Dont set that trap where that water is gonna wash over it.... I tried telling my son that and he said I’ll catch it before the rain…and he did, lol. He sees a track and puts a set in right then. He’ll carry traps around with him even when he’s done checking and doing other work. His boss and the owner doesn’t care cause he’s catching. The owner was riding with him the other day and he saw a fresh set and jumped out and put a set in. He called on the way to work saying he really hopes he catches something with the owner down to quail hunt. 15 minutes later he’s FaceTiming me with another cat. He couldn’t wait to get back and show it off, lol. I’ve taken that philosophy, if I’ve got a few days before a rain, I’ll set a wash with fresh tracks all day long. With the storms we’ve been getting it ain’t gonna matter if it’s in a wash or high ground…it’s getting flooded out.

Savell you shouldn't be posting pictures of our southeast Texas beauties like that. You'll have everybody piling in here to try to get rich on them.  Nice catches. Those coyotes look good compared to ours, lol!

Don't set where water is going run over the trap, that sand is going to get more rain, etc, etc. You nuts need to try to operate in red clay during the monsoon season.
I should of hooked you up with some nutria meat for bait, think im setting a record on them this year and buzzards won't even eat them, figure them half starved to death pulp wood coyotes be glad to get anything, lol.

club i use to trap we rode around side ways every year, solid red clay, told buddy after two years of that slop bucket if it's like this next year we're heading for the hills where it's rocky and sandy, sure enough next year it was pouring down rain the whole week we trapped so i headed to the gov. woods, least they put gravel on the roads so you can get around.

That’s some soggy weather you gotta deal with. Reckon the predators eat and move on rainy nights though. No doubt you’ll figure ‘em out.

Growing up and honing my trapping skills in Michigan, where it moisturizes everything 4 days out of 7, taught me well and has allowed me to keep on 'em here in the land of drought (until I show up). Didn't the old time rain maker charge for these kinds of services?
Ranch manager told me yesterday that the three out of state "crews" that trapped here in the years before I came aboard never went out when it got soggy. I drug in 1 coyote and 2 bobcats yesterday and told 'em.... renegades can run. But they can't hide.
Blessings! Mark
