I have noticed that after they see a buddy stuck in one they shy away from them, moved them around a lot, since I am new to it and I turkey hunt every day of the season, do you guys keep running them in turkey season?

If you have that many yard dogs running your property then catching them may be just what you need to do Use offset jaw traps and teach them to stay away via the sore foot method When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

If you have that many yard dogs running your property then catching them may be just what you need to do Use offset jaw traps and teach them to stay away via the sore foot method You are speaking the truth. I have 4 labs that are kennel dogs. They are good 99% of the time but once a year one will go on a walkabout. Same guy who owns the yard dogs has her in his yard or calls me to come get the pup. It isn't worth it to have him mad about sore footed dogs.

Nobody around me traps. For me the risks outweigh the rewards. On a happy note, I have taken out 5 egg eaters on 200 acres. Will move traps this weekend and try to take out some more before nesting season.

She's a rabbit chasing machine and only let's me pet her. I feed her cat food everytime so she's my buddy. Never seen a dog limp more than a couple days because of a trap

Ordered 4 more traps today so hopefully by next weekend I can start battling the coyote population better. Since Christmas I have shot 2 yotes deer hunting and trapped 2 over the last week. 👍. Unreal how many coyotes are out there…

Some traps get Irontrail trapline hound hell coyote gland, some get irontrail fox trot, some get urine. And one usually in the middle of the line gets cavens gusto I use a bait and a lure at each set. Probably need to take notes on what catches to see if a certain bait or bait/lure combo works best

But traps not going off. Said he thought something must be getting under pan. He literally had to bang on trap to make it go off. Then he proceeded how he has been putting mesh pan covers under the trap and all!! Doesn’t the name “pan cover” kind of give away how to use them??

I freshened these 2 traps up yesterday with just a globe of beaver meat in the hole. Amazing how many are out there. Got a friend that wants to call them and shoot em at night so I may take him soon as I have never done that.

At the end of the video check out the rats and rabbits in the briar patch 10-15 yards from trapped coyote. I'm sure they were cheering for me.

It’s hard to get the open traps blended natural looking on a new set. I will try again tomorrow and the next several days. Did see a different bobcat track today about 20 feet from one of the traps so maybe he will come back…

I have not done so well this year. What do some of y'all use to anchor your traps? DPs mainly.

Wolf Fang earth anchors. You will have to buy a driver to put them in. In soft ground you can push them in with your foot and the coons will never move them.

Not sure if it was a large coyote or a large dog but you could tell it wasn’t giving up! 🤷‍♂️. I guess if it’s a dog hopefully he gets home and someone can help it but if a coyote I guess it will eventually starve to death since he can’t sneak up on anything. First time this has happened…. Hate it for the animal.

Saw they had stopped up a 15” metal culvert so I set up 2 footholds on drowning cables. Previous job a couple of weeks ago everything came on 330’s at castor mounds or feed piles. Dam break with a foothold went untouched while the 330 produced 3 adults with one pregnant female carrying 2 kits. Female this morning was nursing so there is a couple more dying as we speak. This location they have a 36” plastic culvert with debris 1’ high for 10-15 feet inside the pipe. If I have to set it it’s going to be tough water is deep and the mud (slop) is deeper. They brought an excavator in and replaced the culvert before removing the beaver. ALWAYS remove the beaver first. Digging things out is temporary at best and makes the trappers job more difficult. "Cull" is just another four letter word...

Managed to get my thumb in one today setting one to get some measurements. Luckily it wasn’t a full send snap but believe me, the lock up is intense. Couldn’t step on the levers and managed to get some regular setters on the levers enough to get loose. Took a couple of minutes and I gave a 1/4” intention the width of the jaw face on both sides of my thumb. Last edited by k bush; 03/31/24 05:23 PM. "Cull" is just another four letter word...

I ended up twisting a jacket up like you would a wet towel to pop someone. Smacked him in the neck and it wrapped around him long enough for me to grab him. Wasn't to hard to do since he kept trying to stab me in the face.

Being able to use them with one hand could really get a fella out of a bind

Welded up a bunch of drags with 6ft of chain to use instead of anchors. Kind of excited to try something different. I'll be in the woods mostly so I think it will work good. I'll mainly be using blind sets so I want to keep my trails intact best I can
