Had a few surprises this season. I caught 3 coyotes in cage traps. I was targeting bobcats but the coyotes couldn’t resist the bait. Pics to follow don’t have enough service to post now

Sweet not easy to do!!!

I caught a couple when I was a kid in cages. They were very young or on deaths bed/in a bad way.

I'm going to build a couple clever traps this summer to see if I can cage them more often. Will be an interesting experiment.

I have caught 6 in cages in the last 6 years. I got two this year in one of Bruce’s older single doors in the same location about 3 weeks apart.

That’s awesome! I felt like they would be almost impossible 👍 never tried it but have caught a lot in footholds

Pics. I will measure tomorrow but about 10-12 x 18 x 40. Quite small for a coyote

What type of bait were you using when the coyotes were trapped?

Thats awesome

I was using beaver. They never seem to go for the fresh meat. Always old dried up piece.

Cool stuff! Thats a pretty cat for sure.

Congrats!!! on the coyotes!!! and the beautiful cat!!!

I know there are coyotes around here and so far they have not gone into cages for me. I never thought of dried out beaver as bait. Maybe like jerky?
When there is snow, I don't find cat sign, lots of canine, racoon and opossum away from Scatter Creek. Would love to catch a bob cat.
I did catch something that didn't like it. I'll bring the trap to the Ronde.

Thank you for showing us it is possible to catch a coyote legally in a cage trap.

I start with a fresh piece of beaver and for some reason if I get a coyote it’s an old bait
