Here's a photo taken last winter, from our kitchen window.
In the winter, I throw a big cup of mixed bird seed in the driveway, every morning before I leave. These guys like it as well, although I feed them cracked corn and Milo at a different spot up the road.

Any you all ever tried live traps for yotes?

I am thinking this is going to be the only safe way to not catch the pets in the back area with other traps.

Cam still catching the yotes passing through 2am-6am in dark.

Then once trapped I will

Yes, they are way too smart for that. The number 3 bridger will hold them if you can get him to step on it. Leave as little scent as possible when digging your set. Check out trapperman.com lots of good info on there.
Just noticed the pets part, You might have to get out of the pets range with said info. Which is not going to be easy to do. Do you have a good place to set a snare?

Good luck, Don't think that is going to work very often. I will try to get pics of my big coyote trap by next week I hope. ( Give that bastard to me and I will take care of him. )

Dont have night lite scope. Used to call with red light after dark. But just not in my time line anymore.

@srb08...how are ya Steve?...Hope everything is going well and good your way. Great pic of the turkey birds you posted up. Man I'd love to diaphragm or slate call a couple of those 0l' wary Toms in. Would be a blast. Those old Toms are damn smart birds.

Doing well Jason. Been moving firewood to the house, getting things in order before the weather changes and trying to do a little bow hunting.
How are things in Ga? Are you back to normal, having any fun?

I'm doing good Steve after the heart cath and a couple of stints. I ain't felt better in I couldn't tell ya how long. Job getting those *a-hole C-17's outta those hangars and back in the air ain't changed, for damn sure, but we ain't missed a deadline yet returning their planes after a crazy amount of flight hour maintenance that's due.

Hope everything is good your way brother with yourself and family.

I picked this up a couple of days ago.
Old tang safety Ruger M77 RSI in .270, with a Leupold VX2 3x9 scope.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Mannlicher stocked rifles.
With the 20" barrel, they are perfect for carry in a scabbard.
