Three so far this week, plus a coon that some stray dogs killed in my trap.
The top 'yote was a jip, caught in a Duke #1.75, offset, 4x4, at a set I learned from Barry Goe, with coyote scat & Southern Snare's Coyote Urine.
The middle coyote was a vocal male, caught in a Sleepy Creek #1.75 offset, 4x4, at a 2-Scat set, using Southern Snare's Coyote Urine, Mark June's "Coyote Frenzy", and coyote droppings.
The bottom was another jip, caught in a Duke 650 offset, 4x4, at a urine post set, using Southern Snare's Bobcat Urine & Mark June's "Smokey Post."

Nice yotes, I wish I could catch em like that lol!

Mr. Le pew came out to play this morning. Modified victor 1.75 at a corn cob set with rebel mountain red fox urine and hawbakers red reynard 700. I pulled my last line and moved to another property... Lots of sign here

4th coyote for the season! It was a jip, caught in a Duke 550 offset, at a dirt hole set, using Predator Potion's "Predator Bait #1" & Billy Dorris' "Buffalo Oil". Left paw, pad catch too!

Coyote #5 for the 2021-2022 season! 2nd made of the year, caught at a Texas Shoot Set (learned from Barry Goe), in a Duke #2 dogless, using red fox scat & bobcat scat, with red fox & bobcat urine from Southern Snares. 2nd night, right paw, pad catch!

Those 550s are killer traps! Nice pics man!

Camera shy coon this morning in a step down dirthole, with a modified northwoods 1.75 and lenons fox super all call. I put bait in the hole as well but can't remember what it was lol...... I'm thinking it was carmans bushwacker

Nice one!

AuthorTrapper how do you set a Texas shoot set?

Caught this 30# tom on Saturday in a Sleepy Creek #1.75, offset, 4x4, at a Flat Set, using Mark June's "Flat 365" and Young Bait & Lure Co's "K-1 Plus." First kitty of the season!

Caught this jip yesterday! Duke 550, 3-scat set, bobcat & red fox scat with Southern Snare's bobcat and red fox urine and Mark June's "Coyote Frenzy." #8 for the season!

I caught my 9th coyote of the season on a dirt hole set, using homemade groundhog bait, homemade liver bait and fox hollow bounty hunter.

When does everybody check their traps? I trap one farm at a time and get up at five thirty to walk their before school, I usually run 3-4 traps in good locations and a couple dogproofs if there is a big ridge or a creek that runs through the property. In a couple weeks when we get out of school for christmas break and I have tidme to check I have a little over a half dozen farms to trap and will have out roughly fifty canine sets and 75 water sets for mink coon rats and beaver, so break this year should be a good one.
Do ya'll check before or after school and how many sets do you run?

I homeschool but I check in the evening after school and right now I have 4 sets out.

I put out some DPs at the creek last night and had a nice coon this morning.

My dad caught this coyote today.

First yote ever this morning! Caught in a modified northwoods 1.75 at a step down dirthole baited with dunlaps rage bait and jameson fox cream.

Congrats! Is this your first season?

Nope it'll be my fourth, the first I caught nothing, the second I only ran dp's and caught a few coon, last season I almost strictly water trapped but dabbled in fox trapping some, this will be the first season I have seroiusly targeted canines. But I've always wanted to catch a coyote since that first season.

Well, congratulations! I can still see my first ever coyote back in March of 2018. That was my first season, but it took 3 months straight of trying to get 'em! Stay after 'em!
