Great job on the cat and a nice one....But a .308??? Ouch!!!

Congrats on another coon...Good job!!! Now for the bad news, that's not the coon you were trying to get. Look at the 2 pics, the tail rings appear to be different. Your journey is not yet over. He is still out there laughing at you. (they love to giggle at us critters trying to catch them...lol) Keep goin, you'll get him if he's still around.....:cowboy:

Skip the sardines and try a couple of Reese's peanut butter cups. Cut them in half and put 2 halves in the back of the cage and the other one (still in the opened package) in the back of the cage. That should get him....

Nice pic. He looks like he's tryin to figure out what that funny dressed human is doin up in that tree.....lol When stuff like this happens ya just gotta laugh at yerself, I do.....Right after I have a friend give me this treatment (:hammer1:) lmao

LMAO....You don't need a bigger trap, that one will catch any size coon. He's just smarter then you and laughing at you. You need to figure out what it's gonna take to get him in there, that's all. Until then, he will keep laughing....LOL By the way, I'm not making fun of you. I'm a proffessional trapper (that's how I make a living) and it happens to me every once in a while too....:bang:

I boil my tree rats and then debone them. Then put them in a skillet with BBQ sauce and simmer fur a bit. Mmmmmmmmm, great eatin over rice or taters!!!!!!:yes:

Hey Southern, would you please explain this further. What do you mean you can't bait coyote with anything you've bought or paid for????? As for using road kill, you better check the state laws again, someone has misinformed you. You can "not" just take an animal off the road and use it for bait. It has to be taken by legal methods determined by the state and those methods are listed in the state regulations. A road kill deer is a different story than other animals.

This is all good except leaving it in a gun case, guns can and will rust if left in the confines of a gun case do to temperature change and condensation. There is no where for moisture to escape and will collect on the metal.

If it's a wild rabbit, it's illegal. If not, PETA will getcha!!! lol Try a decoy, they work....

Ohhhhhh boooyyyyyyyyy, is PETA gonna get you!!!!!!:hammer1: LMAO

Tone it down????? Never!!!!!! Way to go Uncle Ted!!!!! Say it "LOUD" and say it "PROUD"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:gun_bandana:

food fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lmao

Remember to leave some seed for next year, you don't want to trap the area out. Otherwise you won't have much there next season.

Get permission to trap now but save the final scouting until a couple of weeks before you start trapping. As seasons change so do food sources and animal travel routes. They go were the food is and ofcourse water. Prebaited bucket sets will tell you were you have the most activity for coons. I start mine about 2 weeks in advance of trapping.

It's surprising how well those pellets work, they are easier and the flavor is every bit as good if not better then using wood chunks, without all the extra work. I've had guys that have smoked meat for years tell me my smoked meats are the best they've ever had.....My favorite is pork roast using maple.......:)

If you guys want some really good smoked meat try one of these Traeger smokers. I've had mine 2yrs and it is fantastic!!!! You really can not screw it up with this smoker. Here's the link: http://www.traegergrills.com/?gclid=CKvJjebU244CFRcXIwodykaQ-A Watch the video with Terry Bradshaw and Jay Leno, very funny!!!! And here's some pics of mine with the results. Pork roast. The smoker in the winter smoking a Prime Rib using cherry. It was freezing out but the taste was fantastic when it was done. Now that was some great eatin there. Mmmmmmm:p:D:D:D

To trap any animal before the fur is prime is a waste (you won't get any money for unprime fur). November is when you want to start trapping and that will give you all summer to learn what to or not to do. Bucket sets for coon work very well with Coni-bear traps along trails or anywhere you find coon sign. You can put the buckets out before season (stake them down so they are stable) and even prebait them to see which ones will produce. Under bridges and at culverts are always good spots for coon and mink. Make sure on mink or muskrat sets that your traps are staked or tied down good enough to hold a coon just in case you catch one. Coon catches in mink and muskrat sets happen quit often. Be prepared for skunk catches, they will go into coon, fox and coyote sets!!!!!:eek::eek::eek:

I've been using Simmons scopes for years and they have always done the job and don't empty your pocket. .22 wmr is a good round but a little light for yotes out past 50 or 75 yards, depending on your shooting expertise... This was my last purchase for coyotes......

Didja git it yit???????

50 caliber Barrett is the only way to go!!!!! Just kidding.......:D:D:D I use both a .223 and .22-250 depending on where I'm shooting and my mood at the time.:)

All black AR Coyote rifle from Rock River Arms, .223 cal.

Is that legal where your at?????

Hi Dakota, I've been trapping coming up on 44 years and a full time nuisance wildlife control operator (trapping is what I do for a living). I have never found Duke traps reliable, especially for coon. Stick with name brands like Victor, the extra cost for name brand traps is well worth it and you won't walk up on a set with your trap in pieces with no animal in site. Try this company for your trapping supplies: Minnesota Trapline Products at... http://www.minntrapprod.com/index.php For coyote try the MB-650 O.L.I.L. I use these traps exclusivly for coyotes and can say I have never lost one dog and the damage to the foot is most often times none existant. Read the info. on there site. Also for trapping information a great start would be subscribe to The Trapper and Predator Caller mag. at... http://www.trapperpredatorcaller.com/GeneralMenu/ And by all means check all the trapping regulations for your state. There's nothing worse then worrying or getting in trouble while your trying to enjoy yourself. Although trapping can be a tough act. Enjoy yourself and if you have any questions I'd be glad to help....... Here's a video I took (sorry, I wasn't used to the new camcorder) while I was hired by a local municipality to take care of a coyote problem. You can see the coyote go right up to the Fox Pro caller I put out.

I use Hornady V-max in 40 or 55 grain and have had no problems.

Don't forget the salt spreader....
