Yote Problems...

[shootbrownelk]

That treble hook idea would probably work, but I'd hate to come and check it to find the neighbor's dog trashing around on it. Just like those snares, they're indiscriminate killers. With a leg hold you can release collateral captures and shoot the coyotes.

Can you use snares in AZ? Where they come under fence is an ideal location.

I had a friend who would tether a chicken to a stake out in pastures at night. He had the chicken connect to another string he ran to the edge of the pasture where he sat with a .223, a little off straight downwind to the sides. He'd do this on full moons (pre good available NV days) and give the chicken a yank every 10-15 minutes to elicit some noises.

so the guy jerks his chicken in the moonlight? nothin to see here folks, move along!

Maybe we are going about this all wrong, maybe we should use liberal democrats as bait?

I’ve been looking at some body traps online.
I’ve never trapped game before but I have 7-8 raccoons that help themselves to my deer feeder on a regular basis.
I’d like to thin their population a bit. I might just have to send you a message for some tips on the subject.

A body trap the size for a coon will also kill a lot of incidental things just like a snare would. I suppose for coon you could mount them in a tree like they do for marten/fisher. Check state regs, some states they are for underwater use only/or prohibited.

They make traps specific for raccoons. The coon has to put it's hand inside the trap to get at the bait and the coon's hand get caught. I've not used them but seen them advertised in Fur Fish Game magazine.

You can also box trap coon, then any incidentals can be released easily. I got these 3 (and 1 bigger/huge one free last spring) the large one is coon size. Yotes and fox are too shy for a boxtrap.

Hey Mad Trapper, you said 'coon........

[bigwheel]

A wire top on the pens works fairly good. They usually jump in from the top.

That exact dog proof hand trap was in my inbox from Midway outdoors today.
I think this could be the way I go for trapping.
Need to check if coons are year round and what the trapping regs are versus hunting license.

Kid was taking the indoor dogs for a walk last night,

while walking down to the pit gate she encountered a yote sitting in front of it.

The gate is about 150 yards from here, the fucker didn't move out very quick either as they approached.

She got within about 25 yards of it before it left.

The two dogs are golden retrievers, not the small ankle biter types, but not aggressive dogs like the others.

She had a model 60 Smith with her, next trip out will be with an M1 carbine in tow.

I have shot the fuckers in front of that gate before from here with an ANPVS-4 on the rifle, about 10 PM at night.

I leave them there for the others to see and for someone else to eat.

The remains are always gone the next day, yeah they are left there dead, the 7.62X51 NATO does a bloody job on them.

The suckers do come out in the daytime way up in the pit about 600 yds. from the gate, seen them before from my hide.
