He sure loves that tree

I was gonna ask the same thing, Yaz!

Nice one DP!!

FINALLY got 5 sets put out late last week. First check yielded a double on toons, and one yote. I wish I could get rid of all those orange ones! I've caught several coyotes at that flood gate, but knew I'd have to get the coons out the way. With this cold spell, it may hold the coons up long enough to get a coyote in one first.

Good deal yaz! Looking forward to more catch pics from ya btw.......that yote does not appear to be thrilled about getting its picture taken

Bet he was even less thrilled about getting shot..

About as "thrilled" as I was having to deal with his worthless, ugly orange, butt!!! But, its one less coyote. I am giving them to a younger guy with more gumption than me, who is wanting to skin, and tan them to sell out of his taxidermy shop. Soooooo, I don't have to skin them, and they aren't going to waste.

ANOTHER Orange Ruffy! :rolleyes:

nice......it looks ......very......very.....doa:)

That orange coloration must be a genetic hereditary trait in those 'yotes.... Ive only seen a few around here like that ..... a buddy of mine shot a true blonde one several years back, had a full mount done of it...cool looking coyote....

Great catches fellas!

Good job Yaz!

Good job Yaz. Sweet looking spot in that fence corner.

Went out to hang some snares this morning and as I'm pulling up to edge of field we see something out in the field about 150 yds. Couldn't tell if it was just a clump of dirt or what, cornstalks were kind of hiding it. Then we notice it was moving a little but still not sure what it was. I got my .243 out of truck and put my scope on it and I saw a tail wagging up in the air. I thought dang there's a coyote digging a hole or something so I grabbed some shells, loaded the gun and took a knee and got it back in the scope but it still didn't look right...then I saw a second tail. Now I'm thinking WT ? So I turn up my scope and watch for a minute and realize it's 2 fox doing the nasty They were stuck butt to butt lol. Gotta say that's a first. Eventually they separated and ran off to my woods. Did get some snares hung in some good spots though, might get one of them in one.

Lol.

"Don't shoot bro"

Sticksender, That double corner has been the demise of many coyotes over the last several years.

One this weekend. Still only running 1/2 dozen cables. Can't seem to find the time…….At east this one is not orange!!!!!

Gilley, you should feel bad for interrupting them!!!!! :p Been hearing lots of reports of red fox sightings and breeding in the last week. I have a family member that is a District Biologist. He gets all kind of calls from people that……lets just say….has NO clue. SO, I get to hear some good stories. He got of call from a guy in Hamilton Co. that apparently had a pair "locked up" in his back yard. He called wanting to know "what to do about it". He couldn't understand how they got "tangled up" like that……... :rolleyes:

I saw a nice big red trot across a back pasture edge about 100 yards behind the house. Stood out big time in the snow. Later saw it 4 total times, even cutting down a wooded edge 25 feet from the house. First one I've seen here in a while and making the rounds.

Very nice Yaz!!! One day closer to spring fishing:)

You got that right!!!! Its not been a bad winter, but I'm already ready wishing open water and warm days!

This is how my warped mind works….. This coyote has made a routine of about every other or third day, making his rounds around the pond in the barn lot. This is a small lot with fence all around. He is coming in, and going out the main gate we go in, and out of every day to feed. So snaring the main gate would be a PIA. I decided I would try to catch him on the ice……Those clumps sticking out would be an easy place for a simple scent post. Might even set two, with one a dirt hole in the bank. Since the lot is fenced all around, I would put the traps on fairly large drags. The whole reason for the drag……..This is where the bulls stay in the winter. I could just imagine the LOOOOONNNGGGG night an old coyote would have fending off the "Boys" till I go there the next day. THATS the REAL reason I want to set it!!!!

Puppy needs a necklace. Get him yaz!

good catch Yaz!

I caught a nice coyote last night. Post a picture as soon as possible!

I sense a good head stompin' at Yaz's place...

nice one DP!

congrats on another

Good snag, Sol!!

Nice catch Solomon. That's a good looking dog.

Way to stay persistent YB!!!!! Nice catch.

To all of you that caught varmints the last couple weeks.....good catches! h.h.

Nice dog DP. I pulled all my traps and snares last week. I just seem to have too many other things going on right now. besides the last 3 I have caught have had bad fur. Their guard hairs on their neck are completely bare and rubbed badly. I ended up with 17 yotes, 2 fox and a handful of accidental opossums and coons. Time to get out shed hunting and prepping for turkey season.

Congrats on a very productive trapping season PB:)

Good season PB! After 3, and too many coons to count, I hung up my snares. There hadn't been a coyote track on the place since the last one I caught. Even talking to all the surrounding neighbors, they have not seen or heard one for a long while. Well………I drove back the long way to feed the bulls tonight, and this is what I seen. Back in action for a bit!!!! Hope to snag at least one more before the ground softens up too much to drive back.

Thats my snare, along with several "used" ones just to the left of the steel post. Its soaking in the hole tonight!!

Waiting and watching with anticipation! You guys are knocking it out of that park.

Gotta love snares and snow!

You are about to hit that goal!!!! Be proud to catch a yap in steel this time of year DP. They are tough, seasoned critters that are hard to fool this time of year. Congrats!!!
