okay so what we got here is we got to set that deers walk through the basically just punch it right up out of the ground so we're gonna make this thing they got a bottle of frozen urine here but that's okay it'll work I'm gonna clean this up clean this set location up clean this trap bed out a little bit just like this this is all really really good I like all this fresh dirt right here so let's get this trap set again popped right on the light latch there we're going to bed this trap back just a little ways here right in here in this area and then we're going to put our bait that's fresh right in here in the state of Ohio you can if you're gonna use fresh meat bass they have to be buried so we're going to bury this a little bit but what we're gonna bury it with there's a peat moss so that number one it should keep it from freezing up near as bad and number two it will help let the odor dissipate a little bit more we don't have to have it buried real deep we just got to have it buried I wanted to look like an animal's been in here he's been digging around I'm not gonna bury this trap real hard either get a pan cover sitting on top of that real quick or bury it too deep bend that thing down real good make sure that it's not gonna move if something steps on it just like this and I've got it backed off just a little bit from that fresh dig what it looks like something's been in there and I'm gonna scatter some dirt around to make it dark compared to the surroundings because I want an animal to believe that something's been in here digging around that's exactly what I want to happen I'll take some of this darker dirt and throw it up on top there's some of the snow

[Applause]

I'm gonna give this animal pretty wide berth here just sniff around and dig but I don't want to give them too big a berth either coyotes are kind of wary when it comes to your set so you're really kind of the biggest mistake I see with a lot of people that are making coyote so that's things like that is they don't give them a big enough area to work the set you really need to give them a pretty good sized area to work this set now it looks like an animal's been here digging around and that's exactly what I want to look like [Music]

[Music]

okay so we got ears eyes nose lower lips all intact so we're good shape there cut a couple holes in him he's got some matted fur and things like that he's got some blood on him so really we need to take his thing down to the creek and soak it get the blood out of it before we hang out to dry all right so here's our coyote meat that we just cut off there you see it's got some hair on here and there we can burn that hair off just by putting in the flames like this real quick burn all that hair right off of there we won't have to worry about that being in our food once we do that you know what I'm cooking like this I use Old Bay seasoning quite a bit I carry a big tin of it in my kit and the reason I do that is because I haven't found anything it doesn't taste good on and it's got salt and pepper in it at the same time so it's good for smoking meat your curing meat and it's also good in stews like this to flavor your meat you'll see get a piece of this coyote out of here see what that's looking like you see how that's cooking up I mean look at that and that looks like a beautiful piece of meat right there so we'll let that boil up a little bit more keep cooking her down until she's ready to go a key point for us to remember when we're cooking game especially in the wintertime is you almost always and I say almost always because there's always exceptions to every rule but boiling that meat will always give you the most nutritional value you can get from that meat and when you drink that broth you're going to get all the vitamin nutrients that have been sucked out of the meat by the boiling process plus any spices that you've put on the meat or in the water while you're cooking it it's going to warm you right up boiling that meat is your best bet any time it's going to kill any pathogens that might be on that meat there's another reason that we didn't eat any of the guts or the entrails of the coyote coyotes are known to carry heartworm just like dogs I'm not going to eat their heart I'm not going to eat their liver and things where diseases might be prevalent I'm only gonna eat the exterior meats of that coyote because he is a scavenger type animal but any meat that I cook I'm gonna boil to get the most out of the nutrients and vitamins that are in that meat and cooking it over an open fire by baking it or something like that is not going to give you that boiling is the only way you're going to accomplish that dunno that me tell you what you just don't know how good this guy of meat is til you've tasted it but I can tell you now that is a nice nice piece of meat where we are that's a good piece of Management

okay real fast tip or trick for you guys noticed I didn't cut this animal and the reason I didn't cut this animal was number one because it's kind of free solid very quickly so the guts aren't gonna have time to decompose and taint the meat especially the meat that's on the outside I'm not going to eat the inside meat inside the rib cage the loins and things like that I'm not gonna eat that kind of stuff I'm only gonna eat this exterior meat off the haunches for the most part then I can come in later with an axe and cut the whole thing up to use for bait for other traps buy one too but it keeps me from having to number one cut the animals begin with which is messy number two have Gus Ling here on the ground which I really don't need and number three if I have to gut this thing I've got to cut through the rib cage then I've got to reach in there to get the guts out and that can cause you to get cut on those broken ribs which is something that you don't want to mess with if you don't have to there's no reason for you to have to excuse my mouse a little bit frozen it's about minus four out right now there's no reason for you to have to risk an injury unless it's absolutely necessary and in this case it's absolutely unnecessary get that broth out of there and drink every bit of it you know have all the spices in it it'll warm you right up got that red pepper it's in that Old Bay seasoning makes that water real warming get that down in your guts I don't have to worry too much about super predators in this area of the United States anyway but let's talk about season to begin with right now in southern Ohio if there were any bears and I've seen some what I believe is bear sign out here in the wildlife area but I've never seen a bear bears hibernate in winter time they're probably not out looking for food I'm not too worried about them smelling this frozen carcass over here or this frozen blood on the ground if anything comes into my camp like a coon or a possum or another coyote or a bobcat I got something born test some more food for me you know I'm not worried about that in Southeast Ohio I'm thinking about the season I'm thinking about preserving the meat and I'm thinking about what predators or what scavengers possibly out here they're gonna come into my camp to possibly look for this meat there's nothing that's gonna come into this camp that I can't handle very easily with a 12-gauge shotgun and it's just gonna be more food for me that's just a quick thought for you guys this morning we're out setting a few snares and you can see there's a superhighway trail coming through here that comes over the top of this Bank it also comes down through here there's some rabbit scat there there is deer tracks in here there are dog tracks in here they go straight across to another superhighway going right under a fence line right here there's a lot of animal activity right here and that's what you're looking for if you're gonna set snares any trap you're gonna set you gotta set sign but snares are only gonna be effective the one time you catch an animal then it's pretty much gonna be trashed so you've got to be selective of where you put a snare I think what we're gonna do is we're gonna put a snare on this fence we're gonna cross the trail and put a snare in there that'll take up two snares I've only got a dozen with so I'll take two of them but I'm pretty confident in both of those areas and I'd rather set up two snares one opposite sides of this main logging trail that comes through here this old township road is no longer used and take a chance on catching something coming or going then just set one up on the fence because it's a pretty wide opening on the fence

dear can get underneath em very very easily so sneering offense may not be the best plan setting up back here in the woods on a pinch point or I know I'm gonna catch something and if a deer gets in it he's just gonna get his foot in and rip right out of it but a coyote or something like that or Coon would have to duck his head to get through it and that's when you're gonna put us head right now snare so that's what I'm gonna do right now hold on guys I'll show you how to set that up I [Applause]

picked out a spot in the trail here where there's a tree here and a tree here so there's kind of a forced area right here in between things and this is where I'm gonna put my snare I'm gonna use a snare stand here for this cause I want to get this thing exactly where I wanted to be because I want to put it kind of right in between the two trees just like this then I'm going to get my snare set up and this is a bobcat snare but it works really good for coyotes as well as raccoons so I'll go ahead and pull that thing up about where I wanted I put my whammy on the snare stand just like this see how big I want that snare to be if I want that thing big enough for a coyote it's got to be like basketball size like this back it up just a little bit put it right center of the trail make sure it's even with the trail this direction I don't want it tilted at all I just wanted to naturally walk right through it I'm going to go ahead and wire it to a tree here real quick the pair of side cuts

exactly

then these down out of the way it's important to get any sharp wires and things out of your way because the animals in an area where he's going to get entangled when he walks through this stuff you do not want that animal to tear up his fur make any final adjustments and then I'm gonna put up just a little bit of fencing and I'm gonna flag the area right out here so I know flag it on this branch above so that I know where my snares out later from the trail and now I'll just grab a couple pieces of sticks and things like that fizzling out here loose and I'll just kind of put one here leaned against this tree in this Fork I'll take another one I can get out here and just kind of lay it right here real simple just like this he's gonna avoid this like the plague so I don't have to worry about it once I get that in there now hopefully a deer is gonna step over this but we can put a trip stick in here above this to make sure if a deer does come down this trail he steps over it and that's the best thing for us to do so if I can find something big enough to wedge over top of this I'm going to put a trip stick in here as well you
