Do you know anyone nearby that still farrows sows in an older style set up and might use wheat straw for bedding?

Do you have a place to buy traps nearby?

We would connect 4 traps, either #4 or #3 leghold traps. You probably should go with #4 for coyote or dog sized.

Anyway, connect all 4 trap chains together and hook it to a grappeling hook type drag, or something real heavy so they can't go to far when caught.

I dont like to stake them down as the animal can pull out. If a drag is used, you will find them not too far off.

So, lay the traps out flat on the ground in an X pattern. Dump one gunny sack of sow bedding in the center. Now carefully set each trap and work some straw over the springs, try to get the trap to lay flat and solid so that if the animal doesn't step right in the center it will not feel the trap give. A coyote will be more spooky, a dog wont be as nervious. Set all the traps and dont cover the trap pan too deep. Dump on more straw when done to make it visable from a ways off. Wind might be a problem, try to find a protected area, but you also want it to stand out. If you have snow on and put this set up in the middle of a pasture where they can see it from a ways, they will go right to it. They can't resist the smell of hog straw. Cant guarantee is 100%, but with some persistance you will catch whatever it is that is pestering you.

My dad did this for his whole life and I learned right with him. My guess is that between us we killed 60-75 coyotes and foxes.

And if you catch a dog you dont want to kill, throw a blanket over its head, hold him down and turn him loose. Even if the foot is frozen it will generally thaw out and heal.

Good luck, Gene

For a gun, consider a Mini-14 rancher. I think they come in .223, and .308 and maybe other calibers.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
