Operation coyote necktie.

Had one knocked down and the bait has been messed with by something capable of tearing flesh from bone. Went another 30 yards on the trail with the knockdown and set another one.

Hey Joe how did you have that snare in the last pic set up? Was it attached to the fence post or earth anchored?

Looks like it's wired to the tree

Yep wired to the tree. All I could find was 14ga wire so I doubled it up and twisted it. Slip the wire through the swivel and around the tree. Give it a couple twists then use pliers to twist it until it's tight on the tree. If you make it long enough you can use the free tag end of the wire to also support the snare. I twist the two tag ends really good then clip off about an inch of one to slide in the support collar of the snare.

I use the other tag end tjat looks like a bunny ear to hold the slack snare cable to the tree. The slack cable tends to try and twist your loop out of position or tries to droop back in front of your snare. As windy as it gets here in the corn flats I wanted them to be a little more secure from shifting around.

I had a hard time finding wire also. 11 ga has to be ordered. We called all over columbus looking for it and nothing was in stock.

You could try some coyote piss and see if that makes them investigate. They are running now so that added scent might make come in

Oh gotcha... Didn't realize it was a tree and not a fence post lol. Thanks for the info. I was just curious how it was rigged up. I have no clue how strong a coyote is so I wasn't sure if just wiring a snare to a fixed object is enough to hold one or not.
