I wish I could say yes, but I can't. It's not looking like I'll have time to trap much. Hoping to see a bunch here from all of you other guy's lines.
Good luck this season Yotehunter!

I haven't had much time either badger do too being busy farming. But I did take advantage of the shitty weekend and dig the traps out. I'm planning on setting a few more yote sets this year and have to beef up the gear . Still got to order bait and lure yet and more steel for the yotes.

Same here man. But I'm going to snare them using the law of averages and hit them hard for two weeks in the jan/feb snow. There won't be a trail or hole in the brush that doesn't have a loop hung in it. You can buy 120 snares with locks, swivels, and stops for $145 at snareshop. I'm gonna knock their dicks in the dirt.
With the leg holds they are just a big fox Milo, it just takes a few adjustment's with your steel and placement and a little more patience than a fox good luck keep us posted.
Yea definitely two anchor and I'm going with shock springs on my yote traps. I cought one last year in a fox set and it was only a 1 1/2 and a single 24 inch stake and he had it over half way out before he pulled the jaw out lol. He truly destroyed that trap. I did get revenge a week or so later when I had him by both front feet.
I'm still using re rod with two swivels and 18 inch chain on my yote set. And use nothing smaller than1 3/4 Bridger steel.

The berks work well and I don't know bout tying off to a tree I'm sure it would hold with the right cable. Idk never tried that.
