I have been working my trapline almost every day this Pennsylvania season, working as hard as I can to catch my first coyote. Finally, with 3 days left in the season, I did it. I scouted a field corner with a lot of canine tracks passing through. With 18” of snow melting + rain, I prioritized hay sets. I made a hay set in an hourglass shape with 2 traps, 1 on each side of the bottle neck. In the center of the bottleneck, I placed a combination of deer scraps and chicken organs from meat birds that I raised last fall. When I walked up on this coyote, it was like seeing a ghost. So many times I’ve walked up on sets hoping to see one in a trap. It took my brain a few seconds to register that I was finally seeing what I had worked so hard for. Being able to share the moment with my daughter is a memory that I will never forget. She was so excited, and kept saying, “kiyee, kiyee”. Last edited by PennaTrapper; 02/21/26 11:37 AM.
