could any one here with knowledge of useing leg traps to catch coyotes tell me if they are safe to use around deer. I have fallow and axis and blackbuck in an area of 220 acres high fenced. there is a pair of coyote inside the area. I need to get rid of them . will the deer get into or be hurt by the leg traps ?? any information on how to get them out ??

I haven't personally dealt with this kind of thing, but I am aware of it happening by chance

F and T fur traders can be look up on line for trapping supplies.
You can set the trap were a deer will not be able to get to it.
Dig about a 6" deep hole on a 45 degree angle and add bait and
some coyote urine. 6-8 inches from the hole, set the trap in a
slight dip in the dirt and cover with shifted dirt. Put two
limbs a few feet long making a V from the front of the trap opening in the other direction.

I will put a $100 price on each one $200 for the pair for any one who can dispose of them with out injury to the deer. i'm in trinity county, off hwy 94. thanks 936-271-4315

I have all the gear and used to do a lot of predator control trapping, but have family in the hospital and can't be far from home right now. This is a great reference I recommend for those in the need.

I wish I was closer, I'd come help you for free. If you want to do it yourself, I recommend a "Collarum". I used one this past winter with good results. The downside is the cost, @ $76 per. And they are no kill, bite triggered, snares. Youre not likely to catch a deer, but if you did it wouldn't kill it.
Good luck!
Oh, here's the website : http://www.wildlifecontrolsupplies.com/M...Collarum-Models

Go to any trap supply store online like Sullivan's and order a couple offset rubber jaw #3 traps if a deer was to get into them they're alot more likely to slip right out of them unharmed and they will still hold a yote. Just my .02

Deer should be no problem..... spook em at worst.. urine post set would work well........one for male and one type for female to catch her squating and peeing, camp fire set would work too. Find where they are moving in the brush or through the fence and use snares w/ deer stops...

Ide use yote urine with a foothold trap. Spray the urine on tree trunk about coyote high. Put your hand in a fist put it on the tree trunk where your elbow is will be where you should place the trap. Dig a hole for the trap to sit in. Make sure it is level if it wobbles it can spook the yote. Take some wax paper or old screen place it over the pan and springs sift dirt and grasses over it to make it look natural. Be as scent conscious as you can. Dont forget to anchor the trap.

Buy LARGE trebel hooks at Walmart hang them about 4 ft off the ground and bait with raw meat.
I used to hunt a ranch that "trapped" that way and never saw a deer caught. Just another option.

THANKS to all those with ideas. I will try most starting with leg traps sat am. thanks again and best regards
