I have a finger draw (5-6 feet wide) coming off of a narrow main draw 15-20 feet wide in most places that I set last year but then got the cat in a cubby on the 1st check so I was not in there long. Went to haul in gear earlier and found cat tracks right away going up the finger draw a perfect blind set area narrow at the bottom and rocks that are natural funnel points. Put 2 MJs in the funnel points added some branches and have a baited barrel cubby about 40 yards down the main draw will see what these set produce.

The junction of the finger meeting the main draw.

One of the MJ sets I have another one about 10 feet up the same finger draw. A bad pic angle the area is bigger just blocked a bit by the snow on the side of it.

That's some pretty fur coyotedoc!! A lot of hard work involved. I hope the buyers in Toronto treat you well!

Nice looking fur coyotedoc!

Catch is way down in my neck of the woods as well.

I’m unable to get around after the snow and wind. Might try some calling I have a 22-243 that needs to be broken in.

Callers will be out in numbers this year, coming back from cat country the other day a minivan parked next to public had a couple guys with rifles looked like they were callers.

Checked my cat sets I need to haul a guy to court tomorrow so I checked them all today. Found a set of good size cat tracks walking down a small limb on the ground, also had a chicken that was eaten in a cage looked like the chicken foot wedged under the peddle, it was eaten "in the cage" the wings and breast bone were still in the cage. Cleaned out the cage then wired another chicken to the back of the cage added a bark plank to make it easier to trip the trigger from further back (Peddle needs to be moved back for cat trapping)


Also moved a game cam to see if whatever comes back again I'd get it working the cage. With the bait eaten on the spot like that I'm thinking cat but there was a lot of badger sign around the area also.

About a 4 inch log under the snow.

Added a piece of bark to extend the peddle more to the center of the cage.

Southeast SD has above normal temps for the first half of Jan so I put out some dps again and picked up some more coons.

I caught 2 nice silver flaked sows further up in this shelterbelt in Nov. I picked up their boyfriends the first week of Jan

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

I set half a dozen dps around "Thor's" farmstead about the same time. He is an "interesting" organic farmer/hoarder and I've trapped his farmstead every mid wiinter since 2014. The corner of the trailer set (has it moved since 2014...?) and in the crazy messy machine shed (where he feeds his cats) have always produced multiples of masked bandits.

[Linked Image]

I have some coon cubbies out at my bro's place. Picked up an uncommon colored one that had fairly decented colored flanks but was more "blond" tint on back and tail. I wonder how it will grade for color come May?

[Linked Image]


I don't think I'll be driving down by these bales come by the end of tomorrow with my van...

The youngest kid came in with a surprise tonight. He's been patiently checking some snares along a river bottom without any success. He was to close them off today but ended up with this on his last check. We don't have a lot of reddies around so nice to see them once and while.

Never came back to that draw I had a pic of 1 next to my cubby but still not interested in the bait, I added a chicken today will see what that brings.

The kid got his first snared yote today. Too bad it had a huge rub across its shoulders. At least he can make something with the bushy tail!

The kid's on a roll. He'll be able to sell this one. 42 inch, looks like a decent semi-heavy.

The way the market is, the first one he caught would probably be worth putting up!
