Coyote Trapping for dummies
Posted on 4/18/22 at 11:37 am

I don’t know what to do with my hands right now, so I’ve decided to try out Coyote trapping. I’m kind of a minimalist by nature. Bare bones, what do I need to get started? Anyone got a “full proof” method for eradicating them? And no, I don’t want to poison. Just snare and dispatch. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Order your snares with deer stops, it allows a deer to pull their leg out in the event that they step into one, but will still close enough to grab a yote.

eradicating them
Why?
Do more good and put this effort into eradicating wild hogs who do far more damage.

FNTpost starter kit
I bought this kit. Have not gotten one yet but also haven’t had the opportunity to have the traps out very much (haven’t been able to be there two days in a row or too wet)
That will change this summer hopefully.

A 223 round out to 180 yards at a running coyote was a career best. We followed tradition by hanging him on the fence post to ward off other coyotes

I would, but I don’t have any hogs on my place. I’m targeting raccoons too, but I have a good method for them.

yotes are tough, foot traps is what we use with mostly dirt hole sets, T bone sets,go down a few you tube holes and learn all you can, but it takes some patience and lots of hours, we have significantly thinned out the yotes, bobcats and foxes and have seen an increase in turkey and rabbit, so it is well worth the effort

I wear out the yotes bobcats grey fox and raccoon you need traps, sifter, driver, ground hog hammer, bucket baits and lures
Just don't use much
Just don't use much

Have caught a few raccoons but need to get more.

Any luck? I am thinking about getting this same kit and going after them soon.

Any updates? My cousin talked to a pro trapper. He would set foot holds on sandy roads. He said he covered them in dirt and squirted some kind of lure around them. Any more advice? I’m ready to wage war but too broke for a thermal.

if you have gamecams, do some reconnaissance to find out best where to set the traps. once youve got a spot picked, key is to try and funnel them into the trap. smooth dirt over the pan, larger clumps (or sticks) bordering the trap. 45 degree hole with some type of backstop to ensure they approach from the front. bait/lure will depend on your area and preference but they arent picky, just smart so disguising your set is key. remember exactly where the set is! good luck!

Coyote trapper we encountered in East Texas years ago would put a single white chicken feather by his trap. Looks out of place on a trail covered with pine needles and they go to investigate.

yea, bones work well like that too.
Posted on 7/13/22 at 12:15 am to beHop
personally, I would do a dirt hole set ... that way if you catch a dog, possum, or coon you can set them free
Duke # 1.75 coil spring is perfect and cost around $10 each
if you're brave, teach 'em how to "kennel up" and bring the coyote home for the kids to play with

I've just started trapping in the last year. I run Duke #550s. Easy trap to set up. You can learn just about everything you need to get started by hitting up YouTube.

I don't unfortunately. Its mainly due to me not be able to get over there two day in a row or a few days.
I have caught a few more coons though.
