the only good yote is a dead yote

pdotson , you should share your tricks and secrets

Take quite a few pics lol. There has to be a few good ones in there

what are you using for bait?

We use lots of different baits. Just about anything you can buy from MB. http://www.minntrapprod.com/Trapping-Supplies/departments/378/ Also use natural things like gophers,squirrels,pigs anything a coyote would eat as well as trail set with no bait,

Just a couple observations. I trapped muskrats as a kid using traps that we put in tidal channels that drowned them as the tide came in. Kind of a slow stressful death.

I once observed a kill trail in deep snow where several coyotes kept harassing a doe chasing her for over a mile tearing out pieces of her hind quarters until she bled out. Hair and blood everywhere. I can't imagine the pain and fear this animal went through.
My daughters small dog was disemboweled by 2 coyotes in the back of her house about a month ago and had to be put down.

I routinely trap coons and coyotes now that are negatively impacting my interest in the deer on my property. Killing our fawns and stealing my corn.

As a result of coyote predation TDPW biologist attribute at least 30 to 40% of fawns are taken each year.

I must admit I generally feel some compassion for the animals as I approach them and see there position. I dispatch them as quick as I can. No critter no matter how disliked should suffer unnecessarily.

I believe there is no emotion in the predator world just cold survival and feeling sorry for them is what separates us from them fortunately.

Awesome! Get all of them... Well leave a few so I can call them in!

Another one for team Dotson

yep I think your in the lead by far !! keep'um coming !

Doubled up today

Coyote count 18 cat count 5. Here's our catch of the day

This makes complete sense. I admit, I have felt bad before about killing a coyote. I have always been a dog person, and having to shoot one made me feel a bit guilty. Then I started thinking about how coyotes have gone after my dad's dogs, and I'd have zero issue with putting one down that attacked my family our Aussie shepherd. Plus I couldn't tell you how many deer or other wildlife they have run off from my feeder. It doesn't bother me to kill them now.

nice catch of the day !! keep'um coming u da man !

Good day today!



And headed to the hall of shame

Good job, young man!

As Txcatman1 said, "MERICA!!"
Keep up the good work.

Heck yes, well done!!

Keep up the good work. There will always be folks that don't like what you post no matter what it is.

Wonder will they eat a deer?
I'll let you be the judge

Great stuff. Love killing coyotes. For the folks that do not like this, what is your opinion on trapping hogs? Or rounding them up with a chopper and shooting them out of a chopper? They are destined for death. It is about population control and it is just a "method" as is setting up a trap for 8 hogs to go into and then get shot or put in a trailer to be sold and then shot. It is all about method. I would love to learn how to trap, looks awesome.

I would like to see a stat on how many deer are lost to animal traps as opposed to predators every year. Wouldn't even be close.

where ya at PDOTSON ?? waiting on new pics .

I will answer for him. All the traps have been picked up due to the rain. As soon a we get a break in the weather We will be setting traps again. Thanks for the support.

nice pics
