Anyone here trap yotes?
Posted on 11/5/20 at 7:19 pm

So I know the studies that say yotes dont have an impact on deer but I am starting to think my place may be different.
While we have a good deer herd, with the resources around and the lack of pressure I would think it would be bigger.
Furthermore we have tons of pictures constantly of packs up to 13 yotes, yotes chasing deer at all times of the day and yotes carrying deer parts in their mouths year around, not just when dropping fawns.
Not to mention the property next to use has large caged free roaming chickens that act as a damn dinner bell.
I have been on leases and had property all over and have never seen the amount of coyotes this place has.
I know they are notoriously tough to trap but still thinking about it. I would be lying if I said poising hasnt crossed my mind if it was legal.

It's not that hard if you live close enough to do daily trap checks. Where are you located ? May be able to help you find someone to help you get started

I am a couple hours from the property unfortunately so it is hard to stretch more than 2-3 days of trapping together.

What so funny?

Honestly, I want to see this.
I mean. I've seen them hunting in pairs. I've heard of them hunting in threes and fours. But I've never heard of anything like a pack of 13. And I'm not sure how you'd get that on camera.
Can you link a picture?

I don’t get what is so funny.

Hadn’t ever seen it either til this past Friday. Had two that had been out in the field I was hunting and they went back in the woods. 45 mins later a good buck came out (out of bow range). 5 min later the two come back out and start howling and within 30 seconds the rest started piling out the woods. I counted at least ten. They chased the buck to the woods then turned and went across the field as a pack. Most I had ever seen was 4 together and I am on a 4000 acre farm daily

I’d like to see that picture too.
To the OP, if you are looking to learn, I’d suggest youtube study of trapping. I learned plenty off of multiple videos. I trap with an MB 650. Rig it right and you’ll trap plenty.

I have a camera up on a white oak looking down a narrow trail and gives a good picture for a long way.
If I get any more I will post them. I wish I would have kept some, I have had some great ones with whole hindquarters and shoulders in their mouths.
I have an all black one and a monster mostly white one that would be cool to turn into a pelt.
I showed them to my cousin who traps a lot for big clubs and ranches in TX and he says he never seen a place with this many yotes or coons. I got something coming for the coons though.

I am but was wanting to get some feedback first. My cousin says they are weary and tough to catch were he is, very sensitive to scent, presentation etc.
Also said it may be different where I am since there is no trapping pressure.

Never seen 13 in a picture, but here are two pictures I got off my place last week. I counted 7

Trapperman.com is a great learning resource. Especially the archives. Bedding traps solid so there's no movement is the biggest thing to learn. Definitely gang set with multiple traps at a location but spread out.
Unless you hire someone yo trap, the best bet is to buy a thermal scope. You can make the most of the short visits

Yea for sure going to invest in some electronic calls and the fake rabbit motion machine for after the season. Going to stake out an active den as well after the season with cameras.

Apparently we had one in a neighborhood off 22 last night. Neighbors all scared and everything.

We have a little red fox that comes through, not yote yet. I had several big arse cottontails I was going to plant some rye for but my buddy the owl who lives behind the house has been hammering them. Was looking forward to a little air gun hunting and fried rabbit gravy.

Folks used to set a #1 or 1 1/2 Jump trap on top of a tall wooden post for those varmints. A long chain tied near the bottom of the post and a brick wired to the trap chain a little ways from the trap will bring the varmint down to the ground instead of flopping around while trying to take off with the trap. That's the way they were kept under control back when. Nosy neighbors driving by would think that the varmint was just struggling with it's supper.

Snares on fence lines. You can devastate a coyote infestation in a few weeks.

I second this, have had a lot of success in Texas with snares. Setting up on the most active crossings and filling in the older ones to direct traffic better through the snares.

I am heading out of town but will pick this up next week to get more info on the snares.
