Coyote Trap Modifications
I made the following modifications to my Duke #2 offset traps:
- Added a base plate with center swivel
- Added laminations
- Change to a 4-coil
I am a terrible welder but hopefully it will make these "cheaper" traps stronger and more durable. I will be setting these out over Memorial Day weekend to try to get rid of some fawn killers.

Well, glad to see the rain. We got 6.5” in Brown Co. But sorry for the road damage. We have lots of road damage in Leon co this year.
I was looking at your situation. If you have some available big rocks to place upstream of that second photo, perhaps you could slow the flow and damage. I like cement low water crossings where there is a dip or channel.

Got another 1/2in of rain out there yesterday. We are almost at 8in for the month of May. We’ll get out there this next weekend and see if we need to bring the cows back on to help keep the grasses down to ensure forbs are able to grow. My hope was to keep the cows off to ensure the fawns have cover but we also want to make sure that there is enough forage for deer as well.

5/27/2019 - Stocked Blackbuck
We stocked 11 blackbuck this past weekend - 2 male (1.5yr old & 3.5yr old) and 9 females. Here are some pictures:
Everything looks great out there. I planted silver river clover last fall in one food plot and it has taken off and doing very well (see picture below).
They are starting to hit the cottonseed really hard since the doe are starting to drop their fawns. We added three additional cottonseed feeders and put out 1,800lbs of cottonseed this past weekend.
We set up some snares and a couple of foot-hold coyote traps but didn't catch any coyotes. We did however catch 6 raccoons this weekend. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow.
