Wish I could do pictures but I can't so you will have to take my word for It. Caught the 5th $99.00 coyote today.

So far 2 have been caught In CRs and the rest In #2 Dukes.

Hung 7 more CRs today In the same area that the other 2 were caught. There are so many trails In this area 50 CRs wouldn't cover It.



CRs are legal to use If your In the study area and In the program.

Your getting ripped off Beav.Canada Goose is paying 160 for coyotes.

Ain't that study done yet?

CG wouldn’t pay that much for Wi. coyotes. Besides, Beav doesn’t have to skin or even dispatch. Just calls the biologist and turns them loose. And helps waste taxpayers dollars.

States getting a bargain at$99

I was giving Beav a hard time. As usual.

Them kids need a job too. lol

Chris, Hanna Is my proof .

You should be proud of that girl.

It was cold out today But I'm only 20 yards from the truck and let those DNR personal freeze their butts off. LOL

Have at ‘em Beav. Way to go. Glad it’s working so well for you. Our folks enjoy working with you despite all they have heard

If you want a picture posted, let me know and I can post one for you. Good luck!

If I were guaranteed $99 for every coyote I can catch, I'd set a lot more sets! lol

Lots of crops still In the fields and deer season starts Sat. Besides this Isn't state wide It's just a specific area.

Certainly proud of her Beav. Thank you

Yukonal, long term studies have far greater validity. I use my own experience as evidence of that.

Evolution like the expansion of the WI coyote/ predators populations happen for a reason. There are also reverberations that occur as a consequence, like the red fox decline, which would relate to me. (As I couldn’t give a rats backside of the impact on the ditch donkeys)

I often wonder of the cost of an otter expansion, does it come at the expense of the mink?

Your right ADC but deer season Is upon us and we just can't knock down our sets. They have to be pulled and removed. Another WI rule that makes no sense.

Will pull Fri then re group after we get some snow. LOt of knock downs do to deer using the same trails.
So far we haven't caught any of our collared coyotes from last year. And so far they have only recovered 4 dead coyotes from last years catch. But I'm assuming those collars are know out of order.

How many of those that were collared last year are still being tracked? Maybe Chris could give a better answer to that question?

Most of those collars run out of battery life after about 1 year. But according to the head guy several are still working from last year.
I'm not sure how many have been retrieved but I know they have retrieved at least 4 of the collars that were placed on our coyotes from last year.

Got # 6 today.

We need pictures. Threads with pictures always do better!

If I could do pictures they would have to increasing what ever they have to Increase on a web site to carry the load. LOL

About pictures of the captured coyotes. I don't get more then 40 or 50 yards from the critter. They want It as calm as can be before they hog snare It and shoot It up. Ten It's a waiting game till It's down and out.

I have convinced them to remove the coyote as far as possible from the catch site so the set can be re made. 2coyotes have been caught In re makes.

Today they had I think 6 Techs on site. I think I need a job like the coordinator has. He had 5 of the cutest young ladies do his bidding.
Those coyotes are treated like royalty. Their eyes are covered they are laid on a nice clean tarp and I'm not sure what all they do to It but It takes forever.

Lots of young women going into the wildlife field. But for sure they are getting a first hand look at trapping. And from what I can tell It's a good thing.

You can follow the stats of the project here:

It’s updated weekly- more or less.

Those coyotes get some pretty jewelry too- nice earrings and a necklace.

Can we see a picture of the nice earrings and necklace on one of those dogs?

I did enjoy the November newsletter. Lots of good info. https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/research/articles/november2018.html#articleTwo

If only we could be as good as the Beav!!
