My best ever was forty four, and I worked darn hard to hit that. I can't imagine 400. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

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. Difference is Bob does in four weeks what other guys do in three months. It's a shame you still can't use a guys last name on here.

Very true WR.
The guys that catch those big numbers are dedicated to what they do. But a lot of them trap these huge feed lots and In some cases there Is no shortage of coyotes. I know a guy who caught 90 coyotes off of 1 feed lot. You need a large population of coyotes to do those numbers.
There was a picture of what's his name where you can see 12 coyotes In that picture.

A few things.
You do not need access to much land if you are running baits. Ten or twelve catches a bait station, 10 stations, equals 100 yotes. put a bait station every few miles. Couple hundred square feet per station, draw in yotes from a couple sections of land.
Snare. Catching yotes in snares is child’s play. Re fast to set up a dozen snares, compared to a dozen traps.
Only thing holding me back from going harder up here, is the cost of rams...
I plan to use this years yote income solely to buy more snares for next year. 20 dozen is the plan.
24 bait stations, ten snares at each, should yield a couple hundred yotes.
All sounds so easy. Lol. It is, really, if you got good yotes and nothing else to do! Until you thaw them out, and start skinning 200 when spring comes! Lol

Amazing numbers! I had a personal goal of 5 yotes and have caught 6 so far. I'm ecstatic about surpassing my goal. I can't imagine catching 50, let alone HUNDREDS! Then again, I've never set a snare/cable restraint.
When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

Marty Senneker caught over 950 Does that include ADC work. Does Marty put up his own fur. Either way he is a h#ll of a trapper. Can't deny that.

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. He wouldn't do as good here because we don't have a lot of coyotes. You need a huge coyote population to catch big numbers. Bob and I go back at least 30 years. I took instruction from him when I was just a young buck.

Pud long in the 40s caught according to the paper back then 1000 something coyotes not counting other stuff in Oregon. I would say use what he had to use he was a trapper . And there others of that era and now that are good.
