Because I don't play!!
I started a predator control regimen last year. I was namely targeting coyotes for the deer but wasn't going to turn down 'coons, 'possums and the such for the turkeys.
While some may not agree with the catching and killing some of these animals it is a much needed thing. Look at the pic that shows the teeth. And some wonder why yotes are such a detriment to wildlife and livestock!!!!
With that said, I started setting my traps around the first of March for these coyotes and the such. Other than a few 'coons and 'possums the yotes have been non-existent, which is a good thing, even tho I have got a few pics of one yote.
Last week I moved a few traps into an area where I had gotten these few pics. After a couple of hours of sitting in fog this morning that would rival London I gave up turkey hunting and went to check my traps.
As I got into where these taps were set I could hear the sweet music of that trap chain!! I knew I had something with some "substance" to it. As I got to where I could see the trap spot I seen a nasty yote lunging and jumping to get loose! I was as giddy as a teenage boy at an all girls cheer leading camp! Back foot two toe catch!! Best part, it was a female!!
It was an exercise in futility for this yote. It was caught and only had a few minutes before it was gonna be "pushing up daisies". This yotes fawn killing days have ceased!!
