... ol boy down the road got a picture of a bear on his deer paparazzi camera... I might end up dealing with that here too at some point... sightings becoming more common around here

If I can find chain, I’ll have drags for next Summer! Seems our Winters are wet the past few years, don’t have to worry about anything frozen, lol. It’s like now when we go through our dry spell that the ground is like cement that the drags would really come into play in those areas you literally can’t drive an anchor in or even hope to get one up if you do.

A good coyote-sized drag like FT sells with 10 feet of American made #3 chain attached to a Bridger and then pinched onto the toe of a 150 lb yearling bear will be carried for a ride or a climb. Makes for a long delay in trap checking that day....

Donkeys vary in ability and aggression. I've got a cousin that has a small cattle operation and he tells me that you got to go through a few to find a good one but a good one will kill anything canine and the really rough ones are a danger to cattle and anything that moves.

... they say they’re young males roaming west ... I’d be fine without having to deal with them..

... glad your getting paid to keep coyotes off that place... now you ought to pay me a little for keeping that dang Jtrap out of your post lol

I can pick wolf fangs up at conventions for $32 to $35 a hundred Patrick.
Sometimes get them real cheap from individuals selling out.
I’ll keep my eyes peeled.

Please do. I'd really appreciate it. Are you attending any conventions b4 I come up hunting???

You sure ran him off....he didnt even look back.....

Yessir ... just like a Honduran that made it to El Paso

No buddy.
Convention season is over for us.

Swamp Wolf. Was wandering if this property was close to you are do you travel and how much do charge for doing the job.

25 miles one way. $2500 for 14 days...

Some jobs I offer 10 days for $2000....which is usually sufficient if I've trapped it b4....or the landowner wants the extra effort...

Bcat was released...season not open yet and property doesn't have a furbearer control permit. But, the little gal was not happy with Patrick.


Here's that group of trap stomping Jerusalem Cruisers.

If anyone has any Wolf Fang-type ends for sale...let me know....

Yeah...I know I should have posted that on Trap Shed, but It's a long shot...

I'm about to order some so.....

SW are you pre drilling before driving your stakes? I picked up a pack of auger bit earlier in the summer and in tough areas I have been pre drilling either a 3/4 or 7/8s and it does help alot.

I may have to start pre-drilling, but I dont want to...just takes more time at a set. I even mix my lure with my bait to save time.....lol

Hey swamp great pics. im the same way im not pulling stakes anymore for the same reasons. but since we don't have bears I'm going to try drags this year on my "piddle" trapline. ITs so dry up here right now this red clay and my back aint going to happen unless we get a lot of rain before season. Glad to see youre enjoying life even more now!

JBR

... keep on em Swamp... I checked in with a huntin club I trapped last year today because of your post .. satisfied customer lol

Swamp, what s your brand of trap and size you are running? What kind of sets? Flat sets, dirt holes? Really enjoying your pictures!! Good stuff, keep them coming!

As always, thanks for sharing! Love to see those coyotes chained down. I set 4 traps this afternoon and the ground was like concrete on 3/4. Couldn’t dig a dirt hole. Sure wished I had something different for digging the trap beds and am just guessing I’ll be leaving the stakes on these unless I can borrow a backhoe
