Its been a minute since I have been logged on and talking to you fellas. The family and I were very fortunate after a lot of searching to purchase a small farm in Portland, Tn. this past Sept. With work, court and moving my bowhunting was pretty much non existent. During the time on the new place noticed a lot of coyote traffic on my trail cameras. Well I was able to harvest a 1.5 year half old buck on veterans day morning. After processing I took the bones and skin back to the hayfield, which is 177 yds from the back door and was able to kill the oldest coyote I have ever laid eyes on. Its teeth(all 4 canines) were wore down to the roots,

With the up coming delivery of chickens in January I wanted to do some predator control. A good buddy here at ole Hoosierhunting set me on the right path and I had 3 traps in the ground on the 26th,
Wyatt, my oldest boy, goes with me to check them. First catch was a huge grinner/egg stealer.

Going to keep running them till the season end Feb 28. Hooked for sure have 12 more traps that will be here this week lol, I am enjoying the challenge and learning a new skill.
