Snared my first coyote last night - 05/24/16 11:34 PM
About 2 weeks ago I lost a couple of chickens. I followed the trail of feathers and found the spot in the fence where the coyotes were coming through. Put up a game cam and sure enough 2 came through about the same time for 2 nights in a row.
I made a couple of cable snares and put one in the gap in the fence. The first couple of nights they walked right through it and didn't trip it.
Then I did a little rearranging and put it a little higher.
I snared one last night.
Couple questions:
According to the game came, it took over 45 minutes for the coyote to die once the snare was around it's neck. I'll kill 1000 yotes, but I don't want to see any animal suffer when it doesn't have to.
Is my snare design flawed, or is that normal?
Also, since I snared one there, will the others avoid that spot for a while?
