Had some good and bad luck already

Wyatt and I have been out after the coyotes.

Good luck is 5 coyotes, 1 kit fox, and 2 badgers, so far.

Bad luck is 4 traps stolen. 2 jakes, 1 bridger #4DLS, and 1 #2 Bridger coil.

My wife said it was all my fault. She said you just set the trap and leave it out in the desert?

We had a good line going at that spot but I think the elk hunters helped us out some. We will set after the hunt's are over. Hope the weather holds.

This is the first year we set this early, and now I know why I have not set this early in the past.

Thats the main reason I wait until after deer season.

Lot of yotes out there this year.

that sucks, havent had traps stolen yet, but have had several animals removed for me last couple years

Was out scouting Thursday and Friday.

Saw 3 cats, and a few more coyotes. Same spot as where we had traps stole.

Gathered up another 1 gallon zip lock bag of coyote/bobcat turds.

I think we found "the spot" as long as the deer hunters don't scare them off.

We have about 250 snares built up for coyotes/bobcats. I think I am going to go with several bait stations in the super thick and tall sage. Then set snares around the bait holes.

That should keep the deer hunters and predators hunters on the 4 wheelers from seeing my catch as much.

We found several of these thick sage area's. I think I am going to have to make another 100-150 more snares. I already have the locks just need some more cable.

saw 3 cats

wow

dont think ive seen more than 1 in a day

saw a female and 2 kittens on a piece of ground i got permission to trap this year, first year on this place, good sign besides seeing the cats

One big tom and, what looked like a female and about last years kitten. The kitten and female together. Tom was about a mile from them.

Lookin good for when December comes.

Our family has 9 tags this year, 3 for me, 3 for wyatt, 3 for my honey.

I think they sold out already in Utah.
