Beautiful Wisconsin Coyote!

 I caught a nice 34 pound Wisconsin coyote this morning.  Her fur was so thick that it took me longer than usual to skin her because I could hardly get through her thick hindquarter fur! 3rd female coyote in this same spot this season.

This is the set I used, a urine post.  I found this anthill that a big male I've name Two Toes has been using (L), and set a Duke #4 coilspring accordingly (R).  I then put both coyote and red fox urine on the grass and that's it, brushed out my tracks and left it alone.  It had nothing hit it for a few days, I refreshed the urine last night, and caught her this morning! She was running with Two Toes, for I found his track right next to hers, but he's just too smart to catch! Stay tuned...

Blackie's Blend Magnum Call Lure review

A good friend introduced me to Blackie’s Blend Magnum call lure, and now I’m obsessed when pursuing critters when there’s no season. I use it frequently in tandem with trail cameras to see what critters come check it out here in Wisconsin.  I have had nearly every single furbearer in Wisconsin come by my scent posts with this lure.  Below are just some of the trail camera pictures I’ve caught with this lure.  The main character that seems to go crazy over this stuff is fisher.  Male or female, juvenile or adult, spring or winter, every fisher in the area can’t resist checking out my scent posts when this call lure is involved.  I've also had coyotes, otter, beaver and skunk come check this stuff out, but the camera never got a great picture.  Magnum Call Lure has a strong top odor of skunk, but is also a mix of glands, musks, castor and two food odors.  It has a tacky texture, so it’s easily spread on logs and branches to carry in the wind.  Blackie’s guarantees it weatherproof, and I agree because it remains able to be smelled by the human nose up to 200 yards and withstands the -30 temperatures we have here in Wisconsin.  Blackie’s produces potent lures that it can be used as a cover scent while calling predators, as an attractant on the trapline, or simply as a means to lure in critters for the camera, and the best thing is, it’s only $5.00 per ounce, which lasts all season long.

Some Magnum was spread on the deer hide hanging from that tree, but those apex predators aren't fooled easily!
