Summer trapping

[RUGER]

Catchdawg's post made me wonder.

Does anyone trap in the Summer?

Just curious.

 

[TnHoss]

I do

I don't.

I do a ton of trapping in the summer! Mostly for minnows and crawdads!

I do when the yotes start causing trouble. Usually targeting one specific animal or family group.

It may just be me but I find it alot harder to trap coyotes in the summer time. I have tried trapping the same properties summer and winter and I have never been able to connect in the summer. If I had to guess I would say that food is more plentiful in the summer and they travel less but who knows

I would say the same about the food part, yotes are also harder to call in the summer as well so it stands to reason. I might trap a few beavers in the summer if they are causing problems but that's bout it.

I agree and disagree with you on the calling yotes in the summer. A fresh cut Hay field is a death trap for a coyote they seem to concentrate there for fresh kills and easy meals. I've called in more coyotes in a hay field than I have anywhere. A couple summers ago we called in 8 in one morning. They were coming from everywhere.

Now as far as me getting motivated to go sit in 90 and 100 degree weather to hunt a nasty, mangey, tick and flea infested coyote is another question
