Wow...nice pics.
You guys got some beautiful pale colored coyotes. Nicely furred too. Where'd you say you were at again?

One of them looks like a wolf he's got such a large head and big ears.

You've cleaned up..........

I'm from Alberta I had a lot of fun catching those critters. Being out with my boys is priceless. Too bad they are not worth anything. I fgure it cost me about $10 a coyote by the time it was done.

Thanks for the kind words.

I could hardly clame tha t I wrote the book as this was my first year of hanging necklaces seriously. I have too many farmers asking me to get rid of their coyotes so I didn't have time to just set traps that were going to be froze in anyway. The boys had a lot of fun and I think learned something as The older one caught 2 in his own snare sets.

ErictheRed · April 25, 2008, 01:21:56 PM

Do you have any pictures of the snare set up prior to catching? I would love to see some. I get how you can set for a fence crossing, but the others set, don't seem as easy.

pitw · April 25, 2008, 04:42:25 PM

No I'm sorry I didn't take before pics.

I will take some this year. Up here in the snow they are relatively easy to set for as they follow there old tracks even in just a couple inches of snow. I like to walk around a bush and look for a spot that has 3 or more tracks heading in to the bush and then walk in the bush find where they all join up and set that trail. The less I have to use guiding sticks the better I like it but guide sticks certainly have their place.

ErictheRed · April 26, 2008, 10:32:14 PM

How would you do it if you didn't have any snow?

pitw · April 29, 2008, 12:29:54 PM

I do it much the same. Walk the edges of fields where I can see tracks[summer fallow, light land and trailcrossins] . Find the trail theyr'e using and set it. Up here waterholes attract coyotes before the snow flies as they need a drink so I pay particlar attention around them. Trail sets on known trails are good every year and I'm sure more than one of you has put a trap back where you caught them last year. So keep a log book to know where these places are from year to year, UNLESS you have a really good memory like mine :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:.
