Trapping Bobcats Foxes and Yotes (non gun related)

Good luck Redfish!

Saw the picture angus He will remember that for the rest of his life.

From what knowledge I do have, I wouldn't lump all three together. offshore can correct me here but I've always heard how yotes are hard to catch. I'm thinking about trying with snares.

Did he kill em or you had to do it?

They are not hard once you figure them out. The first one is always the hardest. It's repetitious doing the same thing every set will catch a lot of coyotes. The long liners in Kansas and other states will make a 100 sets almost all the same.

I use a flat set with gland lure and I may not catch every coyote on the place but I will damn sure put a dent in their population.

Believe it or not I have more trouble out of Gray fox than anything. I think I need to go back to the way I used to trap them when I didn't try to get so fancy.

I have the same problem sometimes but it all stems to trap placement. I get so in tune to yotes that I find myself bedding the traps too far from the bait. I ease the trap in a little closer and it normally goes better.

Not as easy as one would hope but its fun.

You're gonna have to wait til after deer season. I may get some in before the end of Jan but more than likely it will be end the of Feb. My work schedule isn't that good this year.

A couple of pics from this morning. 1 cat, 1 coyote, 1 box turtle, and a couple grinners. The turtle was in a live trap set for coon, eating sardines. He was let go.

Looking good!

How's your cats looking they prime yet? Ours don't usually get right til mid Jan.

They aren't prime yet. I just let my son trap when he is out of school. He can get a little pocket change and stay outside. Its a win win. He doesn't have enough arse to set the traps yet but that is all I do for him. He picks out the spots and decides what kind of set and beds them. After he goes back to school I will start back hard and heavy.
