Trapper Glatzer

Doing some nuisance work for a fellow that has been having problems with his chickens disappearing. Set a couple MB550'S where his gate was to his chain link fence. Went to check them this morning and saw 2 coyotes in the traps. While getting my choke stick and stuff to remake the sets, I was walking towards them when the normal colored one was trying to pump up a 24" rebar stake I used to hold the trap since that trap was set in front of a compost pile. I smirked to myself until I saw the rebar jump up out of the ground and that coyote was off and running before I could cross the ground to them. Notice the Big male black that was held by one toe. I didn't have the luxury of a lot of camera work as he was doing his best to pull the earth anchor up dispatched the male and reset the trap. Love those earth anchors, but when I checked where the female was I found the dirt was more compost than red clay like the other traps were in. My fault but I had driven that rebar stake all the way in and down as far as I could. My fault,
I should have just moved and set in another area. So if anyone around Athens find an MB550 attached to a long rebar stake, It's mine! Biggest coyote I have ever caught.
He is longer than my fleshing beam by at least a foot and right now he is in my freezer until I decide how to finish him.
