Made a couple sets Saturday since the snares aren't working yet. This one was a hybrid dirt hole/flat set made after cleaning out a spot in the snow in the pasture bottom. Large male. When the snow clears out a little more, I have a spot in mind to set up a trail cam on a dirt hole set, and see what happens.

That is a beautiful yote. Yaz you make this coyote stuff look So easy. I have been at it for almost two months and still no yotes. Have tracks all around just can't get one in my traps.

Good picture. Love the drama of the yotes being outwitted.

Nice, he doesn't look happy to see you!

Very Nic Yaz........That Yote Looks PIzzed Off......Big Time!

Nice! He is definitely sizing you up......h.h.

Have you ever just walked up to one and tried to pet it? Just curious.

Actually Solo, I do a Vulcan Mind Meld, and re-habilitate them to not eat our calves and fawns. Then I release them!!! :p

Atta boy!!!!... With all the scent around from the boys, I'm surprised you caught one that fast.

BTW, you decide to go pet one, let me know so I can be there to watch...

I will bring the Handy Cam.....

Get the Turtle Man up here to handle one, that would be funny...

I'll video it too...

Nice work Yaz. It has been pretty slow for me. I have caught 4 yotes and 3 gray foxes. All the yotes were males. The coons are not running much either as i only caught 10 of them and I have been running 2 dozen Duke dogproofs for a month now. I belive all 10 of those were males too.

That's a killer photo!
Nice catch Yaz

Talk about SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!! I've had a couple sets out, and 3 or 4 snares in my "go to" spots, and one yap is all I can manage! Not complianing about NOT having them around. I HOPE thats just the case, and not that I've lost my "edge"!!! Now that the weather has straightend out, I'm putting on the full fledged assult this weekend! Coons must have took a hit this summer with the drought, and disease. My father being retired normally catches 150+ a year, and has caught 30.

I caught a coon today in one of my snares, big ol boar. Im moving all my sets this weekend and see what happens. h.h.

I have caught two coons and two possums in two months. This is with nine coyote sets five bucket sets and foot traps.

Guys, I think I'm having withdrawal from a lack of pictures! This thread is my favorite this time of year and you're leaving my hanging.

I wasnt sticking around long enough to take a picture of Pepi LaPew for you Dave!!!!! :rolleyes: That was a 1'st for me. Never snared a skunk in all my years

I caught a gray fox today in one of my snares. Sorry Delaney I did not take a picture I just wanted you to suffer some more.

Parker, keeping all the visual fun to yourself is just COLD!

Yaz, you would've got an extra "man card" for taking a picture of you and white stripe sitting next to each other smiling.

Nothing today but did encounter a beautiful red fox roaming the field. Now he just has to make it into one of my sets.

I'm heading out Thursday for a few days doubt ill be able to get any beaver sets out due to creek levels but hopefully the coons and dogs are moving.

Caught his one today, nice big male that I guess would weigh about 35 lbs.



Don't want Delaney to have withdrawal symptoms....lol. h.h.

Man, I was a day away from therapy. Thanks HH

I really enjoy watching all you trapping guys success. Keep the pictures coming!

Yaz you catch it........you gotta post a pic....

I figure you guys might get tired of these pics but I guess not. Here is a nice male gray fox I caught on a dirt hole set with a sleepy creek 1 3/4. This is number 4 this year.

Nice looking grey.

You doing good Parker!!

Very nice........keep them coming!

Keep pics coming. I enjoy everyones success.

Not mine, but more proud of it than if it was. Tristan asked for traps for Christmas, so I got him a half dozen Duke dog proofs, half dozen 1 1/2s, and a couple #2s. He currently has sets out for coon, mink, and yotes.

This coon was his first catch after setting and baiting the set on his own. Very proud of him!!!!

Congrats to Tristan!

You guys are working on them!!!! Yes, keep posting pics!!!!! Parker, you are fortunate to have gray's. I havent seen one in our part of the country in 20 years! There was a time when they were plentiful, along with the reds. Coyotes, and habitat I suppose. I'd LOVE to catch just one to mount! I think they are the neatest animal. HH, You got 'em figured out now man!!!! And Tristan has done something I can't seem to do.....catch a damned coon in a DP!!!! :rolleyes:

Parker, Nice catch and I agree with Yaz, very, very few grays around here any more. Reds are hard to come by too since the yote population got healthy. h.h.

I had a DP out with marshmallows as bait and the mice keep eating the bait....lol h.h.

At this point in the game....I'd LOVE to catch a mouse....SOMETHING!!!! Geeeesh!

He wanted me to let you know that he is willing to offer you lessons. :p

Put a soup can over it. Worked for us and also keeps water out.

Nice job Tristan. Those DP traps are pretty cool.
