I set a conibear box in this location every year. It has always been a pretty good spot, and I drive by the location every day on my way to town. I stopped by this evening and could tell the box had been moved from its normal position, I walked out to it and was pleasantly surprised by what I found over the hill! The first picture is just as I found it, in the second photo I had moved the catch to get a better photo if it

Nice coyote. I have only seen it happen twice. I will add I do get several where the screen is ripped loose form the back.

I’ve used cubbies for years and never had it happen. Congrats!!

Is that a 330?

Once you catch a skunk there it does happen.
Seen it every year up here.
Had a double ender this year..... one in each end

Nice

I was talking 220.

It is a 220

That’s pretty darn cool. Not to change the subject but a friend of mine calling one in right to his pickup, in daylight and shot it with his bow. I guess sometimes they don’t act like coyotes!

Thats Crazy

Yotes in cages and 220s (buckets) happens but not often! Never caught a badger in a bucket yet. Nice catch and a sweet yote.

I have taken a handful of badgers in boxes. I think a coyote has to be pretty hungry to stick his head in a box.

I agree Scott! Have a couple coyote storys. Had a friend that hadn't ever heard of making cubbies like that to catch coons. When I enlightened him, he said, "you ought to be able to catch coyotes that way"' I said, not a chance. The next year he caught one, and I thought he would never let up on me! Read my signature!

The other one, when I was in Wy trapping, and the rancher beat me out to go feeding at daylight. They kicked out a yote, and his boarder collie that was young and fast, run that coyote under my toyota and had him bayed there! My guns were in the yota, so I walked up to the door as easy as I could, reached in and grabbed a gun. What I grabbed was my 243, and I really wanted my 22. About then the yote had enough, and broke out from under the truck. It wasn't that coyotes day, as he ran straight into a sheep fence that went around the old shack I stayed in. I knew I didn't have much time, so I just shot the yote with the 243. The dog said thank you, and went back to the ranchers pickup, but They harrassed me pretty hard about how they had to herd the coyotes to the trapper! Good times!

I'm surprised it killed the coyotes, I've seen fox and coyote survive a 220

not with a Belisle 220 trap

Trappercass - That is a great looking coyote, good job.

Lee - That Wyoming story really made me smile.

There are always odd catches like that each year on the trapline.

Nice catch! And I have caught a handful in my bodygripper boxes....even in a 160 one time. Since then I've learn to ANCHOR MY TRAP FOR THE LARGEST ANIMAL IN THE AREA.

I've caught two or three coyotes in 280 conibears while water trapping.

If 280's were legal, I think alot more coyotes could be taken that way. I have also thought about the grab and pull idea on triggers but I am not brave enough to try that and wouldn't advise anybody to do such a thing. We don;t need anymore bad rap.

They maybe close tighter,

Well, actually..... ah, better not post it on here, lol.

Caged 2 in week a few years ago and 1 before that it happens more then a guy thinks.

I actually caged one last year as well law dog! Maybe we just have a pretty stupid coyote in this neck of the woods..

I caught a female coyote in a 330 cubby set for bobcat. Was amazed that it would happen, only time in 30+ years of trapping.

I believe the dimensions on that particular cage would be 42"L x 21"H x 12"W. It is from a briarpatch cluster. I looked those dimensions up from the website of the manufacturer. I'd have to measure one to get the distance from the door to the pan though
