    Thank you ! Yes he actually worked the set two days ago and dug at 2 of the 4 bait hole then took a dump. I left it alone and figured he was going to come back.

      Well I was done for a while
      Then I found fresh tracks yesterday evening (it rained hard Sunday night and Monday morning) so I got home today and made me 2 sets.
      Figure it is a momma looking to feed some pups chicken dinner so I made a dirt hole and about 10' away a flat set with some droppings and some urine.
      Looked like maybe 2 sets of tracks so maybe I can catch both of them

          If trap does not get them I will set up a calling session and try to whack them

              That’s funny. All you gotta do is make your set and put a foot print on it.

                I’m on day 17 trying to catch a deer killer. Early in the job I caught something that pulled out, had blood on the trap so I figured it was a coon that chewed it’s foot off. I’m starting to think it was a coyote the way they are avoiding my sets. The pair are killing deer or exotic about every third day, so the pressure is on to get them killed.

                    It’s been a grind but I set a goal to take 20 dogs off our place. I caught the locals and made up the last 6 or 7 with transients. Today was #20!!!

                        Thank you! This one right before the does start dropping fawns was a great way to finish up the 20.

                          Nice work Sharkhunter. Getting coyotes killed this Time of the year really helps the fawns. Once you kill the breeding pairs the area won’t repopulate with coyotes until the pups disperse in the late summer, by that time fawns have a good chance of survival.

                            Thank you! Thanks what I’m counting on. I just need those fawns to get their legs under them. If we lose another full crop like last year our lease is really going to take a long time to recover.

                              Something got my rooster yesterday.

                              Have not found any evidence, just went to lock the up and no rooster on roost. He never strayed far from his harem.

                              I need to work on my snaring skills

                              Most likely he was bushwhacked by a coyote
