    TRAPPING SEASON Thread 2017-2018

    Trapping season is upon us once again.

    It's time to knock the rust off those traps and get some steel in the ground.

    Post up your catches, sets, strategies, and anything else trapping related.



    This fall I had the opportunity to do a little early season coyote trapping.

    The first three days produced fourteen coyotes.




    One of three doubles on the first morning’s check with 14 sets.

      I've always thought the look on a yotes face when caught in a trap was: " ****, I hate that you had to see me like this ".

      As opposed to a bobcat which says: " Just make one slip-up and I'll rake your *** up one side and down the other ".

                TUCO, how do you set your traps?

                Honestly mine are still sitting out since last year. I will pop them a few times and then set them. I always use domestic dog droppings as the bait. I sometimes put a little female coyote in heat scent on a stick next to the droppings.

                I have never done the dirt hole. My land is pretty flat and I don't have any humps to dig a hole into.

                  Spot on.

                  Tuco, sounds like you've been putting in the work. Congrats on thinning out the fawn killers. I've done a little calling and killed one. That will ramp up for the rest of the season.
