So far I’ve caught a possum, a poodle and a coyote...not on top yet but climbing 😂 I’ve got to get the bedding process down better, having a time getting them tight. What trap are you using ? If they make a trappers cap to fit it give it a try.It let's you really pack inside the jaws without getting pinched. Not for high production trapping but will help you get better at it. I bought one for 550's after I had a coon digging everything up in a sandy spot this summer. Don't use it all of the time but have it when needed "Cull" is just another four letter word...

I hear folks talking about how big coyotes are all the time and 99% of the time there's nothing to do but smile and nod. I figured coyotes up North and out West would be much larger but read a thread on trapperman several years ago with a bunch of high volume coyote trappers and 30lbs is pretty much nation wide average for coyotes.

It's now a flat set with a transplanted clump of grass instead of a bait stick. They've chewed up two bait sticks LOL Figured I'd show the remake. Transplanted a clump of grass for backing and punched 3 holes. Last edited by k bush; 12/08/19 09:50 PM. "Cull" is just another four letter word...

Kind of wondering if a local dog killed the chicken though. Ate it right there by the coop. I figured most wild animals would haul it off before devouring. Either way I have seen fox and yotes on camera so I’d like to take them out! Don't blame me for your bad decision-
