I put a few coyote sets a couple days ago and today will be the first check. I set on a ton of sign. I am hoping to have one caught.

Tomorrow me and my boys are going to set some cat traps in the area too. My dad caught a couple coyotes and a big tom bobber on his snare line this last week and its got my boy fired up to go catch his own bobcat.

Thanks! We had a little luck.

I got to introduce a kid to trapping this afternoon. My boys buddy came along and got to see a coyote and also helped put a couple more sets in. Good times!

I have some coyotes back behind the house I want to trap. Can someone recommend a bait/lure to use. The list out there is overwhelming for a newbie. PM’s welcome!
My favorite bait is Cavens Hiawatha Valley and my favorite lure is Dobbins Dig’r… another good coyote lure is Cavens Yodel Dog. Tons of other great lure options but pretty much any coyote gland lure or canine lure will work.

You can use food type baits or urine and gland bait. I sometimes make sets with both and other times use just lures. I like variety. Can check out Hoosier Trapping Supply. Great service.

Caught this nice male coyote today on a pond dike snare. I set on a heavily used run going through some tall weeds down to the water’s edge. Set hadn’t seen any action for a couple weeks until pond thawed out.

We caught a couple of these set wreckers this last week. We usually don't catch many of these where we usually trap so my boys thought they were cool. These two are skinned to be tanned and hung on the wall.

They really leave a crime scene! We've had them dig a hole right next to the stake and be completely underground when we checked them. Not fun getting them out for a finishing shot.
