Snares and extension cables are in, will set the fence crawl unders tomorrow during my check, and this week going to pick up 20' of 1/2in rebar for stakes/ supports for the trail sets later in the week.

Got out today with a bust, but I got my first dozen snares out on crawl throughs with lots of sign in the snow of both fox and coyote. All snares are set legal anchored to fence posts not fence wire with long cable extensions. Set a few more sets, trying to get better at dirtholes, and missed a traveling coyote on an inside corner that didnt even stop his stride to smell the goods, just cruised right on over and down the road

Looks like good sign I am excited to see what you catch! Keep us posted. In the last picture what does the red X signal?

That is roughly where the Bridger #3 lays, though looking at it that x is probably 2 inches closer to the Tbone than the trap pan itself

Ran the line today, super stoked about these coyote snares and picked up a coon in a coyote snare...there isnt a tree within 4 miles and water within probably two miles! It really does figure this would be my first snare catch but hey, with a $10 bounty ill take him!

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Good time of year to catch them.

Hey Wynot,

Those crawl under certainly do produce but those nice cattle trails you showed earlier can be great locations for snares especially if K9 tracks are present. It looks like a lot of rabbits going under the fence spot too. It might create more maintenance on those snares in the fence. I've snared both types of scenarios and have taken coyotes, but my preference is those trails. Maybe you are going to set up trails later. Hope to see a coyote snared soon.

Have a good day.

Thank you much! I set a cow trail today but was short on time while checking, I have a couple dozen more snares to hang over all of those cow trails, I have only found one stock pond with water in it still I plan on snaring all of the cow trails into that pond as well. I had to wait to build some anchor supports. Now that those are done I will be setting all of those. I am really enjoying setting snares though it's pretty addicting and I havent even snared a coyote yet!
