    A few snaring pictures from a couple years back. This was a 40lb. blond coyote. About 1 in 25 seem to be this color in my area. This one was caught before a good snow storm. Only thing showing was a bump in the snow.

    Cool! Thought of you yesterday as I was hawling supplies to your camp. Lake is still iced over, but opening up some where brooks enter. I noticed a mink had come out on to the ice in several of these places.--Forgot my camera!

    Well I'll be! Didn't suppose a fox would go into a cage trap. Nice going Woodga!

    Nice easy site to view! Good information about you and what you offer.

    I new i was in trouble with that beaver eating statement :whistle:
  6. Albert Ladd
    Most of the area I live in has room to relocate beaver. But in alot of states or areas your just moving the problem from one place to another. In cooler months the beavers pelt is valuable. The meat is good eating plus dogs love beaver.

    Great picture 338! We don't have any reported wolves here in Maine yet, and don't want any. The wolf wouldn't be the problem it would be the politics And the devastation to our moose herd. Your french countymen have snared a few above our boarder. I hope they keep up the good work

    your not a man unless you’ve eaten both varieties!--bear with us woolbr8stl You chop a hole clean out the ice chunks and look. If the water is dark you feel for each bank with your chisel or use a pole. Usually near the house the channel will be narrow If it’s too wide then we block one or both sides with dead sticks and brush. Or we just use a baited set. A used channel will have the gravel rubbed clean in the center. here's where you set your snare.

    Thought you may like to see how we snare beaver under the ice! Top two pictures show a couple snare sets for beaver. These are channel sets under ice. The pic of the two snares on the same side was used in a narrow channel Pole was set next to one bank. While the snare was close to the opposite bank. And I did catch a beaver in this same snare. The other with a snare to each side was a wider channel snares touched each bank with the pole set in the middle of the channel. If the water was deeper you’d use more snares on the pole’ One above the other. Bottom picture shows two beaver caught

    Here is a link with all the information on the two locked moose. lots of pictures. http://www.northcountrynewsnh.com/web_pages_00000b.htm

    The hump on the front shoulder should be about 5 or 6 feet high.

    Ok I lied I guess you could say they trapped each other. These two locked horn. Struggled till their death and were partially eaten by coyote before being discovered by a deer hunter. This happened in the State of new Hampshire. Some great taxidermy was done on these moose.

    Your the master

    First time i ever seen anyone snaring flying rabbits
  15. Albert Ladd
    Bought the same model as you have, set it just one time for marten, but never caught one. I don't think It's a popular trap. Probably because we have so many other conibear traps and set we can use. I've only seen this one model. If there are others or bigger ones I have no knowledge. For sure after seeing how well you take squirrels with it I'll use it for my next problem with the critters.

    Used to set out piles of bait to attract the coyote. As they or other animals lugged off various parts. they would often entangle these pieces in the snare instead of themselves. I've had deer and moose heads, leg bones and hooves. and baby pigs Caught a 600lb cat in two different snares. Someone followed me down a trail with his "Arctic-Cat" snow sled and got entangled in the snares, never did find out who.
  17. Albert Ladd
    Congratulations. That's a nice catch! Sure would make a good stew!

    I no not where your getting your info from, Maybe you could post some link so the rest of us can be so well informed? The only reason snaring was stopped, was because the anti's threatened to sue if the state didn't get a incidental take permit from the Federal Government The attorney general ("Caved in to the anti's")advised the wildlife department to drop the snaring untill a permit was granted. The permit once given would free the state from any law suits if one of us snares would have accidently taken an endangered or threatened species like Canadian lynx, eagle, or a wolf. That sa

    Patric! These are as you stated killing snares. A 1 day check was not needed when an animal is DEAD. In the Coyotes by the hundres threadYou explained to everyone the size of the land we live in. One of my snaring areas was a 40 mile drive by truck, Then a 15 mile ride by snow-sled up a frozen lake. ONE WAY! Hardly feasible to be checking daily. A relaxing snare with a lock that does not tighten would have to be checked daily just like a trap. The jelly head thing was a problem with some of the older snares not having Killing locks and a compression spring to quicken the animals death. These

    I Think coyote would do real well in England. They are in every major city in the us. The critter can survrive anywhere and on anything. http://news.mongabay.com/2006/0104-osu.html Patric is right, In my own state the southern part is loaded with deer and coyote. coyote killing deer is probably a help. The difference comes in the northern part of the state.Cold, Deep snow, large coyote population and a low deer population can seet the coyote bring the deer numbers down so low that they can't reproduce enough to maintain a stable population.-biologist call this a predato

    To give you some idea of the value. The western coyote is of greater value than the eastern. All because the chinese like the white bellies. Some fashon thing they like? The eastern coyote very little white Another of Marty's pics showing two with wide white bellies The last Canadian auction on February 12th saw a total of 35, 000 coyotes that went for- WESTERN=an average of $53.56 American EASTERN=$32.57 average. So marty took 700 coyote @ A possible average of$53. ( Rounded for easy figuring) That's $37,100.00 dollars US gross. not bad for a few months work.

    The coyote cost is in the millions if not a billions each year in damage to livestock mostly. Some trappers in the west, both the US and Canada work year round tying to controll them for sheep and cattle ranchers. One X sheep rancher told how he had lost over 600 newborn lambs the last year he was in business. They've tried for over 100 years to eradicate the coyote in the west by trapping, snarind and poisoning and his numbers just increased. So they learned that the only way was to kill him where he was doing the most damage. In and around the ranches and farms. One method is to shoot fro

    Our fox are English. The native gray fox wouldn't play fare when chased by hounds. The gray fox can climb trees i'm told. So the English brought the red fox over probably early 1700s. The fox took so well that he beet the early settlers to the west. Also there was a native red in the west and north that was much larger. I've seen red fox pelts In Canada that were as big as the coyotes they hung next too. I'll ask Marty, but the majority are snared. He makes and sells his own of snares. The coyote probably would do real well in your country. Loves rabbits and sheep. Your deer would be an e

    How’s this for a barn full of coyote This is Marty Senneker from I think? Alberta, Canada This year he took 718 coyote. Last year 822. His best year total was 907 This truck load was this years picture. He had broken his daily record with this load. 55 coyote in one check. Don't know how many fox he took. Can’t imagine the time and work it takes to have a catch like this.
  25. Albert Ladd
    Wouldn't think shipping would be to drastic. not much weight Tanning is about $30 US dollars, A big Eastern coyote would probably sell for $35? this year. So my guess would be around $100 US. No idea what that figures in Sterling.
