I knew it was just a matter of time that we would have Coyote vs. pets problem. I have heard them down in the cut over behind my house for a couple of years but have until now had no problem. The other morning I let the little dog out as always. I heard a terrible ruckus outside and ran out to see a yote attacking our 10 year old Minnie snauzer. It ran off and Laci limped toward the house. I have never trapped but am a longtime outdoorsman, bowhunter, flyfisherman. I purchased 5 Minn. Trapline MB550 and look forward to terrible revenge on some local yotes Any advice is much appreciated. Controlling my scent while setting out the traps want be and issue and I plan to use cheap dogfood as bait unless someone advises me otherwise. One part isn't clear to me. With this trap I will take a long steel rod and drive the Chain all the way into the ground? Just driving the chain itself in the ground will hold the yote?
