I figured as much Mark. smile

Cletis I have and do both on certain types of sets. Some are left some right. Sometimes straight back. On the large flashy dig out type sets I set closer and at 6 o'clock

I use something like a fire axe with a digger blade on working out the area faster and easier then using a small digging hammer. Also use a heavy duty drill with a 3 ft auger for holes and another drill set up with a 16 inch 5/8" masonry bit to pilot my cable stake holes. Makes things a bit easier and faster for this old man.

Old man?
Nah. You 're just hitting your stride.
I bet one of your sets now-a-days connects the same ratio as 12 sets did when you was a pup.

Blessings,
Mark

Now that is probably true Mark. I set up my first double set location and got a double on the second nite. Just more lucky now i guess. ) I find myself thinking about all that I have learned along the way when I trap. It is all automatic methodology now. No thinking much just auto pilot when and how to do things. How nice it would be to be able to pass it all along to a hungry young trapper with the drive and motivation to handle it all. smile

i work alone mostly since not many want to work that hard or long with me. Once i get in stride now after a couple of weeks on a job i can run a long time at a steady speed.

As long as i get my rest and don't have to worry about the wife all day i can still push hard.

Good job on the yote control. I love killing them. What’s interesting most to me is that they kill cattle, my neighbours and friends are cattle ranchers and we discuss such things. They tell me they’ve never lost a cow or even calf to a coyote. I wonder why the regional difference in their behaviour?

I smiled all through this post Bob. I have a young man of which you speak, that came and worked with me on a Texas job in 100 degree heat and after a couple days of getting acclimated, reminded me of me when I was in my 20's. He is skilled and just would not stop. Early till late. I found myself loving every minute of passing on what old war barons like you and I have gathered. I hope to repeat. I like you brother, wish there were many more like them.

Be safe, clean up all the doggies, and give 'em a real handshake (no c-19 bump) when you leave.
Thanks again.
Blessings,
Mark

I have only documented a few cattle attacks and actual kill sites of young beef cattle from coyotes. I believe the location of the herd in the steep hardwood hill area may have helped to contribute to the opportunity. The herd doesn't have much human contact from what I was told and is a bit wild and very spooky in general. I would think that the frequent harassment from the coyotes contributed to their spooky behavior.

The coyotes cleaned up that young steer quickly. Had to have been several feeding and gorging dogs to clean it up so fast.

Great job, Bob!

I had to laugh out loud at the 6th picture, though; the one with the fence charger sitting on the old park bench...

EVERY single one of those benches I've ever seen ends up looking exactly like that one!

"We have such excellent carrying capacity here for deer and coyote both"A very good observation for those who evaluate your pictures Bob. Real life animal populations can be above or below that K (carrying capacity) increasing or decreasing (going up or coming down) but the quality shown in the pictures reveals it won't be long before any decrease is reversed to an increase with that type of food/cover/water...... Nice picts of the landscape/use.......... the mike
