Rolled up and saw coyote run off. Got lucky. Male ran off in to cut over. Got him with AR 15 in cutover bout 200 yards out with 2nd shot. Held to high on first shot. 77 Smk got him threw liver I think

Mama. Has milk. Pups are not with her. Just the male I shot

Nice job!!!

1/2 way threw this small job. 6 traps already tripped by deer. Biologist says he and owner are happy. 4 years on this place. Its first trip. That I have see this little sign. Deer and turkey # s up real good. Glad everyone here is happy.

Thanks. Got 30 sets out yesterday. Bout 20 more will have this little 2500 acres of pines land mined LoL!

We could've used you in the service. Land mines was one of my jobs.

Glad I don't have to do trap maps like we did mine maps.

Find an identifiable landmark and plot it to a eight digit grid. Shoot a bearing and distance to first mine, rinse cycle repeat for each additional mine.

My favorite though was booby trapping the mines. Every so often you dig an extra deep hole and bury two mines the bottom one fused to the top one with a pull fuse.

I once had a coyote that liked to flip up traps. SO. I buryed one longways. Sat another side ways. On top of it so ot didnt touch. 2 days later. Caught old female. Trap digging stopped LoL!

See, you would've been good at it, lol.

But there have been a few dogs over the years that I wish I could use a claymore on.

Blending in afew more sets. Sometimes is tuff to blend in clay

I need to try some of James lure.

It works good for me in this hot weather. Always has Some people like a thicker lure. But I put my lure in those Hobby Lobby bottles that yall have seen me use and have no problems

I made a few sets a week ago. Picked up my first summer coyote today. Young male caught him on a quail nest set. Remade set hopefully another one will pass thru.

Phil,
I have used pigeon eggs to make 'mock turtle nest' sets for years and found it to be a very effective set.
Ants and heat seldom bother an egg that hasn't been damaged (cracked) and coyotes seem to smell the eggs through the shell.
No other scent is used, or even needed for that matter.

Would eggs fall afoul, see what I did there, of the various open visual bait laws of some states?

Nice job of blending in that set. You are a master at blending a set in

Have you seen any sign of pups following along on the road while tracking the roads .I was out on some property scouting sign and noticed several sets of tracks together. I know it is about time in my area.

Thanks for sharing.
Mac
