First dry run in 18 days
I will pull traps this weekend if not sooner

I get dry runs all time - why are you pulling traps and when u reset will it be in same area? Just trying to learn. If u ever unset traps due to wetness - do you just leave trap sitting in that spot and reset when dries?

I hear u want to set up coyote traps at intersections and maybe field edges - most convenient path or where there scat r tracks. If you ever see lot of coyotes in woods - do you ever make any wooded sets? I saw 3 diff dogs in short time around buck scrape on camera and as soon as it dries - want to put trap in that area

I’m pulling them because I’ve pretty much cleaned up what’s been on our place
The last three days I had pig catches in my traps
So far in 18 days
15 coons
10 coyotes
2 bobcats
3 pigs
I’ve seen tracks of two dogs that I haven’t caught and that lets me know the deer and turkeys have a reprieve from harassment for a while
Rabbits are thriving on our place and we have a couple coveys of quail and this tells me our predator population is way down
The areas you mentioned to trap are all good but pay attention to where predators are crossing the road or maybe traveling just a short distance on a road...both these are my favorite places and where I make most of my catches....if you find their regular travel routes you can catch them

Thanks

You had a lot of catches - congrats

Just put out 30 DP's today across 400 acres......

First day's pull........

Good job CNC !!!

Thanks man......Caught them on honey and cheap dry cat food.......I thought I'd drizzle some honey onto the trigger so that some of the cat food stuck to it and so that the coon would stick to it if he tried to reach around it or anything.....Seemed to work pretty good......The dang ground is so wet right now though that its a booger getting the DP's to stick in the ground where they wont get pulled out before the coon trips it....The Z-traps help having that extra hoop on the stob but I'm still having to search for hard ground for any of them.....mostly having stick them into the roads and firebreaks
....

I pulled all my traps because i ran out of critters to catch and was tired of sloshing around in the mud......youre right....its hard to do anything with traps in the mud except get yourself and the traps muddier

2 more coons today for me......

Set 8 Coon traps today hopefully have a few caught in the morning

Nice work CNC!!!

I had 4 coon traps set this weekend and caught 1 coon yesterday and I hav 4 coyote traps set and caught one today. First coyote in about a month - I said I would post soon after last coyote so I will post fox and 2 coyote thru Skullworks soon. Moves me to 23 coon on this property since mid year last year and 4 possums. I been coyote trapping since September or so and hav 3 coyotes with 1 cat and fox. Mainly a weekend trapper until recently on the coyote - I can set traps in main road if not too wet and check before or after work.
Think I caught the dumbest coyotes in Clarke county cause it been slow - learned lot from you guys and my own stupid mistakes

Thanks!......Nothing on this morning's run......Hogs had messed with a couple traps......Gonna pull them tomorrow then redeploy again in a couple weeks

One Coon this morning

Caught 2 coons and 2 crack heads this weekend. Took the battery out of their truck and it got towed before I made it back out. I was told to just keep it so atleast I have that going for me....

🤣🤣🤣

2 coons today (1 male - 1 female).

Have a couple of my first ever dirt hole sets in the ground. They haven't been worked or dug up so I guess I have that going for me.

Put 4 DP traps out yesterday and 1 MB550 where I caught the other 2 coyotes. Didn't have time for more

Checked today and 1 coon, 1 possum in DP's

Nice Andalusia

Had 4 coyote traps out - caught coyote and fox today

Started adding multiple lures like u guys do recently and I took some of the obstruction I was putting around trap to funnel away like Pollwoll said and I started brushing trap in to make level r look better - first 2 coyotes I hav caught out of that trap and I been setting there long time and got in back to back days - rare for me - I think new things I tried helping that I got from u guys

Congrats!!
You're on them now!!
Still waiting on my first Bobcat and Fox.

Have you had any luck with your tire set?
