He's looking for Cold Ethyl

Yep. He was sniffing all around there. Wondered why she didn't come back from the buffet the other night.

I guess possums like the mouse squeaker too.

Who does #2 work for?

Got him on a mouse squeaker at 4am.

I also had this blue dog toy with coyote gland lure on it. He tore the shit out of that thing.

I had an armadillo rooting up our lawn last night, no pics but sent him to the happy hunting ground.

This is the trap that got him. The dead mouse is long gone, pic was from months ago but I have put bait in it's place as recent as a week ago. Tunnel is dug under brick so the squeak noise comes out. Blue dot near brick is trap and there is also one in front of that as he approaches. And a stick in between the traps. He has to step in front of or over the stick to investigate. Either step is No Bueno for him. The trap furthest from the brick got him. Squeaker noise for sure drew him in.

Did you use thermal or he was visible from outside light?

Congrats on #2!

I have flashlight mounted to a supressed 22, shooting sub-sonic. I'm outside city limits and have good distance from my neighbors, so no worries there.

Nice setup!

 

[WJCO]

Nice setup!

Thanks. This one i kind of brainstormed myself after finding out those mouse squeaker existed so it feels good that it worked. This is only the 2nd time of seeing coyotes right here since I built the trap and both times the noise definitely got their attention.

Lol congrats again!!

 

[WJCO]

Pretty sure there's no more here now, but leaving traps out for awhile just to make sure. Pet store was out of the little blue unicorns so next clown gets a dinosaur.

Try toys with catnip in them.

My Golden Retarded goes bat shit over the cats' toys with it.

Good to know. I've seen some guys online use it on their bobcat sets.
