Boarhead's Coyote and other critter's snaring.2015-2016

[Boarhead]

Jamie the new snares are very shiney and yotes see and avoid them.
You can just boil them in baking soda to take the shine off but i have found they blend in better dyed and i noticed my catches go up after dying them.JMO
And hey,i dont see anything wrong with a well furred beaver.lol

 

[Boarhead]

Got out today and looked around for yote sign,saw quite a few tracks and some trails i will set on when i get started.
But man i saw a ton of deer sign,some nice rubs and lots of old scraes and some recently opened up.
Was such a nice day out to take a little hike.
Pulled a cam card i havn't checked in awhile and had some nice pics also.

 

[Boarhead]

This is the big farm i will set snares on after i hit the the other farm,Got a pic of a nice looking 8 point also.

It's probably no accident that the farms you snare on are producing nice bucks.

It's probably no accident that the farms you snare on are producing nice bucks.

I do know the fawn survival rate has gone way up the last 3 yrs.

Wow some great deer sign and the bucks are dandies! Good to see they survived the lead slinging!

 

[Bigslam51]

Both those bucks are dandies, but I like that big 8 point!

Probably rats in that pond to brian

 

[Boarhead]

Yep Zach there are two ponds on this farm with rats and mink but with the shitty fur prices i am going to just continue to work on keeping the yote population down to help the fawn survival.

Hoping the heavy rain holds off so i can get some beaver sets out in the morning.
Might even set a couple for yotes.

Good stuff. Following

 

[Boarhead]

Got a few beaver and yote sets in today.
Going to get more out on Wednesday and thursday.
Time to start cathing some critters.That last pic should be good for a couple on those two trails.
Also found an old deer carcass about half eaten with lots of yote scat and tracks running on the trails coming to it.
Set a couple there so should be good to go when they come back through.
Just wish it wasn't going to rain the next 4 days.

Looks good, Brian!

Git after 'em Brian!

 

[Boarhead]

Got out early this morning and beat the rain that was heading my way.
Who knew it would be 67 degrees checking beaver sets.
The creek was up several feet and had one in a snare swimming around.
Had a heck of a time getting him as he kept slapping his tail and going under.
When i set it yesterday it was up on dry bank,he was a nice one at 51 pounds.
Dont look to catch any yotes till this heavy rain gets out.
Supposed to be nice after monday so will try and put in more yote sets tues,wed and thursday.

 

[Boarhead]

This was the set yesterday.and today it was under water with a beaver in it swimming around.
