Critter Tread - Trapping

It’s been a month and no trapping content… I gotta fevah and the only prescription is more yotes!

I hadn't seen one since my last post on this thread but I kept traps out. I was out of town last weekend so I set them all off and left them out there. After the clown showed up yesterday morning, I reset them all yesterday. I doubt I would have caught him yesterday, he just strolled through briefly.
 
Just got a notification of a deer near one of my trap areas.

I went out a little later to make sure she didn't set any off. Damn was she close. She left a nice hoof print about a quarter inch from the trap pan.

I carefully used a stick to move the dirt and find the pan. She lucked out big time.

Ain't gonna lie. As happy as I am to not have to deal with regular yotes, I miss the the drama and strategy of trying to catch them. It's kind of become a normal morning chore until recently. One strolled through this morning but certainly not regular. I have no active traps out there due to hunting season approaching. But if he hangs around, it's game time.
 
I did some scouting where the yote has been coming out of the woodline. Unfortunately he can take many paths. The entire ground is matted pine needles so there was no definite trail. And the underbrush isn't that thick so he could navigate many options. Regardless, I put a camera covering the overall area where he goes from woods to field. If it's not raining later, I'll likely put in a couple traps. One will have the mouse squeaker. He'll be close enough to hear it no matter what.
