I finally got them dyed and waxed and set out my first coyote sets ever. This is my first trapping season since I was a child with my grandpa. 25 years in the army makes trapping, hunting and fishing pretty hard to do. I’ve been reading a lot about coyotes and coon trapping on this site and I really appreciate the amount of knowledge shared. I’ve had coyote and coon tracks, scat and sign all over my hay fields. Especially the one bordering the state forest. I love see how I did in the next few days. Wish me luck! We’re airborne! We are supposed to be surrounded!

And thanks for your service. I only did 4 years... but 4 years in the Marines is just about equal to 25 years in the ARMY. Real name Eric The sharpest hammer in the box of crayons.

The most important thing the Marines do is guard the Navy's gates I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
