Carefully lol. Hopefully others chime in. I don't run snares for coyotes or at least very rarely. Only hip caught coyote I've had was in a wolf snare in Idaho. Bigger loop so I assumed that's why the yote was hip caught. It was a little tedious skinning mine out but the leather opened where it was snared.

Bummer on the deer. At least you were legal though. Assuming the CO didn't give you too much of a hard time, since the breakaway functioned?

Nope, he was fine to work with, but I was anchored solid with rebar with the 285 BADs on which didnt leave him much room to get gruff with, I wont lie I was a little worried when I was calling him- havent had the best track record with the guys...
