Just to update you, we caught a second coyote in a Collarum™ today only a week after the first one. It was large animal and despite some very determined efforts to escape, was completely uninjured by the trap.

We had great success using the Collarum™ last week right in the middle of urban Los Angeles County. In three days we caught three coyotes. None of the animals suffered injuries from the trap. For bait we used a piece of fleece or terry cloth towel tied to the "T" bait cap. The fleece or towel was then soaked with a slurry of canned dog food and glycerine.

...the Collarums are still our best tool by far. We caught 35 coyotes this year in the traps...in heavily urbanized Los Angeles County.

Just a quick note to let you know I have only had one occasion to use the Collarum™ . I had two nights to get a trap shy (foot snare) Coyote on campus in June prior to our graduation, and Collarum'd him on the second night. Used a sugar cane plant as a cubby type set. The coyote was tired as heck and the former clump was 6' of trash but the snare was in good shape. I like the trap and have recommended it to L.A. Co. and others!
Now onto other research, so bye for now and congratulations on your great trap.

"I put the Collarum™ out the first weekend I got it. In three days I caught two stray/feral dogs that local Animal Control Officers had been after for two years. They'd run out of options. I look forward to using it again in similar circumstances."

"I've caught] Two dogs, 1 yote and 1 ole wolf (timber). I cant say enough that if you direct the animal between something to center them on the pull tab , you got em! I put a paws trip shock spring on cable and used the nonlocking set up. I found no damage outside of animals, (24 hr check) wolf and yote were easier to release than the two dogs. Animals all ran away with normal gait, yote and wolf actually stopped and looked back when aways away. This is just a small catch but yr system works."

I have used the Collarum™ for two months and have had great success. So far, 7 coyotes and 33 "dogs-at-large" with these. I have started cleaning up our city of dogs bothering local livestock.
