Lt grey you should no better than to put pictures like that it does nothing to help us with the antis trying to stop trapping On both sides of the border The post was about nuisance trapping coyotes. Not fur trapping. They are two totally different worlds and that is part of the job. The coyote wars thread is just that, war on coyotes and everyone knows, war is he!!. Yes I know what the post was about we are full swing in are nuisance beaver program but we don't post pictures That will hurt all traping some day if you don't. Think so keep posting your pictures

This is a interesting thread LT. Tis the season for coyote control. I really like reading on coyote control during the warm months. It seems that a lot of trappers have their favorites when it comes to coyote trapping, lure, set technique, ect, ect. I'm headed into a fairly remote area, will be trapping out of a tent camp. The objective is to kill as many coyotes as possible before they move cow calf pairs into the area in about 3 weeks. I will post pics on here when I get home. I'm not a fan of sweet type lures and yes I know they work at times but feel meat and gland based is still king whether they are hungry or not. One of my favorite summer lures is the tongue and brains of a sheep ground and aged for a week in hot weather, then I add 2 teaspoons of zinc valerate powder and 4 ounces of good coyote urine. If it gets real hot out I will mix in a small amount of melted lanoline. You all have a good one. Andy, I for one, and I hope I speak for a good many trappers, appreciate your contributions to any thread on trapping, coyotes in particular. What you write comes from experience. That said, this is as one pointed out a thread on coyote control. Not meant to be a fur trapping thread, per say. Year round control work may not be the best loved part of trapping, yet it is a part. It isn't for everyone. I never hide the fact that I am an ADC trapper and that means I am a "hired gun" ,if you will. You catch and at times kill whatever someone 'hires' you to do. And that's young, old, pregnant females, etc. It isn't some romantic notion of 'mountain man fur trapping in the wilderness...' It's an all out elimination, any way possible. But coyotes, like weeds, aren't eliminated...they're managed. And managed to numbers that ranchers, farmers and hunters can live with. Until next time... Looking forward to your contribution, Andy.

I got a friend who got word I was taking deer scraps from local processers for bait piles. He stops at my place and asks me if I want guts and parts. I told him bring it on! Andy the fox here hit this pile harder then the coyotes do! Aggressive suckers! The pig livers go first then beef liver and hearts. Hooves are a hit too. You are so correct about the pick! First 4 piles I drug buy hand and thought, "there has got to be a easier way then this...whew!" That's some serious moving! lol I have found dens of coyote and fox on this property and the funny thing is...they use hooves like chew toys and are found at every single den! This hoof stew melt down I hear is the nastiest smelling stuff out there! I used LT's Liquid draw station last winter and they love wearing it like cologne , I poured half in a hole and set the cam on it, ill check it in 2 weeks and post pics. either im becoming a wolf or my olfactory senses are dying because dead stuff don't bother me as much as it used too! I put a long day in yesterday loading up bait stations, I got home and stepped out of the truck and my wife was like "@#$% NO!" leave your clothes outside, don't even bring them in the garage, i'll bag um and get um! lol Shes a wolf too because she said she could still smell me after I showered, here it wasn't me...IT WAS MY CELL PHONE! LOL! I posted those pics from my cell phone and something stinky got on it, stank went through the gloves I spose ! she tracked it all the way down to the phone!! then wiped it down with Clorox wipes! now my phone smells like a @#$%$#@ swimming pool! Good luck on the line A.W

I think it's only fitting to post the next series of pics on this thread. One week from heading to summer pasture Killed and fed on by a pair of adults with pups. Good trail leading to the calf. I put one deep step down set baited with cat here in the bottom left of pic and another step down 40 feet off the calf at the other end of this trail using horse for bait there. 78 degrees out and dry. No gland lure of urine here because of the cattle. Bait with skunk mixed in only. Crowding the calvs out and the coyotes in. A look at the other set from the backside. #2 Victor/Monty off set 4 coiled, small jaw spread in calving pastures only for me. Bedded closer to the hole than normal for obvious reasons. Completed set, rougher the better if pups are involved. Trail they used to come in to the kill site, we are about 200 yards from the dead calf here. I picked that rabbit brush for my backing at this set. Finished set with foot guides in place, the large clawed of dirt that is in front of the hole has a small smooth spot behind it, if I make a catch here it will be by the left foot I would about bet. In the next week or so we will see what happens. Maybe I posted these picks for nothing and then again it might get interesting.
