I am interested in this also. I have a printout that I tape to mailboxes & gates in the area that reads as follows:
*NOTICE TO PET OWNERS*
THIS IS JUST A NOTICE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I WILL HAVE COYOTE TRAPS SET ON MY PROPERTY FROM XX/XX/XX - XX/XX/XX.
I DO NOT WISH TO CATCH ANY PETS SO I AM NOTIFYING HOUSEHOLDS IN THE AREA.
THANK YOU
I make this large enough that I get three per 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. I wrote this from the landowners perspective & said "my property" to avoid confusion that I may try to trap their land. I also add a few days on each end of the dates.
I do not post every area that I trap. Ironically, I caught 3 dogs all last season. Every one of the dogs were caught on private property in areas that were posted with warning signs.
I would like to hear about what others do.

Here is a sign that I made on the computer. Should do the trick. I printed it and then put in a gallon zip lock for waterproofing. Attachments:

how do you keep the weather from ruining your signs made of paper?

How about laminating and use cap nails or staple gun....stand up to the weather a little better. You can get the sheets from Walmart. I have done this in areas where coon and small game hunters frequent but I wait until late in their season.

all we can use for adc work is snares and the belisle footsnare. I use the wording " TRAPS " as the common folk dont know what snares are in these parts. (all yuppies)

How about printing them on paper the the feds do? It is like a cloth paper kind of like house wrap . It last for along time in rain ,snow and sunlight. Mel
