They don't get the chance to, Iv'e seen pics and talked to a few that have used them. Even Wolves don't struggle. The big easterns would be no problem.

I'm running 1/16th 1x19. Dokota line mini cam lock with 285 lb. S-hook for coyote and beaver both. Using both the coyote and wolf model. Not sure what the #1 size is.

I have seen Coyotes run directly into my sets around bait stations. Yep even put the clock on a few. I use them in snow. Anybody that's trapped long enough can read tracks in the snow. Doesn't take an expert to see that when the ram springs there's not much of a struggle if any at all.

Bring your eastern coyote and I'll stick a ram on it then we can set the clock. The bigger wolf ram knocks 90 pound wolves out the same way. Maybe you should try the wolf Rams on your big eastern coyotes.

What is your snare choice that is better/quicker than a ram for those big eastern coyotes? I have money that's says you don't have a better choice.

Look at 5911ryan on YouTube. Up in Canada snaring on bait piles really racks coyotes up using all RAMS.

Oh, I'm not doubting that. The majority of coyotes I come upon that are snared are alive.
I'm snaring grasslands with no entanglement.

Are you using the WOLF Ram then to kill coyotes ?

Had 2 game cam catches of coyotes immobile (assume dead) in 2 min. or less in mine and have switched to 3/64 cable for even quicker deaths. Lots of catches with no disturbance to the site and no theft here in open cropland eastern Ne. Like I stated, I have used them since '99-2000 and evolved a trigger more sensitive than the factory design so I am sold on their lethalness. You learn a lot by using any equipment that long, be it part-time or full time.

X2 wife. Been using them since the late 90's here too. Pretty much at all crawl under's. You learn where you like them over time.

LT. I have a handful of the wolf springs. I like them on coyote as I can extend a loop out farther in a trail and still keep the spring over to the side. The wolf spring being a little longer than the coyote and beaver model gives you a little longer cable.

Wow!

How do the rams work on otter?

Use a 330

Right on Newt.

How many otter you going to neck snare? Not many and body caught otter In snares Isn't a good thing.

I have never used rams here and wondered if they would be worth the expense. I like the idea of coyotes being dead right away causing less damage of course. I might be a skeptic though thinking that less in the set area is better. Our coyotes are pretty weary. What type of reaction do you guys get with a poorly caught coyote? (Leg, belly, shoulders)

Well I can use snare on land but not a 330. I will stick with footholds I guess. I always wanted to try the mini ram on mink. But i heard they were not sensitive enough for mink to set off.
