Another today alongside a snowmobile trail near my house.

Way to go man!!

Oldest son picked up one yesterday, we’ve got 9 now this last week.

What I like most about coyotes is the variance in fur. They’re tough to judge dead but we decided after putting this one up, we’d keep him and get him tanned.

Nice

Son picked two up today. Nearly time to quit.

Great work!

Chris

Picked up the three yesterday . Two were mangy. We will shut it down next weekend.

Ran a load of carcasses out the other day, snowmobiled by this.

Nice catches sask.
Hope you get a nice payday.
I snared a coyote here last day trapping the other day.
It must be 10 years since one showed up.They are as scarce as coon here.

Great thread, thanks for sharing. Amazing scenery and weather conditions! I’ve never snared before, not allowed in my state, the “power snare” looks stout! Does it work like a conibear and close the snare faster? Helpful in the tough conditions you trap in? I think we can use a snare in water for beavers but not on land. We have so many deer it would probably be tough any how. That shed covered by the snow was cool also! Again, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Boco. I’ve let him do most of the hard work so I’ll let him have all the money. It should be a pretty good chunk of cash for a hobby when in grade 11. I’m proud of his work.

I don’t know what your laws are in Alabama, but I think it’s absolute BS that we have to use power snares here. Complete money grab to support the sales of power snares.
Not even a Canadian product anymore. Time for change!

Looks like you had a great season rvsask! I’m sure your boys are having fun!

At -40 doesn't matter if u put F or C it's still blue bitchin cold !!!!! -40

Very nice thread great pictures hope , lots lots and lots of hard work goes in packing bait.great job.
Nicely done

JP, I personally love the power snares. Even if we didn’t have to use them we would. We find the amount of places we can set them is much higher than free hangers would be and snare set time is almost nil. We also love that most of the time there is no catch circle. We view images out of Alberta where guys use free hangers and the coyote catch circle looks like a bulldozer leaking blood was through the area. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
The cost of them was a deterrent in the beginning but we just View another dozen now as a couple coyote furs.

Coonman, thanks for the nice comments. The power snare does put pressure on the snare. It uses a big spring to do so. Many of our catches show no sign of a struggle.

Rvsask, they definitely have there pro’s and con’s. I rarely ever have the bulldozer leaking blood scene at my locations. I guess it can happen with any set and also depends more on the trapper and weather.

Glad it works for you though! Just not my cup of tea.

Pulled all the snares today. Season ends the 15th but we got six in a row with mange or bad mites so they told us to focus on some big pike and shed antlers instead. Ended with about 40 good western heavies. That’ll be good for his pocket book. Doubt our half dozen fox will bring much and we’re just going to tan and keep the three lynx and couple fisher. Fun times.

Rvsask,

Thanks for taking us along on your line. Its good to know there are places Like where you're at. Personally I would really enjoy some shed antler pictures as well. Thanks
