Coyote Neck Snare/Trap Device

[Davexx1]

Anyone ever use one of the "Collarum" coyote trapping devices?

It is essentially a spring loaded, pull trigger fired device that slings a cable snare loop over the coyote's head, and catches him alive. There is a video that shows a couple of coyote catches and how the device works.

These may be legal where steel leg hold traps are not.

Thats pretty cool! I doubt it would ever work for me but its different!

Leg hold traps are not legal in Fla. Thought this might be a good alternative if it actually works.

Dave,

Are there many trappers in FL? Or should I say "snarers"?

I don't know of any coyote trappers of any kind in Florida.

Coyotes are plentiful around here. It has been raining most afternoons and the next morning there are fresh coyote tracks all over the sand/dirt trails and roads on many tracts. I am in the woods 2-4 days a week and see fresh tracks all the time.

Saw two big coyotes running together last week, but couldn't get on them with my 22 mag. They looked like two big German Sheppard dogs running across the hills.

I thought about trying snares as I know where there is a coyote crossing under a barbed wire fence. Leg hold traps are not legal in Fla, but a person may be able to get a permit to trap coyotes. I don't know much about using leghold traps, just what I have read.
