Here ya go... you asked for some pics of my trapping trophies and this is all I've got this week. A few non-target critters in perfectly good K-9 sets! ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
These are from the morning run... I check two lines at 4 a.m. before work and another one at 4 p.m. after work.

WHOA! Thanks man. My boy, Jacob and i had fun checking those out. He saw the picture of the possum and said, "Whoa, what is that dad, some kind of rat?" I told him it was a possum but i got to thinking, Yeah, what is it anyway? So i said, "Yes, its a rat that hangs out in trees." Wierd critter indeed.
Please keep the pictures coming. Live animal pictures are great. I even like dead trapped picts. LOL Yeah, keep 'em coming!!!! Great catch. I wish we had the opportunity here to trap! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

My sesona doesn't open until Nov. 1, so here are a few from last year.
I got this little guy in a thicket up in the rimrocks. I'd have bet money there were no coyotes close when I set that bobcat trap.
Here's a double:
Vic has fond memories of this windmill, but I can't get him to share them

Tim,
There are so many windmills around there, I doubt it, but I may have been to that one. It looks damned familiar. Feeder, background and all.....
Good pics...

Andy,
There's a ton of windmills alright, but think of it this way. Most of the windmills you find in this valley, I've skinned coyotes off of.
Handiest damned gambrels in the West!
Rumor has it, in years past, that particular tank was a favorite skinny dipping hole for local teenagers.
Posted by Andy L (Member # 642) on October 29, 2005, 05:32 PM:
Yep, they work good for skinnin. Ive noticed that callin not far from thems a good idea as well.... ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Just out of curiosity, is that one NW off a road that starts with a G? ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Only if you are talking about G Ave down in Douglas, but then most of this valley is NW of Douglas.
If you are talking of Gleeson road, it's south of there. But if you know where to turn, you can get there from here.

Tim,
I was just funnin with ya....
The one I was thinkin of that looked alot like that background was off Gleeson, dont know exactly where without looking at a map. But I do know you go around a small mountain that has a road going around it all the way to the top.
I havent personally skinned off one, but I have heard you talk of it, and saw some other guys doing it downt there last year. Pretty neat. I had a thing made that slips in my receiver hitch for skinning. Works pretty slick. Especially if you bring a rope and can back up to a tree or fencepost.
If my boy can shoot straight this morning, Im gonna skin a deer on it.

Danny,
I thought you and the kids would like this pic.
Here are three coons caught up in WI this morning.
From top to bottom. #21, #34 and #36

Here's a little coyote that I picked up this morning.
Posted by Jrbhunter (Member # 459) on November 28, 2005, 05:53 AM:
I caught ten coyotes this week. I'm using laminated Bridger #3's for the most part but I did catch one of these in a 1-1/2 Northwoods and snared another one yesterday.
Posted by Tim Behle (Member # 209) on November 28, 2005, 11:36 AM:
Sounds like a busy week! Those are some nice looking coyotes.
The last two I caught were both heeled. Doesn't make for a very photogenic coyote. I stuck out a half a dozen sets last Thursday and used urine on them all.
I think I'm going to put the urine away until after the first of the year. I'd rather catch them by the front foot, and get a better picture.
I'm just slowing working on them down here, trying for one coyote a day.

They have all been fairly attractive so far. No mange or rubbing... no scars or damage either. A couple weeks ago I caught a nice strawberry blonde that will go taxidermy. Here are some pics, she wasn't encluded in the ones above.

Oh, and I got away from using a lot of urine in my sets. Too many possums and coons. Once the weather cools down and the ground freezes I'll go back to urine/glands but for now it's RK & a little red fox piss.

Great pictures guys!!! Thanks Tim, I'll show the kids later when the get up and about.
Jrb,
What a skinny coyote man! How did you get his eyes open like that? lol Whithout the hanging tongue and open eyes, that head looks alive still! lol
Keep the pictures coming guys. Theyre really lots of fun to see.

I'm not getting any of the last few posts from jrb? Just shows the square and the red X? Anybody else, or just me?
Good hunting. LB

scruffy

Yeah loco, that coyote was very photogenic. That is a natural picture... with just a little cleaning and combing so the taxidermy crowd would be impressed. When taking trophy photos of big whitetails I often carry a set of glass deer eyes used in taxidermy... you can shove them in over top of the real eyes and you don't have that "Hollow-Hazy" look in your pictures. I didn't do that to this coyote though... just skinned her soon after the catch and combed her up a little bit with my strawberry shortcake fur brush.
Here's another coyote that isn't shown above... I've officially caught a coyote by each foot this season.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on December 05, 2005, 09:55 AM:
Hmmm? I see them now. I don't know what the problem was, but I have DSL so speed isn't the problem.
Thanks for sharing jrb.
Good hunting. LB

jrb,
I can only recall a few coyotes I caught by a hind foot and man, oh man, did they ever go to rasing hell with the set! BIG circle torn up. One in particular had his hackles up the whole time I watched him in the trap and giving me the threat bark sequence the entire time. He REALLY didn't like being in that trap.
Posted by Locohead (Member # 15) on December 05, 2005, 05:41 PM:
verbatim:
Jacob: "Whoa, that looked like a kangaroo rat at first..."
Joshua: "Hey they're trapped, Foi they get trapped they try to get the guy that twied to get the man foi they get trapped by the trap thing!
Alana: "I don't think Aubree is gonna like that..."
Jacob: "I sure wish we could trap in our country (Colorado) That sure looks like fun!"

I caught one today that I am going to have to go back for tomorrow.
I've never had a coyote pull a drag this far.
By the time I quit, I was a good 2 miles at least from the jeep, as the crow flies.
Some of the stuff he broke off was a good 2" or bigger in diameter. He would never wrap around anything, Every time he hung up, he would reverse on the same trail and pull until getting free. He learned quick to avoid going close to any type of brush. It was amazing how he zig zaged between everything.
I'll be sure to post a picture of him tomorrow night.
