I have a trap brand for the place here. I go out and thin the critters when I start losing chickens. I took my trapper test last month to be able to trap all over but when I saw the trapper tag was almost $60 and did not even cover bobcat (another $34) I backed off. I have had good luck with a DP trap for coon but no luck this time. I put out snares and did not realize how powerful a coyote was. I had put the swivel around a 30? piece of #4 bar but did not have a nut welded to the end of it. The rebar tie wire that I had used for a stop on the end did not hold. It almost looked like he was working that stake out of the ground.
