Ok, I am a total newbie, but very excited to try this out. I have been hunting a farm for years out here in Southern Michigan, but not for Coyote. The last couple of years I have been wondering where all the deer are...Well a couple of nights ago at 3am, we were woke up by a pack of coyotes outside my window. It sounded like they were tearing up something within 100ft. We Guessed by the sounds that there were up to 10 of them. I am in the woods 500 ft off the road. The adjacent farm is 100 acres and adjacent to a Chicken farm...We have lots of farm roads connecting the farms. So, My interest is peaking in Trapping these Yotes. maybe I am diving in too deep, but for sure, we have them around so I am hoping I won't be skunked.... My Neighbor on the other side of the farm has been seeing them near the farm roads connecting the farms. So, can you guys help guide me through this process.....I will be waiting until deer season slows down to start trapping. Yesterday I placed an order for what I think should get me started. What else do I need....here is my list of items I ordered. I have yet to understand how to make the traps usable. My Neighbor walks her dog around the farm every night, and she is carrying pepper spray becuase she is so paranoid of these yotes..It seems at times we have two packs sounding off back and forth..just after dusk
