[QUOTE="Deep Forks, post: 266037, member: 928"] Question for the experienced coyote trappers... so today I was checking traps and had a sprung one, upon closer examination it appears I ‘had’ a coyote in it. (I’m fairly new to this and haven’t caught a coyote yet). It was approximately 20 hrs between checks, I normally check more often than that but a change in work schedule wouldn’t allow. There was blood all over my trap, a little bit of fur and blood on the ground in the immediate area. The whole area also reeked of that coyote smell. I followed the spotty blood trail down a game trail which went into a massive cattail slough. I guess my question is- is this common with coyotes? If you’re not on top of them shortly after they’re caught? Or could this mean something else like a toe catch or something else that maybe I’m doing wrong that I don’t even know about. I’m using number 3 Bridger offset coilspring that I dyed and waxed before season. [/QUOTE]
