I'm not trying to be negative or anyting but I'm just curious do you always walk on the trail where the coyotes are walking.. I learned over the years never to walk on the trail of the animals that I am snaring for. My catchers have multiplied immensely when I don't walk on the trails. just asking that's all. Nice video.
Once I set a cable I stay as far away as possible. I have tried walking the trails and coming in from the side to set them, and have heard theories on both methods. This season has been a battle with the snow. I have been constantly reopening the trails after heavy snow had flattened everything. No doubt constantly walking the trails has a negative impact on catches. Thanks for watching.
I usually spray paint them with flat camouflage paint. I did boil some in trap dye last week. Can’t say whether I recommend it or not until I try it this season.
Live More Outdoors I thought about the spray paint thing but didn’t know if it would slow the speed of them closing... I had always heard to never boil them and can’t really find anything about just putting them in the dye solution without boiling it Maybe I’ll just paint them and see how that goes...thank you for the quick reply I enjoy your channel very much👍
Great video. I'm not very good at catching K9s but I do have my cable restraint certificate for PA. I really like your setup... a lot quicker than mine
Thanks Craig. It’s cool that the cable restraints class can be done online. With travel time and the actual class, it took an entire day for me. Good for everybody else who can take it online. Thanks for watching man.
I use about 24” for Fox and 30” for coyote. (60 & 75 cm.) This gives me plenty to drive into the ground. We have a 36 hour check time. Gives us a little leeway.
What gauge of aircraft cable do you use for your restraints? Our minimum requirement in Ontario is 3/32" but I have had chew off problems. I am now going with 1/8".
We use 3/32" galv. steel cable. I have only caught a couple coyotes in them, but they were in 1x19. They were chewed on heavily but just deformed. The 1x19 is definitely tougher than 7x7. I'm not sure if we can use 1/8". It's a highly regulated device here. I'm surprised you have to use restraints in Ontario. I thought you would be able to use snares there. Unless you're using them for live market.
Thanks for the video. I got a lot to learn. I guess here in Pa we gota take a class. Also. Where do you get your cable restraints from. And what do you use to make support Wires. Any info greatly appreciated. Goodluck on them coyotes
Thanks for watching the video. Trust me I got a lot to learn myself. I miss three Fox last night in cable restraints. Yeah you have to take a class to get certified, but I think you can do it online now. I get my support wire from the local Lowes store. It’s number nine wire that is galvanized and is malleable. In my opinion it works better than the stuff you get at a trapping supply store. I bought my initial cable restraint from Dakota line, but now I make my own. Once you make a catch the parts are reusable. I have a video on making the cable restraint. Good luck if you take the class! Let me know if you have anymore questions.
season ends in 10 days in Pa. Then what? Have you any plans on attending NTA convention in Michigan? I think you would enjoy it. Sometime in July 2018.
Some spring gobbler hunting then beekeeping in the summer. I'm sure I'd love it; however, my wife's MS limits my traveling. I'm not whining. It's just part of our lives. I feel blessed just to be able to enjoy the outdoors around home. Hope you have a blessed spring/summer.
Is there a difference between a cable restraint and a snare? I’ve only used coil springs in the past and I don’t know much about this kind of trapping but would like to give it a try next season
A cable restraint is designed to just hold the animal there and is dispatched or released by the trapper. They are a live catch device. That is why we can't have any entanglements; otherwise an animal, especially a non-target, could strangle itself. A snare is very similar in design, but they a usually set so the animal will be dispatched by the snare itself. It all depends on your state's regulations as to what is legal. In PA, we have a highly regulated CR season.
Zip locks are my peat moss ,wax dirt, and dry grass containers. Lightening and condensing your pack for remakes
Is that 1 by 19 cable and what size cable? Thanks for sharing.
I can’t remember if it was 1x19 or 7x7 in that video, but I now use 1x19 for coyote and 7x7 for fox. Both of them are 3/32” in diameter.
@@LiveMoreOutdoors Thanks so much! I enjoy your vids!

@@LiveMoreOutdoors thanks for answering back. I was just curious that's all. but a very good video hope to see many more down the road.
Do you do anything to dye your cables?
I usually spray paint them with flat camouflage paint. I did boil some in trap dye last week. Can’t say whether I recommend it or not until I try it this season.

Try a very light coat. Just enough to break up the outline. Thanks for watching Bryan.
This video was one of the best I ever been able to see it all very clear. 😊thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Garrett. Cable restraints are a neat change up to foot holds.
Very good video. Very informative.

The class is on the PGC website. The cost is around 34 dollars. Takes around two hours to do. After you pass the test you can print your certificate.
Where do you keep all your bait,lures, urine etc during the warm PA summers
Just in a sealed bucket in a COOL dark place.
Looks like a great spot!!! Good Luck!!!
Wat are using for support wires?
Thanks. I use #9 wire. The best wire I have found so far is from Lowe’s.
How long are your support wires and don't you have to check that every 24 hours I know here in Ontario it's every 24 hours for cable restraints
I use about 24” for Fox and 30” for coyote. (60 & 75 cm.) This gives me plenty to drive into the ground. We have a 36 hour check time. Gives us a little leeway.

Southern Ontario is cable restraints only for coyotes. Northern Ontario kill snares are legal. Thanks for the information.
Got ya! Good luck with the 1/8” cable.

You can take the cable class on line in Pa. Takes about two hrs.
Craig Bixler ok great. Is that on the PGC website
Andy Jackson I assume it’s on the pgc website. Hopefully Craig can clarify.
Yes.

Ok thanks. In my area I’m afraid of catching a dog so a cable restraint won’t harm the animal if there aren’t any entanglements
Good luck man
Thanks!
Exclent Video watch you all the time
Thanks Bill. I appreciate it.
Awesome video not alotbon restraints! Just subscribed. Just started my trapping channel stop in
Just checked out your channel and watched a few videos. Good looking trapping territory and good content. I subscribed.
Could I put them in the freezer
Wouldn’t hurt them. Just make sure they’re sealed well.☠️
Nice job man.good luck.
Thanks Brian.
Woo!!
