Yote Problems...

[Box of frogs]

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.

Ordered two of those dog proof raccoon traps.
They work. Caught one the first night I had them out around the feeder.
Thanks BoF

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.

Why the hate for the M1 Carbine? They say it won't kill a deer, and a 357 is the minimum, but the 22lr has poached more deer than hunters have shot legal. Both the 357 and 30 Carb have impressive ballistics, so of course I load for both......

Reminds me of when I started doing 'on the farm slaughter', folks would say they used a 22 to take down a steer of 1200 lbs, I'd say back, why do you use an 06 to take a 150# deer. They didn't have much to say after that. For the most part I think folks are way overgunned for what they hunt, except game that can fuck you up, Grizzlies and the like, then I think too much is just enough.

300 BO is scary on hogs, as in it takes more than 1 shot most times, I was told Hogs eat people when they can...

I don't load it anymore, as subs didn't function well when quiet
