Just goes to show you that what works for some doesn't work for others.


Thanks!.....I’ve caught a couple of them by the whole foot but a couple have barely been caught by the toes. Is that just the luck of how they step on the pan or is there something I can do to get more whole foot catches? I’m lucky I didn’t miss that last one.


What pan tension are you running? If you're getting toe catches it means they aren't getting their full weight on the pan before the trap fires. I run mine at 3.5 lbs.

You'll still get a toe catch every once in a while but most will be deep catches with their foot still touching the pan.

Zoom in on this cats foot. Even as light as a cat steps they still put their weight down on those front feet when investigating a set. When your pan tension holds until they get the weight down it results in deep catches that hold.



Here's a BIG (32 lbs) gyp coyote buried up in one of my old double sets.



The crew running with me that morning! God I wish it was that cold right now.

Good Lord! I haven't set a coyote trap in 2 years now except while teaching classes but digging through these old pics has got me wanting to go make some sets.

Around 3 lbs.....It's the MB-550's the way the come right out of the box. I tested all of them after waxing and they were all firing close to 3 lbs give or take a little. A couple of the catches were good deep catches but a couple weren't. I got them though so I guess that's what counts the most. grin

What's a "gyp" coyote? Cool bobcat pic..... thumbup

Gyp is what we have always called a female dog. I never could stand to hear folks call them a bitch.

Day 9……Total to date: 12 coons, 2 possums, 5 yotes

Picked up a female possum on this morning’s pull.



This one was carrying around some really little ones still.



I also saw a turkey hen moving through the woods but didn’t see any poults with her.



Something did rob one of my sets. It’s my fault. When I started digging the hole I hit a root or something and it caused it to go in at an offset angle. I just went with it and sure enough the animal dug into it from the same angle and missed my pan. My pan was to his left. Not 100% sure it was a yote though. It’ll be back hopefully.

Actually, in dogman terms, a gyp is a female canine that has never had pups. A bitch has had pups before.

Day 10……Total catches to date: 13 coons, 3 possums, 5 yotes

I caught another young female possums full of newborns. That’s interesting since I was catching ones with babies nearly ready to leave the pouch a month ago. They must have been bred later than the others.



I also caught this male coon that was missing a big patch of hair off of his back. Upon further inspection I noticed this wound. What do y’all suppose happened? Fighting? Yote tried to get him??


I also had another one of my yote sets worked without a catch. This one pulled a pretty slick move and just dug into the hole from the backside of my set. That dead log that’s broke in half was originally enact with my trap on this side of it. The yote just dug him a brand new hole from the other side.

Possum have a pretty long breeding season. Basically year round. Most of the ones I caught with young the size of those you posted were in Dec and Jan though but that was when trapping season ended in Feb. I usually see most of the young adults leaving the mother around turkey season in April or may so that's about right for late fall early winter breeding. I see the young ones all year in smaller numbers though.

You're saving a bunch of turkey nests with those coon and possum catches. Will be interesting to see how many yotes you get off that 500. How long are you going to run on it.

Probably around 15 days or until things go cold. If I’m still seeing yote activity then I may trap a little longer if it doesn’t rain a bunch. I really don’t have enough traps to put them out like I’d like to on this property. I’ve got 12 out but there’s several more good locations that need traps set out on them. I also don’t have any double sets at any locations like I should have. I’d say I could set out another 12 traps pretty easy on this property.
