snare trapping yotes.
I made 10 snares the other day and want to try snaring yotes. This will be my first time so any tips or advice would be great! Most the land i will be trapping is cattail swamps along a river. One of my questions is how to fasten the trap with no trees or anything to wire it to? thanks everyone!

Re: snare trapping yotes.
See if you can drive a metal rod or fence post down.  If not, may want to do that next spring when the ground thaws.

Re: snare trapping yotes.
In cattails you'll have to use kill poles.   Not only do you not have anything to anchor to you also don't have anything for your support wire and whammy.   I could explain a kill pole but just google it so  you can actually see what one is.   Blend everything the BEST you can to avoid stall outs.   Another great thing to do, and I would if I were you, is to start a bait station.   Deer carcasses are best, but anything you can get a hold of will work.   Let them find it and begin making trails to the station.   Set the trails a ways back as to not ruin the station with a catch too close to it.   Good luck and keep me posted!!!

Re: snare trapping yotes.
If the catails are  thick a weight/drag could work. Also one could support the snare with a piece of wire bent to a sideways s and wired firmly to a thick clump of cattails.

I have never used a wammy but some really like them and others think it's just more stuff to cluter up a prefectly functional snare. Why I havn't tried them is just "if it works don't fix it mentality".

Nice. Hard to tell in the pic but it don't seem to be rubbed. Looks like a pretty good one.

Re: snare trapping yotes.
He looks pretty.  We have coyotes that have come into our yard in town.  I would like to trap them without catching my cat.  will snares also catch cats?

Make your first shot count, it might be the only one you get.

They could catch a cat but if they are set with a loop for a coyote I doubt it.
