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.

Nice catch there the yote catch is way down in many areas from most of the trappers I have talked with in many areas!

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

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.
