They don't get much bigger than that. I got a 43 and 45 three days apart and I thought they were big. Great pic!

DAM!  Some of them look big enough to be wolves. Do you get more for them when they're that big? |

Ok but only when I'll flesh it because its in the freezer now already "skun".
For Eastern yotes... When they have that grey color... I say yes because they are the biggest on a sale so usually, its like that but a nice smaller western pale bring more then our big hogs.
Trying to smell more butts... She hates foxes... If I take one in my hands and move around.. she barks, jumps on it and on me and bite the foxes all the time.
She doesn't do that with coyotes.

that's a smoker.......
Got one the other day, its in the freezer. Probably high 40's, maybe 50.
There was a guy on Dobbins forum who does not believe the 50 plus pound coyote exists and was offering $100 for one.....
Stef, snare or footed?

Try to find him... We'll make money with him with our coyotes. Does he has lot of $100 ........ ;D Snare In fact, I was pretty proud of that catch (Did not have my camera with me) but believe me...LoL There was a coyote trail in cut alfalfa fields beside long grass strip. That trail was going up a hill and in the curve.... There was a big tall of dry grass only on 1 side of the trail. The trail was completely in the open and I was a little scared to block it too much on the other side of the trail so i put some tall dry grass on the other side of the snare "just 2-3" and added some more above and below the snare set to make it natural. Anyway, why I'm so proud is because its my first coyote killed with the Stinger completely in the open and it worked as good if not better then with a Ram Power snare. And to added a little spice.. The coyote was huge so I'm happy. Almost no damaged to the location and cable... He died very fast. The 200# Senneker commercial BAD did not open at all... Tells you lot of thing about the killing time. In fact.... There's a snare there now at the same spot so....... Can't wait to get another one on that spot again! Stef |

Here's one from the other day under that fence crawl under dead in a few minutes if not seconds...LoL  here's another coyote on the same crawl under of the pic above. But this one died the other side of the fence entangled very good around some good size trees. Anyway, with good snare set up you catch more then 1 coyote on a short trail so its an advantage in my book especially with coyotes. A= trail crawl under B= Snare is usually set there (not under that fence.. In front of it) C= Where I attached my snare  Sleeping close up  Stef |

Guys
Keep posting pics of location. Stef, that is a very helpful pic to someone who is going to try snaring for the first time this year. Is the snare connected directly to the fence?
Keep those pictures coming!

Yes... check the yellow spot "C"
On the side of that fence I'm working... its the only solid thing I could find.
Strong tree are preferred when you use a snare with a choke spring like the Stinger or Washer, pipe etc... disposable stake works well too in the open.
