[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2965491, member: 91783"] What length of cable are you normally using? I'm pretty fortunate that I don't have any hogs to contend with. I think they would be like dealing with a supersized badger. I did one time catch a potbellied pig, that a woman turned out to find for itself, when she became unable to. Depending on where you are in the state, we do have some wolves. but I find it depends on where I put my sets as to what I catch I can pretty much determine what is going where and avoid the unwanted catches. What are the coyotes trained to in your area? Calls, snares and trap set types? I was talking to a younger guy the other day and told him that I use bigger locks and simmer my snares in baking soda he looked at me and said I buy the snares that have the black painted locks I don't have to treat my snares. And I think that the smaller locks work better than the bigger locks. I said okay let me show you what the difference is in one of mine and one of yours, the way they look and work. His 1/16-inch locks on 5/64 cable were binding on the cable as were his 5/64 locks on 3/32 cable. my cable was dull gray while his being new and untreated was shiny.
