to eat my bunnies, quail and fawns.
This is starting to get fun.

I got two today, one male and one female. That is 3 for this week and I didnt start setting until Sunday. Ive got 6 sets out now and play to keep increasing as time goes on. I saw plenty of fresh tracks in the snow today. It seems Ive got more yotes that I thought. h.h.

Just spanked another this afternoon. Called him in with the rabbit squaller and shot him with the .222 at about 150 yards.

One of you snare guys do a tutorial if you have the time. It's been years since I trap and have never used snares. Would like to do a yote reduction too.

Here is a good article on setting snares. Make sure you read it end to end. Ive been using the leaning pole on deer trails or sets where I think deer might use. If you want to make the snare deer proof use a clamp on stop 3-4" from the end. h.h. www.michigan.gov/documents/THEBOOK12_05_144690_7.pdf |
