Trappers

[COYDOG]

hung 72nd coyote tonight.

Are you getting them in snares or traps? Caught a wolf in a coyote snare, had not been there long yet. Had any luck with getting coyotes to stick there heads in a conibear? Sounds like you should hit 100 soon.

Put up a coyote last night. Took me 3.5 hours, can't imagine doing 72! Things have been real slow around here since Christmas. This freakin weather is ticking me off! Needs to stay below freezing but would be nice to see a cold spell to get the fur moving around.

X2 there Bull!!

Picked up a black wolf in a snare set for coyote. Looked like there another 3 left in the pack, so hoping to hang up couple more of them.
Seems the marten have slowed down, the weather maybe?


COYDOG
How many snares do you have out and what is your catch ratio of sets to coyotes? You have got the right name

The snare wire was cut with sidecuters.

Looks they found the bait site and went for a look see and found a coyote.

Crappy, wish people would just respect another man's work. I have access to some land just west of Busby, I'm calling in some dogs out there. Are you trapping in that area or out of town..

most of the coyotes I get are snared. I do shoot the odd one if they are dumb enough and let me get close. Had a slow few days, no time to put out more snares after the good day on thursday. Got 15 out today. Only hung 2 today. I have never caught a coyote in a conibear. I dont think you would ever get them to stick there head in conibear unless it had mange or another sickness.

This weather is causing me grief. Sat out at the trapline for week waiting for cold weather to head upstream but no luck. Put out footholds instead and picked up wolf. Hope it gets cold soon. Running out of season soon.

Weatherman says -32 for next week, should feel like winter.

Hey, Northerners, you still around? How are things out your way?

[Thunder Elk Hunter]

First cat of the year. Got it in a 330 set and picked up 2 more coyotes. Good day on the line.

Had a good day and a bad day. Hung 9 more coyotes BUT I lost 5. Dont know what I was playn with but it tore the hell out of a couple snares. The tally is at83 coys.

[McLeod Valley]

I sure hope we get some cold weather soon , this is cutting into the lynx season big time!!!! But I did pick up a couple marten , a coyote and a nice black wolf yesterday!!!

[bullgetter]

The cold is coming! I have got to get some wolf bait out. With the warm weather the buzzards pick it clean. Hope the wolves come through this week. Marten season is done at 14 cause I hit my fisher quota early. Got 4 cats so far but they are coming in slow. Need some fresh snow to see sign.

[herc]

The marten are really slow on our line. Did fairly well in the first month and a half. Shut down for 2.5 weeks over christmas. Since new years we got 3 on 75 sets....

Luckily we got some snow couple days ago and we can finally see some tracks. Put out a slew of footholds and snares so hopefully we can put a dent in the wolf population.

[Thunder Elk Hunter]

Good day on the line again. Picked up another Lynx and a maten. Had cat traps out from the first of Dec and no luck until this week.

Thanks for posting that some of you set snares around your lynx cubbies. Caught a tom today in one of those snares set around the 330 set.

Well i got there today. hung my 100th coyote tonight. The cold weather is making the song dogs move. Still lots of room in my coyote shed for more. Have fun all!!!

[Razorback]

I pulled all the rest of my marten traps this week, i finally had some better luck,5 marten.cold fronts moving in could be why. We caught our first lynx of the season,330 coni . Does anybody know why the lynx in my area ar'nt turning completely grey? To warm? they have some grey on their backs but still mostly brown on the sides and belly.

Have been lucky enough to catch 2 fox and 2 coyotes in 330's over the years ... all in good shape , set on blind corners in thick brush .

[Thunder Elk Hunter]

The cold weather has got the coyotes moving. Good week on the line picked up 10 more coyotes.

Ya not a bad couple days. I got 125 hanging now. Got a stale bait which is hurting my count. It is usually a good producing area. I guess I will have to get something different for them to chew on. Talk to you all later.

[DUKE-1]

[COYDOG]

Man sure sounds like you guys are hanging a lot of coyotes. How big of an area are you snaring? Would love to see some pics. Things been going real slow for me. Tuesday I gotta take down all my marten sets cuz seasons over

[357xp]

yes sir, time to pull them traps

[COYDOG]

Well, I picked up some more coyotes today. The tally is now at 151. And for posting pics, your all just lucky that I can type what I do! Im not very good with computers. Talk to you all later.

[jim summit]

Cold weather got the fur moving, picked up a couple more marten and two coyotes. Pulled all my marten sets, kinda sad to think no more marten till next year. Oh well, have to focus on the coyotes. If I get 10% as many coyotes as COYDOG, I will be laughing all the way to NAFA.....

Who sent their fur to the feb auction?
Mine will be going to the may sale, hoping for good sale.

Time to dig out that ice auger.
