The perfect cycle...

`Love it!!! Keep up the good work!
 
Nice. Coyotes are doing my head in up in Canada. I'm not there long enough to hunt them. And they're huge. I saw one that I am sure was well over 50 lbs.
 
Tell your secret on how you got them. I haven't had much success with hunting them.

Traps and/or consistent baiting seem to be the most effective methods.

I would like to learn how to trap them. Because from my experience it would be impossible to thin them with a call. But there is a strong chance I just don't know what im doing.
 
Get Minnesota leg-hold traps and watch a bunch of youtube videos about how to make sets. It's not that difficult, but it takes some attention to detail and a lot of patience.

Snaring is the best way to really kill a lot of coyotes in my opinion. I think trapping takes a lot more skill and time and im just too busy deer hunting in October and November to have time to trap before the ground freezes.

I bait with roadkilled deer in winter near my home and I shoot them when I can, but they are usually too cagey to kill many. I let them get comfortable coming to the bait and then go out and set a bunch of snares in close proximity to the bait. I killed 20 coyotes last winter off 1 bait pile, maybe 1/4 of them were shot. Coyotes will get wise to traps... but will just walk right into a big, cable noose. Its pretty simple, its super cheap, and its very effective!
 
I love this post.

Don't let anyone feed you the line of bull that you can't make a difference. All that bull from some of the universities about them sensing a decrease in the population and pooping out more babies is a fairy tail. Last year I had a trapper to come in and clean out 5 yotes, and I have been nearly yote free all this year. I've had one picture of one yote in the last three months, and the first part of the year was much the same. Yes, they will eventually come back, but we will deal with them again and make a difference again.

This thread deserves thread of the year.

Two years I snared over bait and got 19. Last year I didn’t bait but worked hard at it and only got 6 so you can put a dent in them in a short time. This winter will only be my 4 th year at it. The learning curve is quick. 10-12 inch loop 10-12” off the ground. Wait 2 days after a fresh snow and go hang some. It’s easy

Thanks Native! I couldn't agree more! Ive had fewer coyotes than ever before on camera this summer. Also I am seeing Red Fox once again, I havent seen fox in a decade here. Im also seeing more does that STILL have fawns! You couldn't convince me now that removing coyotes is not helping. If they come back stronger, so be it! I enjoy the challenge and the thrill of hunting and trapping them, much like i do deer!
