I couldn't help myself. I've had a bait pile going since gun season at my parents. I have had one chew out and neck tied one. In the last three weeks or so the coyotes have hit it every other day if not every. So I couldn't take it no more and set two more snares in my truck tracks in the corn stalks and 2 more flat sets with some turkey feathers for a visual and call lure. So we will wait and see. I'm worried about the traps being bedded good enough. I bedded them with nine penny nails too stabilize them and peat moss.
I pulled another rat out of the ice today. He was in a 110 blind set I had set for mink. I'm thinking my coyote numbers are down a little in my area. I think we hurt them pretty hard last year with the hounds. I'm not seeing much sign latelyin my trapping sections like I usually do this time of year.
It was caught in a trench set on a 1.75 four coil Bridger that I redyed and waxed a couple weeks ago. I was having trouble with diggers so I started over and it seems to have paid off. The four coil was just about to much for a fox it was a high catch which I like to see but I'm not a fan of the broken leg. Either way I guess I shouldn't be bitchin lol.
