yup, it was a dirt hole set.
Sooo cool.
I have a 2.5 acre field that I trap. Plus a couple traps along the driveway.
The coons are warring me out. I had a few year ago gotten rid of 30 of them. They are back in force.
The 3 grey’s have come out of the field, of course.
Maybe next year I can come up with a few farms, who knows?
Awesome!!! I've caught hundreds of foxes but it was before the coyotes were populated in our area. Are you catching them both in the same sets, or setting coyote sets differently? Thanks

Just got all my coil spring traps (about 50) frame welded, center swiveled, new springs, new pans, new dogs, new chains, new swivels.
I’m ready, for what I’m not sure, but I’m ready none the less.
Nice coat.

Yeah he was a bit darker than the others. @Tailhunter we been catching them on pee post sets might want to try it.

We called them deer whistles in High School. Had a buddy that wore one around his neck and would always get the unsuspecting girls to blow on the deer whistleThe coons are wearing me out.
But I should have plenty of tooth picks.
Biggest grey I ever caught was in a driveway set this morning.
Huge.
MB550
Glad I was using log chain to hold him.

They are about twice as much.The new MB 550 traps come with all that mess done. Might be cheaper just to buy new traps in the future just FYI.

These traps where ones I already had. So it was just some 20d nails, some 5/16 nuts and chain.
And the MIG of course. Lots of fun anyway.
I did buy 4 MB550’s just for the hay of it. They are great Coyote/Bobcat traps but way over kill on the foxes.
But if I was starting from scratch, I would look at them hard.
Nice catch, can we get a pic of the tractor in the background to.View attachment 36174 Pic of the Grey, after the fact.
The bridger 1.75 comes with the paws-I-trip pan too. If I buy any more those will be the ones.
If the yotes tear them up, I try something different.
We are running mb450 for Fox only sets and k9 xtreme jrs on the Fox/yote sets. Really like the k9 traps. They’re about bomb proof.

Thanks for the pics, always loved the old farmalls. That gray looks huge. I saw one on my way home from work tonight. What do y’all do with any coons you catch. I have thought about getting a box trap to show my girlfiends son how to catch coons in one, think he would enjoy it.View attachment 36197
That big red charm is an old farmall M.
Did you weigh the big gray? Sure looks like a whopper.
I didn’t weigh it but it measured 48” from nose to tail.Thanks for the pics, always loved the old farmalls. That gray looks huge. I saw one on my way home from work tonight.

Another grey this morning. Normal sized.
Do you use any drags?Mine were empty this morning.

No I haven't used drags before. This is only my second year trapping so I'm pretty new to it. I use wolf fang anchors and a JC connor shock spring with 2 swivels and a quick link. I have thought about drags though just never done it.Do you use any drags?
I have a few times but mostly stake them.
Used long rods when I was young but have been using earth anchors recently, they work great.
I made a drag from some scrap I found today. Going to try it in the snow to see how it works, just incase I have to track him.
