Thank you ! I agree completely !

She isn't allowed to do much more than bark, she gets to mouth them after the shot. Same thing lion, coon dogs get to do, the animal is dead then.
She tell me where coyotes sign territory, they sometimes are upset she was trespassing and helps add to my catch, I doubt barking at them is bad for them, sometimes they bark and or howl back

The one female on atv is the one we chased down when it pulled the long stake after a rain, the dog helped me get that one that could have gotten away, dogs are a good help, never even considered someone would think it's a bad thing, doesn't make sense to me

Most dogs on the trap line I would think are working dogs like mine maybe not all dog's. She is not there to bark at the animals in the traps unless I need her to she is there to work just like when I pull up to a farm gate and there is 60 head of 400lb steers standing there and I need them all moved so I can get through the gate. If I put her to harassing (barking) at a bobcat to get its attention off of me so I can get the catch pole on it.

Took the young lady with me again today, she snared two coon, one was 31.5lbs!! As big or bigger than any I got in last 45 years, I got another nice furred female coyote and a cherry red big male fox, seeing more fox with almost no coyotes around.
The girl was so happy, two coon same farm same day, then she had never seen a caught coyote or fox, fun day for her!

I won't allow her to bite, she will get punished if she tries, I don't want any damage and there is no need for anything more than barking
Lol, I always chuckle when the dog sniffs the coyote and it just lays there like, I don't see no dog, if I hide maybe they won't see me

A 30+ lb. coon for our latitude, that's a piggie. I haven't picked up any dinks yet this week, so far my average (small sample) is 21 pounds. We'll see if that holds...

Hope coon prices are better this year. I got a thirty pounder 40 years ago in a junk Victor trap, I got rid of all of them after that

Nonpc, that coon had half of one ear, I spose he was quite a scrapper, probably got ears chewed off sometime, his teeth looked old too

Did he have a full tail...? Sometimes those old battle worn boars have parts of their tails gone. And people think all the animals live together like in Bambi...

He did have a full tail, I have caught several big old boars with no tail or a stub

Got a big adult male in a flat set today, it looks like he got caught when it started snowing after supper last night. I knew the two flat sets would work, he had dropped turds on that spot few weeks ago.
It was able to cover blend sets perfectly because high water this year deposited pieces of hay in a 2" layer, so easy to blend set.
Two different brands if gland lure used, the set that caught him had a clump of dirt as a backing, from digging my trap bed, other flat set can only be found by seeing the turd I used for a foot guide, he might have been by himself, the snow didn't show tracks

Ditto.

I caught another big male coyote today, snared him in a trail crossing a section line fence, where it meets a dredge ditch. There is usually not much to hide a snare in, on the downed fence.
I set snare couple weeks ago, installed some big hemp weeds to block the open area next to the trail, like making a weed fence to try to convince them to stay on the trail. I set one there every year, there's usually not much to hide the snare, this spot and other wide open sets get hit on dark nights usually, I noticed years ago they will hit those snares on dark nights, full moon last night, but heavy clouds
Nice big male with good belly fur

So with my pictures in my phone gallery,how do I go about getting them on my post, I'll try again

That young lady trapper caught a boar coon with no tail today, she likes using snares

Tac.20- I'm glad you're picking up some decent yotes! I got all those yote skulls I bought from you cleaned up but most of the teeth fell out from my boiling and haven't glued them back in yet. Perhaps a later winter project. I'm going to paint a few either American flag or Rebel battle flag on them and try selling them on ebay. Maybe those pc Calis won't let the Rebel flag ones be sold on their site anymore, don't know. We'll see how it works out...

I'd like a picture of red white n blue ones

Well I don't have any more coyote on my farms than it did last fall when I got done trapping. I'm only catching big adults, found a dead coon in the water on one farm, maybe distemper, or some canine disease
