Hey Howie

[markc]

I can't reach anyone at the number you posted for Mr. Tolars ranch.  Is there a particular time of day when he can be reached?  So far, no answer when I call during the day.

i  just  spoke  to  him  and  that  is  what  he  is  wanting to do  wait  a  while  and  make  sure  all  have  had  their  fawns   meanwhile  i  am  trying  to  curtail the  coyote  population   got  me  another  one  i  a  snare  3  days  ago   hope  to  hear  from  you

I have a guy that is going to supply me with some snares for coyotes on our lease.  Are you using a scent bait or anything like that?

I  am  not  using any  attractant   but  am  using  rubber  gloves  and  dirt scent  on  the  traps  and  immediate  area    i  have  found  where  they  are  goig  under  the  fence   by  diggingand  set  my  snar  up  and  opened  up  a  little  bigger  than  a  coyotes  head  i  also  created  a  natural  funnelwhere  they  have  to  go  through  the  snare  rather  than  around  the  nsare
  example  I  took  to  small  logs layed  them  horizontal  with  the  hoe  in  the  fence  covered  with   sticks  and  leaves  that  way  the  coyote  cannot  go  around    i  looked   for  hair    on  the  fence  to  find  the  most  active  areas  where  they  are  going  under  the  fence   they  cat  jump  over  it   so i  know  they  are  going  under   and  boy  those  snares work!!!    very  quick  death   no  sign  of  struggle  as  the  more  they  resist    it   kocks  them  out  quick   good  luck

Howie.  Unfortunately on this particular lease there isn't much of a fence left anymore.   What I have been looking for is tracks and scat.  There are some bobcats there as well, and I would like to snare of of them too.
