I scouted around this weekend for some fresh sign to set out on. After covering ALOT of ground, I found a few tracks using a washed out field terrace to cut across a cotton field. I set three sets on Sunday afternoon (100 yards from 1-3) on the terrace. A trench set with two traps on each end and a very minor dirt hole in the middle with a single trap.
As I drove over there this morning, I thought about what MarkK once said in regard to normally catching after 4 or 5 days. Sure enough, this big male was on the first trench set he came to. He wasn’t that dirty, but blended in perfectly with the soil color as I drove up on him. I hope the thrill of discovering a trapped coyote doesn’t fade in the future, because it’s still very exciting now! One more before New Year and I’ll accomplish the 2020 goal I set for myself.
