About time to break out the gear~!

Have 3 packs of coyotes sounding off around the farm. They have us surrounded!
My go to trap I keep out year round isn't getting worked so its time to put some additional sets in!

Hadn't been feeling it with the warmer season but now that cold weather is coming it feels like trapping weather!

They are starting to roam here in north AL. Caught 5 the last week. Trapping is almost as fun as deer hunting

Ugg. Dug out my traps and they were a mess. I THOUGHT I had pressure washed and painted them before puttting them away. Nope. Got them cleaned and painted. Now I have to wait a couple days for the smell to go away.
Did have one MB550 ready and made a set in a new location I haven't set before. Walking back to the truck found an old pile of scat 10 yds away. Might be a good spot!

I plan to get out my traps tomorrow and get them cleaned up and repainted on the ones that need it. Might put 6-8 out here at the house and pull them up Sunday or Monday. Not going to go all out until after the late mz goes out in Dec.

Once trapping season went out in Feb I put everything up and said I'd clean them up and repaint them when it warmed up. Well that didn't happen.

Looks like a feral cat is raiding my dirt hole sets . Drove up on it as it was peeking into one of the sets.
Got 2 snares on fence crossings with yote hair in the barbwire so they should produce.
Got 3 DP's out for coons and possums.
Should be some movement tonight with the cold temps moving in.

Gonna try to throw in a few sets tomorrow around the house to thin out the coyotes ,Then walk 2 properties Sunday morning and look for cat sign to hit hard in mid January .
