That paw print on the dirt hole is probably an inch off.

He said "nah don't bring em just throw them in the dumpster"

It is a waste, I'm part of the Cattle Raisers and I get a bounty on them here in llano, you can't unless you are part of CR. Then if an animal isn't bringing any money I just tan it and hang it in my office. I have my thinning machine and barrels here at the barn. I've already got 14 coyotes, 21 fox, and 15 coons in the freezer and I took December off from trapping pretty much to work on my colts. I can tell you that they don't want them shot anywhere but in the head and with a very small caliber. I shoot a 22 short. And they want the whole skin with the paws on but deboned and tail deboned. You shoot it anywhere else or with anything else just toss it. If ya don't want to waste then tan get them tanned and maybe sell them to people wanting a hide. But it costs about 100 dollars to tan one.

Man I had no idea that Tommy died. I sold to him for several years.
Ya I'm getting a bounty on the coyotes here from the rancher I'm up to 19 an 8 cats. But what's weird I'm not catching many fox. I usually catch any here from 20 to 40 a year without trying but not this year.
I haven't been shooting hardly any of my animals. I've been using a catch pole.

Yepp fox are strange this year, I don't particularly like fox but I'll take them. Cats have been pretty active this year too I'm pretty impressed. I think this ole boy is taking them to the Carolina market where they are then taken to Canada. At least that's what he sounded like.

Originally posted by Quanah11 View PostYepp I remember that, that was good gas money for checking the real traps haha. I like a cottontail tail or sheeps wool. I haven't used the golf all much. I set my dirtholes at more of an angle tho. I haven't seen them paired up yet. It it should be soon maybe the next couple of cold fronts.
Yes I'm like you I almost drill my holes straight back. I like to find some kinda rise or wash out an drill into that

I added a shot of coyote urine to the backing on that dirt hole with the pattern miss to keep them interested. On the dropping set I added a little Bobcat gland lure. It looks like the coyote marked that dropping pile. I put a stick in the track the coyote made in case they come back they won't step in the same spot.
