14 COYOTE DAY- Coyote Trapping at the start of Calving season

[@jasonhoesel7144]

Hell of a good day of checking traps. Thanks for taking us along.

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Hey Jason! I spent a few hours in the fur shed that next day lol

[@twotwentyswift]

Jack's a winner. You're awfully lucky to have an awesome guy like him to go trapping with! 👏

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Heck yeah! He is extremely helpful, and doesn’t charge to much

[@williamreese9537]

Thanks Mr. Cooley. Appreciate your videos and your willingness to tell it like it is and show exactly how you make your sets. Great to see you bringing the kids along.

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Thank you for the compliment. I have spent lots of time and energy learning some of the techniques, and I love being to share them with people who might appreciate them. Thanks again!

[@jeffsettles5125]

Incredible catches thats alot of coyotes in one check. They definitely know when calving season starts

[@tommurphy6972]

Great watching you catch yots!! The best part is having your kids a long, and that Jack is a worker!! Would be fun to tag a long one weekend

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Anytime you want to tag along Tom let me know. I’ve pulled most of my traplines except for this one that is on the video. Jack did most of the work, except for pulling the rebar stakes. He is very high energy, and very helpful

[@tommurphy6972]

great, your purty much done for this year aren't ya, maybe next fall when the season start again

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Heck yeah Tom get ahold of me next Fall. I’ll be starting around November 1 and running through Mid February.

[@MarksTrappingandOutdoors]

Great video as always. Great job.

[@frankhengstler6101]

Awesome stuff Jeromy, that’s a great check, those coyotes know when the cows start calving, afterbirth and still borns are easy meals for them, they’ll grab a new born calf if they get the chance too, thanks for taking us along for the ride 👍👍

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Thanks for watching Frank!

[@dustytinner5211]

Another awesome day trapping with the family! I really enjoyed this video!

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Thank you Dusty. I’m glad to post them

[@tomkatoutdoor6374]

Well done. A follow up for me 90 yotes 15 cats 4 otters.

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Wow! That’s awesome numbers! Are you done for the season, or still going?

[@tomkatoutdoor6374]

Done might throw n some beaver traps later on

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Awesome day out for y’all Jeromy! Really great job and numbers buddy! 🙂🔥👏👏

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Hey Craig! Thanks

[@timothydembeck2980]

That is so awesome thanks for taking us along the kids are so into it that’s great

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

You’re right…the kids love it, and they’re getting some good life lessons too along the way

[@Trapper_Tom]

What a day on the line! Would love to get more into snaring coyotes down here in TN, seems to be an affordable way to go for sure and a nice way to cover some ground. Great video sir!

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

I’m always surprised how good the snares do every year… thanks for checking out the video

[@cocoaman435]

Dang!!! Another awesome video, nice catch’s, that’s a good amount of dogs. Good one jack. Good one Cooley. Me and my boys watched it! Way awesome thanks for sharing.

[@cofieldcountryoutdoors4567]

Great video it amazing when that after birth hits the ground they come running

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

It sure is! These are the only cattle in this area. The closest herd to these is 20 miles away. Makes for a good hotspot for a month or so

[@cofieldcountryoutdoors4567]

@Jeromy Cooley- Out West Adventures those types of places are great even in late December and January because the ranchers have to feed high protein feed. The yotes pick the manure quite a bit. The numbers aren't as high, but the fur is better. Also, the heifers start leaking fluid some.

[@mikequesenberry5344]

Wow great day , its fun to get on those Ranches that have not been trapped in a few years to get the big old dogs. You had a good day with your family. Were done with everything here but wolf's , it goes to the 15th. of March . Picked up a 80lb female 4 days ago in a foothold. You guys take care.

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Dang that awesome Mike. Good luck the rest of the season!

[@CoffeyOutdoors]

thats an awesome check day brother

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Thank you! It was alot of fun in the fur shed. Lol

[@rippingbugles6091]

Jeromy I think you should do a trapping clinic for us newbies!

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

I would love to

[@raydowdy6914]

Which Duke 2 do you use? Also what pan tension do you use

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

I use the Duke #2 square jaw offset. I use really light pan tension. I take the trap out of the box, and loosen the screw until the pan falls with gravity. Maybe one out of every 100 coyotes I catch end up toe caught. I usually have a a bobcat or two per season toe caught, but never sprung traps without anything in them. Zero pan tension is the opposite of what most experts say, but the proof speaks for itself. Great question

[@justintipton6641]

Hello jeromy my name is Justin I’m currently getting into trapping and I live in Nevada is there any way to get ahold of you with a couple of questions I have thank you for your time

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Hey Justin… shoot me an email: [e-mail]

[@timothycooley8337]

Amazing video.....Amazing coyote numbers. I've never seen anything like this before. Sure must make for a lot of time in the fur shed. It'd take me a week to skin, flesh, wash and board all those coyotes! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ottercat8527]

Good stuff ! Snares are the best tool for that job for sure ! Do you find that they ignore baited sets when the cows are calving ?

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

I definitely do. I think with them breeding and cows calving they run right past any sets unless it’s a urine, or gland smell.

[@WildAboutBeingOutdoors]

WOW! Great job. That place must be infested with the coyotes. You should do have some great help😊👍🏻

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

You’re right Chip! Thanks

[@dominionpredatorcontrol1091]

That's a damn good day there bud

[@jimmywipf6493]

Man your coyote population is thicker than our mouse population.

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

This area is very unique. The trapper before me would get around 100 coyotes on this ranch every season. It is about 40,000 acres. It hasn’t been trapped for two seasons so I expected it to be thick with coyotes, but not this thick. The rest of the area I trap is about average coyote population. Some ranches I’ve trapped this year, I only have caught 5 coyotes. Other ranches I’ve caught 35. Keep in mind these Ranches are 10,000-50,000 acre each. Thanks for the comment.

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

I've never seen one chew its foot off either that was wild! That was a great day! There sure is a problem there! I'm sure you'll take care of that! Good luck with everything my friend!

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Thanks Mark!

[@caroltenge5147]

You think its wild to see that a desperate animal chewed its foot off to escape? Do you think thats funny? Sick.

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

@@caroltenge5147 I don't think it's funny just uncommon! Thank you for your uneducated response and support to my friends channel!

[@SbrGrendel65]

@@caroltenge5147 you didn’t even listen to the video. Those Wild Coyotes are going after Cows that are giving birth. People complain about the price of beef as it is. Just imagine how much it would go up to if those animals Where left unchecked. We wouldn’t have a Deer, Pronghorn, Rabbit population and they would go after your pets. For the most part people don’t understand, trapping, hunting is population control and conservation. Anyways thanks for watching snd commenting on Jeromys video you help the algorithm

[@kennethbriody8396]

Question do you get a lot of coyotes with the water head, seem like you have as many alive in your snares as dead,anther question is why do you use mico locks instead of vam locs?

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Great questions. I do get a lot of coyotes with the melon head. It’s not too much fun when I’m skinning, but I guess it part of the job. As far as locks, there is a lot of great locks out there. I use the micro locks because it has a very small profile, and i haven’t had any substantial fur damage due to the lock. I make my own snares, and it it very quick, cheap, and easy. It’s totally personal preference. I don’t think they work any better, or worse than a cam lock. As far as having coyotes dead or alive, and cam lock vs micro locks, it definitely has to do with how I’m rigging my snares. Most all of my sets are made using entanglement. I realize that’s not legal in alot of states, but it is here in Oregon. I rely on the coyote wrapping around something enough to snug down the snare. If I used a short cable, with a solid anchor point, that the coyote could pull and draw the snare down tight I would have alot less live coyotes. When I used just a short cable, with a solid anchor I would have a 75% chew out rate. It only took me about a week to change my tactics back to long cables with entanglement. This is a great topic, and everyone has a strong opinion. I say to each there own. Find a system that works for you, and trust it.

[@kennethbriody8396]

Your right it's what you prefer, I myself like cam locs better I also do the entanglement method here in nm. I use 50lb kill springs on about 1/2 of them had good success with kill spring on mico loc as well,dont get to many melon headed coyotes.I ought to send you a pic caught one by a hond leg ,in a fence line of a dairy / feed lot the cows in that pasture had him treed on top of the fence, have you ever trapped around a dairy, the one I trapped lot an lot of coyotes but damm they were so fat it was like flashing a damm beaver and were just plain nasty

[@halliwilljon]

Lol, im trying to figure out what duck hunters have to do with this, than i realized you said duck unders.....

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Hahahhhah. I need to speak more clearly. lol

[@frankroy9423]

That's saving plenty of calves and cows.

[@SbrGrendel65]

Jeremy are you uploading trapping videos this year in 2024? Hope all is well sir.

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

It’s funny you should ask… I’ve got one that is 91% uploaded to KZbin right now. It’s been taking a long time for the videos to upload. Hopefully in the next day or so. Thanks for being patient

Good job cooley

Thank you!

[@charlessmith-vh9cw]

trappers are the lowest form of person. cruel beings who think it is fine to keep an animal in agony for hours and hours when livestock guardian dogs will solve the problem

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

@@charlessmith-vh9cw if you only knew about the topic your commenting on that would be helpful

[@915fatty]

Why do you cut the snare rather than just loosen it and reset it right where it is?

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

Great question. The snares are ruined after each catch. I build all my own, and the time spent trying to straighten out the bent snare is counterproductive. It is very possible to do, but I just swap them out real quick, and I’m out about $.030 for the ruined cable. I reuse the trap tags, and locks. Thanks for the question!

[@915fatty]

@@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790 I didn't realize it kinks the cable and ruins it. That makes sense now.

[@jeromycooley-outwestadvent5790]

It was a great question for sure
