Default Finally Snow in the Forecast!

Wednesday -11 with 2 to 4 cm.....Thursday -13 with 5 cm.....Friday -15 with <1cm.

I don't know about anyone else but it's been very slow around here the last while and nothing is coming into my baits. All of my catches lately have been in fence crossings, etc but only one or two here and there. There's nothing much moving at all and I'm having a very poor catch rate for the number of snares that I've hung. Hopefully this bit of snow changes things a bit.

Have to say that this year I have hardly seen any Coyotes while out hunting or ice fishing. Don't know why for sure (wolves?), but I doubt it's because of the snow. Hope I'm wrong and things pick up for you Dave.

Quite the opposite here , every Tom , Dick and Harry has a call now and the dogs don't like the taste of electronic rabbit . Good for me tho , my snares are working 24/7 and those call shy yotes might refuse the odd snare but theres always another waiting for him down the trail . Kinda caught the resident bunch , hoping some more move in soon .
