What I need to trap coyotes

[TheLegend]

I would like to snare some yotes. What would I have to do in order to snare them? licenses? Education?

It would help to know where you are , because every province has different rules. Try the Canadian trappers forum , lots of help there.

Alberta. Would be snaring them in the Ministik lake bird sanctuary.

"As far as I know"....you can't set up snares on crown land without a trappers license and a registered trap line...."to the best of my knowledge". If you set up snares in Ministik you could get into a tonne of trouble.....and would likely catch a few neighbourhood dogs.
