Never trapped coyotes in April before, but got one or two showing up on a trail camera 80 yards from the house.

Seems to be showing up every other day.









And here’s the dirt hole set. Trap of choice is a Duke #3 soft catch. Canine force lure. Set right in front of the cell cam.



Honestly I’m pretty dang excited about this as I didn’t trap this winter.

I’ll post any updates as they come!

…. Good luck caught one a few years ago coming up close to the house like that

Right on!!

Top pic looks like a fox. But the others are obviously yotes. Good luck

Definitely could be!

Git 'im, Jurassic! Git 'im!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you sprinkle salt on his tail it will paralyze him! My Dad told me that!

I too thought that first pic looks like a red fox.

Agreed.

Too many guide sticks at that set IMO. Better to be a bit more subtle, but if it works then it works.

Reds ears have a black backside, Doubt that's what it is.


Now watch, first thing he'll catch will be a red, lol.

Good luck.Looks like all coyote pictures to me.Tail in the first picture is same tail in the other pictures.

Personally, I’ve found spring and summer coyotes to be a lot harder to catch than fall and winter yotes.

I’ve always used a lot of guiding sticks at my sets. Seems to work for me. I know everyone’s got their own ways.

Pretty much every dirt hole I make looks exactly like this one.

Had a pic of a rabbit hop by last night. I’ll let the trap soak until I catch one!

You can catch some coyotes with any method and with any thing especially if u wait long enough

If you'd be in a clique, the others would've taught you better.

Good luck! There’s no shortage around us. I got one in back a couple summers ago, they were coming right into the yard. Used a #3 soft catch and an old bear skull for appeal on my quad trail. I just kept a close eye on Morty when we went outside.

Yup, there’s plenty of them around here. Figure I’ll take one or two out before there’s another 5 pups running around.

….. I’d have caught ten by now

And slap tamed them in hunting dogs and guide dogs for the blind.

I agree with Newhouse114, spring summer dogs can test your patience. Winter makes them look easy.
