Cool Snaring

Anyone started snaring coyotes yet? I've had some bait out in a few spots, just waiting for the deer season to be done, probably hang some snares next weekend.
I'll keep you posted...

Where are you located? Looking for coyotes to custom skin.

My trapline partner got home from school last night and went out to check "his" 3 snare's that are 1/4 mile from the house. He come screaming into the house "I've got one" and took off so fast that I had to find my own way out to where he was. I sat back and watched as he worked to bring this varmint to the shop.




46lb coyote is pretty cool.

Bob weigh's in at 74lb and couldn't quite get him off the ground.

What are you feeding them things... That's a huge coyote. Any idea how old he might be?
Once again, good work. I finally hung a few yesterday. I only wish it was a 1/4 mile away.

I'm not sure how to age a coyote so I'm not willing to guess it's age [I'd be wrong and you know what happen's when someone is wrong on this board]. The 43 1/2 pound three legged coyote I called in Oct 29th was 1 mile away from this one [so I'm thinking the gene pool may have something to do with it]. As for feed all the nice deer hunter's who take those never fail heart shot's have fed them pretty good around here.
