That Bob guy probably catches more in footholds, faster than 99% of other trappers. There may be guys catching more than him, but not many.

Marty Senneker caught over 950

I've followed him for a while now, and yes there's plenty of feedlots in Kansas. However, I have no doubt that he'd do just as well in an open pasture, or up there next to you. I don't need to defend the man, but he's also talked about how he's told he only catches those numbers due to feedlots, and he pretty much has dispelled that. He also has lead the total Kansas cat catch for the seasons in his four weeks there (while other guys run the whole season) Kansas has an excellent biologist that does a great job following the cat catches.

The other thing I've found I like about Bob is he gives out free advice, and everything he's ever given me has turned out true. He's probably the first person that helped me see through the smoke and mirrors. He's got nothing to sell, and no one to impress. He's just a doer.

Trying to figure out who this Bob guy is. Any more hints? If you can give Marty's last name, why not Bob's?

I work on a ranch that is 42 sections, 18 miles west to east, and avg 2.5 miles north to south. I have 8 neighbors around my perimeter and there is only one that traps year long for coyotes like I do. I catch between 30 and 40 a year and have for the last 5 or 6 years. I'm sure that my neighbor that does trap year round catches more than that. I know that I could catch a lot more than what I do but the real responsibilities of my job, feeding cows, and sheep, checking water and fence, general maintenance, get in the way of running a big time trap line. I have it all set up in my mind how I would do it, how many traps I could start with, plus snares, just not enough time. But I still keep them in check and from eating a lot of deer, sheep, and calves.

What exactly is a feedlot?

I am the one that took the picture of Bob. He had 10 at this location two days in a row out of 12 sets. He caught 64 the 4 days I rode with him. A lot of sceptics on here saying the picture was staged etc. Tell me how you could realisticly stage something like that. Bob has a work ethic like no other and works like a well oiled machine.

Anyone remember that Ryan guy off YouTube from Saskatchewan? He made huge catches but hasn't posted anything in several years

You guys need to realize
Catching coyotes is one thing but all the hours putting up fur on top of it is another. Catching them is not the problem.

I knew it was someone from Nebraska that had taken the pic couldn't remember who. Bob really got me to think in terms of simple. Wish he'd post more. From personal feuds and people questioning authenticity I barely see him on anymore. Lynx lair was the last place I followed him regularly. It's too bad, he's a wealth of knowledge and isn't afraid to spread it for free.
