First get some number 2 coil springs . ...5 or 6 of them.....

 

You'll need bait,,,,,,

CALM DOWN I'M JOKING!

 

They love cats

 

Do a google search and You can learn how to make cheap snares and sets. Also, get an extra full choke (.690 diameter)12 gage shotgun and lead #1 buck shot loads, and a call. Hunt at night during a full moon. Also google search. Tons of how to out there.

 

Are we allowed snares in Ohio now? I've been outta the game for 20 years...

 

Yes , snares are perfectly legal. Just have to have a deer stop, relaxing lock, and be made from cable.

 

where can you buy snares that are legal in Ohio?

 

Several places around the state. Im not sure where you're at to recommend a local shop.

Online ebay, buckeye trap supply, the snare shop, Minnesota trap line, etc.

 

Sterling outfitters Wayne county. Everyone I know, myself included use snares for yotes. Especially this time of year. Don't have to worry bout your pan freezing. More economical, faster to set and better results. You can choke down a game trail to set a snare. Can't set snares for yotes on public though.

 

My son has been collecting deer remains since gun season. He has been placing them in area's that he will be setting snares. He wants to get them going a little bit before he starts. Last year he used goose remains and that worked out great other than the down cloud every time the wind would blow. Snares are legal and effective here in NW Ohio. Go to your local gun/sportsman shop they will have what you need.

 

I am in the Cincinnati area

 

Hell, if Tom gets that haircut, maybe him, Fastwater and myself can put some lead in a few. Beaver could join too! Eastside of Cincy, whereabouts?

 

Make a set in a buck scrape. I have pics of yotes checking and peeing on deer scrapes on several trail cams. Just some info. May even try making a mock scrape and trying that too.

Out on the farm my buddie had12 cats there are 2 or 3 left he got a call one day from his wife that there were 3 Grey dogs with big fluffy tails by the back porch they were trying to get the cat under the porch she opened the door and they did not run off until she yelled at them a little crazy but truelol

 

Coyotes love to kill cats. That is the one thing that I like about coyotes.

 

No feral cats in my neighborhood anymore.... neighbor's tame rabbits haven't been around lately come to think of it.

 

My son trapped two young females in one day on the same fence row about 200 yards apart on Dec 28th. Never two in a day by him, so a big day.

 

The guy that snares behind my house always does double sets about 20 yards apart. He gets two at a time sometimes. When he gets one out of a pair, the second coyote will hang close by and circle around the snared coyote until it gets snared as well. I shot one out the kitchen window last week.

 

I always say if the location is good enough for one set, it's good enough for two. I always set at least two at a time. It's not uncommon to catch them traveling in pairs and get them both like that, especially late in the winter when they're breeding. A lot of times you'll have an opossum, skunk, or **** in one set and then a coyote or fox in the other.

 

Thought I'd share this. I Got a male and female this morning. First coyotes for me, snares set side by side like 6 feet apart.. my first attempt at yotes I've had my snares out since Christmas, today was my lucky day

Good work. Keep on them.

 

buddy of mine caught this one a few days ago. It was eating well on a lady's cats!

 

i'm up to 17 here in NW ohio all in leg holds. i use #2 dukes with peat moss to protect against freezing

 

Well done. About time to target those around my place.

 

If only guys would focus on predators as much as they would deer. Theyre doing a number on a large property I deer hunt but the landowner wont allow trapping..... Its killing the herd as much hunting as is allowed on the property with no predator management besides calling them. Running some dukes seems to be the ticket. They say winter right up to fawning time is the most crucial time of year if you want to help your deer and turkeys.

 

If you want to actually do some damage to the coyote population, stay away from those junk dukes.

Although I highly doubt the coyotes are really doing that much damage to the deer on that property.

 

I have got 1 or 2 on camera per year in the past 5 year if that.

 

Your lucky!
I've now killed a total of 6 in the yard in the last couple years and at least that many out in the woods. Have seen more than that...just couldn't get a shot on them.
Not a night goes by you don't step out on the porch where you don't hear em yipping from ridge top to ridge top. They really get going if there's a cow close by calving.
