Coyote Challenge

[Boarhead]

I've caught 5 since the contest started, havn't had any open for a week but opened 5 today. Would like to lasso one more before i finish for the yr.

Nice lookin fox Joe.

Caught this female red Fox today. Released her unharmed.

How long is that lead Joe?

I need to either get longer snares, longer anchor leads, or put a jumper between them. By the time I place my anchor in the ground I feel like my snare doesn't have much play room after opening up the loop and trying to keep it up off the ground high enough.

I had the same issue myself.

I build extensions. Take about 3 or 4' of snare cable and make a loop through a 1/4-20 nut. Then mash the nut with a sledge. Kinked snares work good too.

I'll have to give that a try. You attaching both ends of the extension with swivels or just quick links?

 

[xbowguy]

I have left the swivel on when using kinked snares. 2 is better than one IMO. But I have also just used cable and 2 nuts or aluminum ferells.

Stupid coons ruin good snares.Lol

5 foot. I had the same issues. Need to make some extensions or buy 6 foot snares next year.

 

[Boarhead]

I like the 3/32 7x7 snare,i believe they are around 84 inches total length.

 

[jagermeister]

The "coyote catchers" I bought from the snare shop are 10 ft, I believe.

7ft, Jim.

 

[xbowguy]

Damn...Those ought to be plenty long enough!

 

[jagermeister]

7ft, Jim.

Ahh you could be right. Not sure why I was thinking 10. Either way though...I'm happy with the length of them. Allowed me to make some tricky sets but weren't too long either.

I've had some 5 foot snares and couldn't stand them, 7 footers are much better.

 

[RedCloud]

I'll have to look into those. Thanks for the info fellas.

 

[Boarhead]

Cought and released this female fox today.

 

[RedCloud]

She was chewing on that branch thinking that's what she wanted to do to your leg lol.

 

[Boarhead]

They are feisty as hell. Lol
