Checked my traps the other day on one of the coldest days of the year. When I walked up to him he started flipping out. First he started growling and jumping around biting everything in sight. Even the hair on his back was up. I never caught a coyote by the back foot before which was kind of surprising , especially since I had a few guide sticks around the pan. The best thing about this cold weather is that you will rarely catch any non target animals like coons , opossums and skunks.
