Slow and steady...another egg eater gone.

Good job Mark... u are working on em !

This is all from a 30ac piece of property where the owner lets me take a gobbler a year. But, it’s surrounded by a thousand acres of nonhunted nontrapped land that part of a “green space”.
I won’t start trapping my plantation until after quail season.

Got this grey last night. I'm after coyotes so he lived to see another day.

 

[Mark K]

Man he’s pretty!

Feisty too. Greys are way more aggressive than reds and most coyotes.

 

[Mark K]

Yes sir! I forgot how small and fiesty they are.

Beautiful animal , I also release them if I catch one , don’t seem to be many in my area , and yes they are feisty !

If a grey weighed 50 pounds or so he would be hard to deal with...LOL

I'm glad you boys are out there taking a few egg eaters and fawn killers out. I've enjoyed reading your post but now it time to get back in the game. Started Tuesday putting out sets behind the house. I've gotten three coyotes this week. A double on Wednesday and one last night. that's the good part but the bad part is I have missed two at least. I have trail cams on come of them and one coyote rolled around on a set and it didn't go off. I'll need to reset it tomorrow after church.

Awesome job on the coyotes!! I’ll consider myself a true trapper when I can consistently catch them. Cats, fox, and coon are no problem. Actually all my sets are for coyotes and the other critters keep clogging them up!!!

Here’s a horrible find this morning...a sympathetic deer hunter dispatched the suffering fox for me!
That was the second fox this week from sets set last Sunday.

Hate it when that happens!
When trapping for the live market, somebody shot a coyote for me. From $$ to worthless.

Never knew there was a live market for coyotes or are you referring to foxes?

 

[Mark K]

I think there’s still a live market for coyotes.

Save the poor trapped animals! Sounds like the idjits need to read up on the regulations and understand that it's unlawful to mess with an animal in someone else's trap.

 

[Mark K]

Yeah, he got an earful and was basically told not to come back from the landowner. I wasn’t happy and actually pulled some of my sets. Had a long talk with the landowner and reminded him we were doing each other a favor, him letting me turkey hunt and me taking predators off his property at his request. I put a lot of time, money, and effort into trapping. I do it for the challenge. Some places I get paid to do it, still it’s for the challenge. We came to an understanding and I was assured it would never happen again.

There is still a market for live coyotes...fox pens use them since the fox has gotten kinda scarce over the years.

 

[Mark K]

Haven’t posted in a couple days, the weather seems right but the critters just aren’t around. Except for possums! One yesterday morning and on this morning.

 

[mossyoakpro]

You are making a run at the possum king title!! LOL
