Another great video and lesson. Been trying to trap for the past three years now. This year I finally think I figured it out. Was running about 50 sets on a couple thousand acres over winter break and caught about 30 dogs in two weeks. Your videos on snaring and trapping has been a huge help. Thank you.
@@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790 Question. I recently switched to just rebar stakes like you. How do you pull them? I was just grabbing a vice grip on the top and pulling them up.
I use a pick ax when I’m pulling a lot of them. If it’s just an occasional one I use my hammer. If I have one that won’t come out, I use the winch on my Ranger. They do make a stake puller, but I haven’t tried that yet
Use snares versus trap line i was taught to always make sure if it is blown out to continue to use it every time and never let the catch cereal, be the main factor in moving the traps. Now if the traps were in an area where people were causing the problem then yes, relocate the trapline! The other justification for relocating is if you want to just harvest a certain amount of animals due to population To reduce the number of issues with people only using snares because people love to steal the traps, which can lead to an expense concern where snares can be made out of anything in the environment. If this situation regarding farmer's land concerns then I can see the reason for the relocation of the traps to many different locations to reduce the landscape concerns making sure that there is no property damage then we must relocate to prevent so that the farmer wants you to come back to work and reduce his own nutrients animal control. To make sure that you continue to have a contract with the land owners. However, what traps do you use to go after the wild boar if in your area of traping have you ever had to go after them, yet? I hear that the Canadian version of The Wild Boar is coming South to the northern part of America so we are going to be faced with the same issue as the Southern United States is dealing with are you ready for this situation that is endable that the whole nation is going to deal with this, problem ( The Wild Boar) that these inactive animals occurring in our own country. Sincerely! R.S.V.
You catching them, sir. A bucket of range cubes are a must when trapping around cows if they see you they check you out and where you have been. It's just something I've learned over the years trapping cow pastures. Crowed them up at the gate with the cubes and drive on. Great video
Hey Jeromy, I am so glad I have found you and your site? I just had my total knee Friday and now starts the process of rehabilitation. Then I’ll be out there with my fellow trappers! I can’t thank you enough! This sexy set of yours I know will produce some coyotes and cats for me here in Idaho. Thanks and keep them coming!
Definitely! I hope you heal fast, and can get out there. There is a lot of good sets out there, this one does work good for me just because I like to keep things super simple. Thanks for watching, I’ll have some bobcat videos coming up that has a similar set that works great. Thanks for watching
Awesome stuff Jeromy, a great simple set that works, you’re having a great season so far, can’t wait for the bobcat series! Thanks for taking us along for the ride 👍👍
You would have a blast trapping where i am. Lots of yotes, no deer, no frozen ground, but we do have wet clay ground!!! Unfortunately no trappers. Wish i could follow someone around but your videos are teaching me a lot. Keep up the great work!
Jeromy, This was a great series , our country is very simular to yours and you always give me ideas. Did catch 2 more coyotes yesterday using the snare supports , they work great. No luck with wolf's yet , they just have not been back. Thanks again
This series has been the best info! I love this set and will be trying it. I finally got snares out and we had two feet of snow and everything is under snow. Getting things reset so hopefully start catching again. Looking forward to the Bobcat series also!
Definitely been a great series, your hammering them coyotes. Good thing you didn't have that coyote over the shoulder when he decided to wake up. Thanks for taking us along!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the simplicity. I have been trying baits, gland lures and long call lures in all types of sets in Nebraska but haven’t been connecting. Once the snow allows me to get in I’m going to try out your foothold and snare sets.
Thanks For doing these trapping Videos Jeromy I really appreciate it. I have learned a ton from your trapping videos. I am in Utah so I am trapping the same type of country as you are.
Yip. That’s a simple set and works. Nice to see the grand daughter on the line. I take mine with me also. And I’m planning on starting next week. I plan on trying them #2 coil springs for yotes and cats.
Didn’t know if you got my email or not. Sent u a picture of me and my grand daughter. With a couple cats from last year. Got any good dog training tips for a first year dog on the line. ?
That rebar at times looks to be short. I have a dirt hole shovel that’s about 20 years old bent in places one wack over the ear and a couple heart stomps and most of the times don’t get back up. Hahahah. But a few does what happened to you. Have a good week.
Hahahah. My oldest son Mason’s would carry a full sized shovel… one hit and they wouldn’t get back up. In the video he was talking in the background about it while I was remaking a set. Sounds like you’ve got your shovel broke in. Lol
I didn’t get your email. I’ll go check! As far as a new pup, mine listen pretty good before I take them, and I just keep an eye on them, and if they go near the trap set I just scold them. If they do it again I let them…once they’re caught in the trap I scold them, and release them. They seem to remember, and associate the smell of the bait/ lure/urine as something they’re not interested in. The dog in this video hasn’t been trapped yet. He listens very good. My other dogs only got trapped one time each, and they just kind of hang back when we’re at a set. As far as snares…. That’s another story, they just sit down and wine until I come let them out. The cable is barely tight, and it’s just a inconvenience.
It is awesome, extremely warm… it’s actually a full fur vest with a huge collar. My wife bought it years ago at a second hand store for her picture props. I seen it, and claimed it for my own. I highly recommend getting one!
Im sure we all have our favorite lure , but I agree 100 % that nothing will catch more fur in a foothold than urine and a turd ! Put the set in their face ! Good stuff !
So good I watched it a second time. Are you using table salt as antifreeze? I’m also curious about your dispatch method. My 7 year old thought you club them so there isn’t blood. What are your thoughts on dispatch method? Thanks for your help and for taking the time to make these videos. Education and entertainment all in one.
Oh wow! Thank you. I use “mixing salt”. It’s made for livestock, and I buy it in 50lb bags for around $10 per bag. Most feed stores carry it. It works great. I also use it for my tanning. As far as dispatch… I’ve tried everything known, and I usually use my Eastwing ax, and use the poll right between the ears. Kills them quick with no blood. I recently lost my ax, so lately I have been using a rebar trap stake to rap them on the bridge of the nose, and then break their windpipe. Thanks for watching, and interacting
Thanks for another great video. Just got into snaring. Bought 12 and caught 4 so far. As i type i have a pack in front and a pack behind me cutting up. Want to get into trapping. Was thinking of duke 550 or 650s but i see you are running 2s. What would you suggest me to start out with?
Just about every trap on the market right now is good. I use the Duke #2. I catch a lot of coyotes, and they take a beating, and continue to work year after year. The price is about as economical as I can find. It’s my favorite hands down. Nothing wrong with other traps, but I do recommend using all the same trap if you can. It helps when you are making your set. It keeps everything consistent. I could go on for days about this topic. Great Question!
I know they're slightly larger and trapping conditions here are a little more challenging sometimes I've caught a few. But they seem to be a lot harder than Fox to trap. They're just not that curious sometimes like a fox is.
Really enjoyed the series! On your dispatch do you rap them on the nose first, then strike them on the jugular. I used to knock um down like a fox by rapping their nose with my trowel then striking the throat but usually had to kneel on their chest to finish the job. Now I shoot them in the chest with a 22 short but that creates a messy skinning job.
I do exactly that… a rod the nose, and go for the throat. It works about 75-80% of the time…. I used to shoot mine with a .22 also. My best method was my Eastwing ax, I use the poll of the ax on the top of the head. One hit and that’s all it took. It was fast, easy, and clean when skinning them. I lost my dang ax on the trapline earlier this season, and it hasn’t turned up yet. Thanks for watching, and commenting!
Great series really enjoyed it and lots of nice coyotes. I always learn something watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. My daughter Avery is still my trapping buddy as well as my son colin 5 yrs old. I think it makes it more fun having trapping buddies and making memories.
Great question. I use mixing salt for livestock. I buy it in 50lb bags for $9.99 per bag. I use for traps, and all my tanning. I get it from my local feed store
Thanks for the reply. I'm new to trapping and trap in the west as well. Lots of freezing and thawing. Have had the problem you mentioned with the big flashy stinky sets. I'm finding out that doesn't work well. Most of the coyotes I have caught have been simple trail sets. Also I've been using wax paper for pan covers. I like the idea of the underalls. Do you buy them made or do you make your own.
If you go to Walmart or Joanne fabric store, they sell a roll of 1/2” “project foam”. I just cut that into the size of my pan. It works great. You can several hundred under alls for less than $15
@@kariseitz1508 thanks for the question. I use mixing salt for livestock. I buy a 20 pound bag for $9.99 at my local feed store. It works just as good as anything I’ve tried. I do due and wax my traps to help protect them from the salt
Hey Jon. It is call an “underall” it is a soft foam pad that creates a void so the trap pan can fall. The other option would be a pan cover. The pan cover is a material that covers the pan so dirt doesn’t go under the pan, preventing it firing. I hope this answers your question. Thanks. For the question

@@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790 Ok. Do you dig down with the pickaxe or do you just stick the wide end under the head and pull?
I took my grinder with a cutoff wheel, and cut a small notch about 5/8” wide by 1” deep on the flat end of the pick. It works great
Glad you’re back. Your videos motivate me to get off my backside to set traps. Thanks!
Hahahaha. We all need some motivation! Thanks for watching

Thanks Frank! What’s your count now?
71 coyotes and 14 fox, I’m not targeting the fox but when you’re snaring I take whatever I catch
Sounds like you’re doing great! Thanks for sharing
You would have a blast trapping where i am. Lots of yotes, no deer, no frozen ground, but we do have wet clay ground!!! Unfortunately no trappers. Wish i could follow someone around but your videos are teaching me a lot. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate you watching! If you’re ever in Eastern Oregon in the winter you can run my trapline with me.
Great information and video. My favorite is that it’s a family affair, no one is left out. Good times.
Heck yeah, my kids won’t let me leave without them. They sure have fun, and get some fresh air too!
It's been fun watching your coyote series can't wait for Bobcat trapping from you👍
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch
Top 3 trapping content on the web Jeremy! Really appreciate your authentic look at how you do things!
Wow that’s quite a compliment, thank you very much!
Jeromy, This was a great series , our country is very simular to yours and you always give me ideas. Did catch 2 more coyotes yesterday using the snare supports , they work great.
No luck with wolf's yet , they just have not been back. Thanks again
That’s good news on the coyotes! I’m glad you liked the series. I appreciate your support Mike
What a tense awasome video!! Good one Cooley!! Keep it up. It’s always a strong watch your vids. Guna have to show how you club them!
Thank you Alex. I hope all is good for you on the trapline
This series has been the best info! I love this set and will be trying it. I finally got snares out and we had two feet of snow and everything is under snow. Getting things reset so hopefully start catching again. Looking forward to the Bobcat series also!
Thank you very much Brent! That’s bad luck with the snow. Good luck out there!
Great info even for us Texas hill country trappers! Keep up the good work! Love your videos!
That’s great! I appreciate the compliment

It’s been a great series Jeromy! I’ve really enjoyed the coyote line. I’m always learning from ya buddy 🙂🔥👍👍
Hey Craig! Glad to hear from you! I appreciate all your support.
that set looks like it really works well for you brother Great series on catching coyotes.
Thank you Coffey… looks like your having no troubles catching coyotes again this season.

Thanks Woody!
Love them #3 ,never had anything pull out except Mr couger
Heck yeah!

Great information thanks for sharing. You use red fox and coyote urine?
Definitely. I like red fox urine for catching coyotes before mating season. During mating season pretty much all coyote urine
Do you use red fox urine at bobcat sets?
Just stubbled onto your videos excellent
Thank you!
Good video sir. Great info
Thank you!
Would you please show how you pull your long rebar stakes out of the ground; Thank you for sharing your coyote trapping wisdom.
I sure will Gary… I’ll try to get that on a short for you, also I haven’t forgot about the willow hoop box. I’ll try to do both this week for you
Just thinking if there's anything different with the Eastern Coyotes?
I’m really not sure. I’ve never trapped over there…
I know they're slightly larger and trapping conditions here are a little more challenging sometimes I've caught a few. But they seem to be a lot harder than Fox to trap. They're just not that curious sometimes like a fox is.
WHAT DO YOU USE TO PULL UP YOUR HARD TO PULL STAKES ?
Great question. I use a pick ax that is slightly modified with a notch in the end of it. It works like a giant crowbar.
