How's everyone doing with Coyotes?
Hung 7 snares at one bait site last week and picked up 3 coyotes. Two of them were pups so that sounds good. Two days ago I hung snares at two other sites but the coyotes have avoided the bait site for the time being. Hoping for a bit of fresh snow forecasted for Saturday to freshen things up a bit. How's everyone else doing?

Have one bait in at home and only one coyote in 7 days now. First week of December looks like a bit of a cool down in my area.
Foothold line was doing well but 10 days now without a sniff.

I did a leg hold line from oct1 to now , 2 dog , 5 yotes ,6 fox and one squirrel on 15 dirt hole sets . Not a hair since November 5 . To many gut piles in the bush I guess. My first year with leg trapping so I'm pretty happy about that . Pulled my line late night and switched to snares.

Hey guys, I don't trap, but I sure hate coyotes. Thanks for your persiatence in killing these pests. I've always believed trapping is a lot more effective than hunting. Hopefully the temps drop and we get some snow soon!
Keep up the good work. Hope y'all make a pile of cash to pay for your gas and time!

I've had one bait going for a week and caught 4 coyotes. It does seem a little slow. I've been stockpiling bait for when I get more time.
50% mange so far.

Been extremely slow for me snaring sence the begging of November. Caught about 40. Running 7 baits limited tracks. A lot slower then last year. Majority being pups which is good. But 25 percent Mange and mites.

Well, it's nice to know what other guys are experiencing. I expected things to be slow for a few days after hanging a bunch of snares so it's too soon for me to figure things out.
I think that super moon may have had something to do with it being a little slow. Lack of snow can't be great either. Every 50 feet that I walked hanging snares the other day I had mice crossing my path. They have to be easy pickings for the coyotes. Tomorrow I'll be hanging more snares at my first bait site and then wait on the snow that we are supposed to get tomorrow night. Maybe that'll spruce things up.

Not at the locations that I've trapped the last four years, they have gotten nicer every year. Hopefully you'll experience the same. I Started trapping a sheep farm this year for the first time. Caught two so far. First one shoulder mites and the second one okay but had red belly. It seems to me that Cleaning out the infected ones has a long term positive effect on the rest of the coyotes in the area.

Had a good first check....snares out on 3 baits. Got 8 the first week, one was just crap house luck, I threw up half dozen snares at some fence crossings with the kid when I was dropping off bait for the first time, and had one caught when I went back to hang snares at the bait. Looking good so far, and hoping this cold weather gets them moving more. I was going to set up 2 more baits this week, but decided I'm getting soft and going to wait until this deep freeze is done, lol

Anyone else catching lots of ginger coloured coyotes this year? Seems to be a lot in the area we snare with no black hair to speak of.
