When I was a kid my dad cowboy`d for a living a bit up in Kansas on a big Angus rancher`s place.He trapped coyotes and made 30 bucks a dog off of em(helped feed and clothe me and my sister)
My question is,where can I find the traps to buy...
I am about top start waging war on yotes where I hunt and guide at..
I don`t like the use of poison baits and trapping is not the most humane method.Though they are a nuisance I have grown to admire them and their ability to survive.I almost feel sorry for such a smart noble little critter ending his days hung in a trap only to be blasted by my mini14.Then again they eat young deer ,turkeys and ultimately beef cattle calves(Thats when I cross the line from hunter to stock predation hunter)  (aka,Gettin Paid for my skills and doing what I love,outsmarting Wiley).But I can`t call for em everyday..work negates thatIf I could I would hunt yotes and probably never hunt another animal.I love it..They are smart,damned smart..
anyways,where can I find a trapping supplier to order traps.

| Go over to 24hourcampfire.com and look in the trapping forum. Probably someone can help you there. Darn huggers got them outlawed in CO, but I still have a few

I've got them! What you want? You going to use snares, or No#2 Duke traps? Got some Berkshire stakes around here somewhere too(better then pounding those 24" rebar stakes into the ground).
Give me a call....

| When I was a wildlife mgt biology student at the Univ of AZ I met the local predator & rodent control agent from us fish & wildlife service who gave us a lecture on trapping bobcats,coyotes,foxes,etc.He gave me some of his homemade stink bait which consisted of: calf brains,beaver castor,limburger cheese,female fox,coyote & bobcat urine plus other organs from the animals.He put the ingredients in a gallon pickle jar and set it out in the AZ summer sun to ripen,stirring it occasionally.When opening my jar I had to note which way the wind was blowing it was bad enough to gag a maggott but it worked.

I went to my local hardware store and order 6 coild spring 5.25 inch traps for $8.00 each.
Those heavy screw anchor they use for anchoring moble homes down, is what I use to hold these traps in place, plus I use one inch link chain with some of those splicing rings that you hammer shut.

| I liked the Coyote Getter used by Predator & Rodent Control in AZ.It had a tuft of greasy sheep skin on the head,a 38 special blank cartridge with a cyanide tab when yotes bite they push down which fired the blank sending sodium cyanide into its mouth which vaporized and breathed in spelled curtains for the yote.
