I’m not. These beavers are backing up water and ruining acres of farmers fields. It is nuisance control work. If someone could find a way to concentrate their work and use it where it’s needed that person could make a bunch of money. Thanks for your input

Thanks for subscribing Joe! Coyotes have been slow, but glad you’re enjoying the catches

Think they were set 10-11 days on that first piece. A few sets of tracks showed back up, but nothing like the amount of sign that I set on originally. I’ll trap that place again in a couple months, but decided to pull up and add a small line right close to the house

They also had active pecan harvest and logging going on when I was there so I was real limited on where I could put sets without risking equipment loss. Hopefully both of those things will be a non issue when I make it back out

@@MidGaPred I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir here, but 3 weeks is the minimum time I’ll leave sets. We learned it sometimes takes 3-4 weeks for coyotes to get comfortable with sets or make their rounds again. Where my son traps and professional trapper comes in for 2 weeks and pulls. My son goes in right behind him and will have first night catches. Why? That coyote finally came back through or finally got used to something new in his area. Even the professional told me son he’ll set on sign, then doesn’t see anymore sign until he goes to pull. We’re just part time trappers so we set and leave it at least 3-4 weeks. Those coyotes know when somethings been disturbed or added and it sometimes takes that long before they get used to it.

Most of these if buried deeper would illicit a digging response IMO. This is baked red clay and is all I can do to get a 6” pipe in the ground so baits and lures are either on top of the ground or right under. I seem to only get this rolling response in the summertime when weather is hot
