Like so.
With this method the drag pole will force a Deer to step over while a Coyote will duck under the pole.
Note. no need for support wires. And the catch usually leaves the site immediately and tangles up within sight, so minimal disturbance at the set.
We have a much lower Yote population they you folks down south so it often wasn't productive to reset a site, but if there was sufficient sign in the area we would and those resets were effective. |
actually alot of young deer will duck under the pole also and with dispatch type snares you want a longer snare and solid anchor so depends on what type of snare your using I rarely use drag poles anymore used to use lots though.
