Man that’s a lot of bad attitude pork right there.
Pretty slow here between a train hit buck right by my place and the thermal guys cruising my bait. I did get a couple visitors to the yoteguts all you can eat buffet. Killed another with my single six at 8 yards out the kill window.

Got out and shot me a couple of meat deer. One had some pretty jewelry on her.

Nice going Rob! Coyote catch here is off...having fun trapping beaver and getting paid along with setting up traplines on the same properties.

You Betcha!

That old boar was on another level of big and bad.

He absorbed several 300 + grain slugs and still managed to leave the area.

The rut is well underway here.

Our primary focus is on deer.for the moment.

The coyotes have been granted a temporary stay of execution the time being.


This older buck knows how to intimidate the younger deer.



An aggressive stiff-legged walk with ears back with a bristled coat shows he means business.

The old stink eye tops off the look.

Here are a few more photos taken while in the stand.

Nice deer Tejas. Been slow here with so much chow for the yotes laying around and now everyone is a yote hunter. I’ve had two show up wounded.
When that happens I use my secret weapon. The best lure made for my yotes. A fox. This little female has brought in two yotes that didn’t leave. Front bait is for the fox so she can get to cover quickly. If I’m not there to provide sniper cover.

You still chasing deer James?

As we speak BT.

Here’s seven year old with a big drop from a few days back.

Nice buck! Congrats

I figured so

Here are a few more random shots from the field.

Welcome to the T-Man Crew!

Thanks. Hope to b able to contribute as time passes. Keep um set.
Love the sand. Set in frozen grd here. Waxed dirt my friend .

Tejas, wonderin what kind of pan tension u run. Mine is on the heavy side. Try to avoid non targets. Not so much a problem after freez up.

Fourcoil, I run 3½ to four pounds of pan tension.

The 2 coil MB 550’s I use came that way out of the box.

That tension keeps most of the smaller coon and fox from tripping the trap while still picking up the youngsters in early fall.

You’ll probably have to make some adjustments if you are running four coil traps to get that kind of poundage.

I’ve found that the two coil MB 550 has more than enough holding power for even the biggest coyote.

I have caught several adult wolves in mine and they held just fine.

Same here, I hold a higher percentage of wolves if I have shock springs on the 550s. Thinking about removing all of them.

Been runnin 3 to 4 #. Tryin to eliminate none targets. Mostly mb 650.
