Thanks guys. I think I'm going to leave them up until April 1st or until I catch one more, whichever comes first. The first yote I caught on the in-laws farm was a male, then a few days later a guy I know caught a female that was traveling alone on the neighboring farm so she was probably his mate. The last 2 yotes I've caught have been females. 3 females and a male out of the population should save quite a few fawns and that's why I love taking these fuggers out. This is the best spot I have for deer hunting and I'd like to keep it that way. The in-laws also have sheep so they appreciate every yote I kill.

Thanks brian! Found this stud today. Walked for 5 hours and that's all I found, my buddy found 2 and they weren't much bigger than this one.

Best day I've ever had on the snare line! Caught a male/female pair 10 yards apart. Female choked herself out and I caught the male around the back hips. My grandma passed away on Tuesday and she always supported my hunting and trapping. I believe she had a hand in this. The first pic you can see the female 10 yards behind the male.

Thanks guys. A couple buddies of mine who have caught a lot of yotes think that the male might be a coy dog. Note the long hairs around his face and ears.
