[OKTrap]

Hey browning204, What was it you were wanting to know?

[OKTrap]

204 ... what information were you looking for?

Following is what the  day (12-08-07) held for myself, and my good friend Greg. Both are Male Yotes. This is Gregs' first year to trap ... therefore he is learning. And in learning ... he is a very good student. I will detail the pictures as they are posted. We got 2 more coyote today.

This is me & the 1st of the day.


This is Greg and the 1st yote of the day. Part of any handling of wildlife, is knowing proper handling techniques to keep from causing undue harm to the animal, or yourself.


This is the set where the 1st yote was taken. These next three pictures are of the set remake that Greg made for the first time. I think he did a pretty good job.

After coyote was removed. Severe Trap Circle.


Set remake


Remake blended to surroundings.


The first Coyote has first stage signs of Sarcoptic Mange on the tips of its ears. This is the only yote of 6 I have taken so far with signs of mange.


Me & the 2nd Yote of the day.


Greg & the 2nd Yote


Yotes are dangerous and fast, make no mistake about it or you will get injured for sure. The next two pictures were taken at a speed shutter setting, about 1 second apart. Notice the position between the first and second pictures. It only took Greg a single step toward the yote for him to turn around that fast.



I hope yall enjoyed ... I know Greg and I did.

[BasinBoy]

I thought about sticking my hand in the trap. Then i decided it was probaly a bad idea.lol

[cb223]

[OKTrap]

I could reply to this post and type until my fingers bleed, expressing how much I enjoy those photos. Seriously...live trapping pictures just have a way with me, and I cant get enough of em 

But with all due respect, I think the author of this thread and his question at hand are getting ignored here and buried behind a montage of "this is what I got today" pictures.

And please dont stop posting the pics, but I think they need to be put into a different thread. Unless they are being used to answer the guys question.

I'm not trying to be a hard ass...just starting to feel bad for the guy 

[trappinjohn]

Hey browning204, What was it you were wanting to know?

Yep, that's what I was thinking a while back.

[OKTrap]

I understand completely, and I myself have asked .204 what information he was looking for. The pictures were posted to kinda' show I might know something that could help 204.

I didn't mean to jack the thread, and as it was not my intent, I apologize for it.

But I'm still waiting to find out what information 204 was wanting.

And please dont stop posting the pics, but I think they need to be put into a different thread. Unless they are being used to answer the guys question.

Jim, could you move the pictures to nother post?

Thank you:

[FinsnFur]

Yeah I could move the posts but it would kill the thread completely, since I can't grab individual posts. I have to pick a point and take everything after it.

There's tidbits of info between the pic threads that I'd want to leave in here.
