Good to know, thanks John. I HATE ticks

Blind set, female with milk

John, whats up with all the bark peeling off those trees?

The coyote pulled it off. They usually chew on anything they can reach

Did t catch crap today - been slow

John I am usually trapping for coyotes in roads or fields. Do u trap in woods much? I got a yearly scrap area in pretty woods the dogs hit a lot after first of year - thinking that would be good spot to trap

If u trap in woods - do you just cover your pan w leaves ?

Yea. Try a piss post set around that scrape maybe. I usually take scissors and blend everything in best I can cutting up leaves and what not. I pulled everything yesterday just to take a break a week or two. When I start back I'm gonna mainly use blind sets on trails. I honestly believe with this hot weather I'll do better putting out alot of blind sets versus doing dirt holes with baits and lures. I'll still use a couple piss post sets also. On my blind sets I use a stepping stick to help guide their foot. I really like to set up on a part going up hill. Ill cut out a step in the trail to set my trap in. Going up hill like that ill always put my stepping stick above the trap hoping they'll go for the flat spot on the other side. They'll usually use the step going up the hill if that makes sense

I doubt they traveling as much in this heat - I will pull mine by first of next week - they may not even hit the roads right now

What do u mean by a piss pot set ?

Thanks John

It can be a clump of grass, a old log sticking out next to a trail. Anywhere you see coyote sign like tracks or scat where trails intersect is a good spot for a piss post. Just set a trap with a clump of grass, log, rock whatever to put urine on next to sign basically. A dog will help you find and mark those spots also

Thanks

Nothing again today

Very slow - but I did catch one possum today

One of my dps was pulled out of ground and food gone

Catching some cat food thieves for my mom

Nice he almost slipped out.. I went to trying a big marshmallow in my dps to try and stop being robbed

If they start stealing your marshmallows, put marshmallow cream on it and they're screwed!!! They'll break a leg, every time.

It was slow for me - caught 1 large Coon and a few possums in about 6-7 days trapping

Im 2 opposums and a coon since I got that last coyote. Tried to setup around a fesh cut hayfield yesterday but the rain ran me off after only getting two traps set.

It raining lot here right now

What are you using in your dps right now? I worked some last week and ants ruined my baits. Set 7 today with just corn and a squirt of fish oil about a foot away just to give them some scent to follow. Don't know if it will work or not but its a long weekend so I figured I needed to at least try.
