dells68 7,498 #187 Posted March 7, 2018 Well, I'm having coyote problems on the farm. One howled at me a couple of weekends ago from about 30 yards above me on a ridge. Now, I'm trying to trap them with steel traps. Boogers are pretty sharp - they've robbed one of my sets about 4 nights and tripped the trap twice and no luck catching them. Anyway, Emory rode his blackhood with me to check them today. He had a blast (he gets a little serious as you can see by the look on his face). He's a little too light to get traction real well on uneven ground. I found a set of nos Trac weights on fleabay for only about $44 shipped. They look to have never even been filled. Hopefully it will help him go a little better! 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you said you were having coyote problems on the farm I figured you were having a problem with your "Coyote" Have you considered RV Antifreeze filling all four tires? Works well and won't cover up the pretty wheels. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #190 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Nope, Coyote is doing great and Emory is loving its brother Roadrunner! The coyotes I'm having trouble with are the four legged kind. Really starting to dislike those critters! Wiley sure does describe them. I've been wanting to get a few goats to keep some areas clean, but not until the coyotes are gone. They downed and killed a calf for a neighbor 2 weeks ago. Richard, I hadn't thought of that. Something to consider. It'll probably get at least the weights now. Maybe the 22hp Predator is a little bit much power. At this rate he'll have slicks on the back by showtime! Edited March 7, 2018 by dells68 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris G 3,296 #191 Posted March 7, 2018 Got the rear rims painted the other day for my custom 702. So i mounted the new tires today. This tractor is finally almost done. Been a long time coming but, well worth taking the time on it. 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They come right up on you - usually when it's dark and you can't see them! I'd like to send them your way! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian_Courts 77 #199 Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Killing the coyotes will only make things worse, it always does. Use effective non lethal deterrents & learn to admire them for the free pest/rodent control they provide.

ebinmaine 67,465 #200 Posted March 8, 2018 I have great respect for appropriate conservation efforts and as an avid outdoors person, I participate as much as I can. I'm not speaking for @dells68 or the Denver area as in the linked pamphlets. Part of the nature of being appropriate is recognizing proper local levels of every given native species and managing as needed. Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife does an excellent job of this IMHO. There are a few fish and land animals that have levels Far too high here. Coyote is one of them. They are - the pests..... Back to actual topic: I ground some of the rust off the seat today in prep for paint. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
