Had one hog yesterday

This rain is really killing it for me. Soon as it dries out next week ill be hammering them

We so dang wet - it be at least 4-5 days before i can

Doc,

You can catch coyotes. Problem is that you need the right gear (trapping hammer, sifter, lure, traps, anchors, etc.) I think I remember seeing some starter sets on some trapping supply websites. Get an auger bit that fits a cordless drill to make the dirt holes. Watch a video on how to night latch your traps and do that. K9 Extremes are already coated and don't need boiling and waxing. Plenty of online videos on making dirt hole sets. Look for road intersections with coyote tracks and set on these types of locations. CNC hit the nail on the head for coyote traps - learn how to bed the trap solid so that it does not rock if the edge is stepped on. I found my coyote catch rate went up when I put a a good spoonful of Pedigree dog food in the bottom of the dirt hole (not the chunky gravy type but the potted meat looking type) and the bait and lure on top of that. It is addicting. Good luck. I will be glad to come down in early April and go around very early in the morning and help you check the traps.

Hard to make sets in a mud hole
Half my DP’s were under water this morning
I’m pulling all traps tomorrow

Two coyotes this morning
All traps have been pulled

Set 4 DPs and 2 dirt hole - now i see more dang rain coming sat night - may step in tomorrow - place be too wet to ride on

What kind of tool do you guys use to pull your traps?

^^^
Dont hav one but others here prob do. My back 😀

First day got blanked and stepped in traps. 7 day shows no rain till wednesday but the 24 hour shows 100% tonight

I use chain on my anchors with a quick link to my trap chain
When I pull my traps I just use the quick link and leave my anchors and when next season comes I’ll hook up to them and remake my sets

Put 6dps out - we will see

Got 4 beavers on my Jackson county run Friday. I Got to go up in Paint rock valley on county road 4. I forgot how beautiful that place is. Fixing to dig out all my coon traps and set them behind the house

1 baby coon

Got 6 dp out and put 3 dirt hole sets

I had 1 fox and 1 coon Saturday morning.

I'm so sick of being in this machine shop. I'm pissed I didn't just load all my gear up and go just for a piece of mind this morning. I think tracking deer makes me go feral for a few months. Takes awhile to get back civilized 🤣

Picked up a male by the house

5 coons Sunday night and 2 last night.

Here's the other 2.

Nice work guys !!

Semi frustrated - we got a flood coming again - i stepped in All my traps again. Hard to catch setting for 1-2 day stretches! May hang it up for a while - rain prob. Ain't stopping

Finally gonna set my traps today. Hopefully will get 8 out. May be a bit of a challenge finding dry dirt
