No coyotes but a good weekend trapping!
I know it's not a coyote but we did call a couple in that weekend just had better luck trapping beavers and muskrats. I promise coyote pictures next time. It's great to be aboard!

I had a cousin that I use to trap with and he went off to the Navy. He has been gone the past 4 years and I really didn't do any trapping while he was gone, but now that he is out of the Navy we are at it again. He mainly runs the trapline and I help on weekend when it works for me. We've got about everything this year though we caught our first cat and have been getting our butts beat here lately by them. There aren't to many cats in area and it's a real trophy around here to get one so we should be happy with one. I guess to answer your ? I do trap coons we've caught over a 100 this year I think were just short of 100 beavers, several muskrats, badgers, mink and a few coyotes.

Coon trapping got in my blood when we used to have to trap them out of the sweet corn patch when I was a kid. We would use live traps it was so easy we would run set lines for catfish and put the catfish guts in the live trap and every morning they were full. I really think that trapping beavers is just as easy as trapping coons. Have you ever trapped beavers? Have never really trapped hard for coyotes just when you come across a surefire spot is about the only time I have made any coyote sets. Seeing and reading your pics gets the leg twitching though.

I get as ramped as my dog does when I see a coyote in a trap. Love trapping coyotes. You can get some pretty smart old beavers as well though. I have had a few that were making me look like an idiot. I would come back and my sets were all full of mud. I am not much of a beaver trapper. Or at least I do not have a ton of experience with them. I grew up walking the river bottoms with a .22 rim fire ambushing them. easier than trapping and in a boat we had some 20 beaver days. 22 I guess was our best with a boat and 2 guys.

I'm off work today it's like a hurricane outside imagine that. One of the local ranchers just called me and he's got a sheep killer running around. I think I'll get out some snares and see what happens he also has some badgers in the pasture he would like me to take care of. I've set snares before but far far from a pro. Nothing like you guys. I promised my wife no more copenhagen so I need to go find something to keep my mind busy.
