Gents, Got what looks like a cattle graveyard on a back corner of our farm. Cousins farm the next parcel, cattle farm. Not sure if they dump diseased/dead animals in this corner and the yotes drag them around, or if the yotes kill them and drag them back to this area to feast. YEARS worth of bones laying around, some of them pretty fresh. Got any tips for what sets to use? I'm thinking a cubby set out of some rib bones? As well as a blind set on a corner from a trail coming out of the woods to a cleared fence row. Ideas? |

Without seeing pics or knowing fence lines, you could set some snares if there is a well traveled place especially if they go under a fence line. How big of an area is this? You could use snares or lots of foot holds, but getting them in the right spot might be tricky. Make sure to target them coming and going. They have to sleep and poop somewhere. You could also try sniping a few doing some night hunting. Have fun and go get them! |

| A farmer let me shoot em over a gut pile if you would prefer to shoot em. They are slaves to their stomachs and would go there in day time, night time, anytime. I read an article they need 3.5 lbs of meat to stay alive. Now a days I just do muskrat trapping. Never trapped yotes. But would like to hear what others do. |
| I spent years working on feedlots in Texas. At this one particular yard we had a customer who fed a bunch of "three-legged dying shit" and boy did they die. The coyote population exploded. Good times. I had a little Marlin .17 HMR I kept in my work truck and got after it. |
