this is on an area we have a special,use permit to,do some trap testing on. bad part is a hike out of here but I don't worry about messed with coyotes , the Perils of testing small traps for coyotes

Anyhow we just set this up as the deer hunting is slowing down in here, had a coyote barely and a big coon . The boy was happy to get back to the truck but is having a lot of fun and now knows trappin ain't easy. 1.75 victor soft catch and coyotes oh boy!

Temps went from 64 yesterday down to 30 this morning and winds blowing 20-25 MPH. Temps dropping all day critters should run tonight!

Saturday was high of 72, Sunday got chilly and today is in the upper 20s for highs and 10-11 for lows.
Congrats on the catch.

what type of special use permit

[trappincoyotes39]

Tman a permit to trap with the intended traps on said permit.

In missouri you apply for a special use permit to,trap,on conservation ground.

Thanks fox man, the boy is learning trapping is hard work at times but as you can see by his smile he enjoys our time afield a lot. he hiked up out of there with the big coon, while dad took out the coyote and some other stuff.

Those little soft catch traps sure ain't what I am used too for coyotes Been many years since I set 1.75 for a coyote on purpose . The rubber pad really makes them more like a 1.5 coil in size. I have the pan tension cranked down for sure.

We went from 43 on Sunday to 6 on Monday. Two of us were on a large marsh getting some pushups setup. It was 6 degrees when we started and 9 for a high when we were done with about 30 mph for winds so things iced up pretty fast. we were out setting today and with it being 28 degrees it was a lot better.
