Nice cat! What traps are you using? Can't wait to see today's check.

Today coyotes. Also had a couple coons and several possums.

Had 10 traps ran over/tripped by fire crew ATVs. They have left now...burning completed for next few day anyway.

Bridger 2 dogless

Stay tuned....

Nice job! Keep em coming

Nice!

Excellent...

Love the annual ride along.

Thanks for sharing. I know this adds to an already busy day for you. I enjoy your pictures.

Great job! Love seeing trappers getting paid for their knowledge and hard work.

Great pictures I love the mixed bag It would be fun to run a line like that and not know what might be the next critter to be found in the next set . Do you generally trap for a mixed bag on Pay Jobs or is it sometimes focused on one or two species

Coyotes are the target predator most landowners want in check, but all other legal-to-take predators that eat fawns and eggs of game birds are asked to be taken also. If same andowner asks if I can/will remove beavers I advise that is a job in itself but I will set the easy to get to locations as I'm on the property for a 10 day minimum anyway. Any otters are a bonus, and I cant just ride by a good otter crossover or toilet....lol.

Down here in the Deep South it is the only way a trapper can afford to keep going.

Looks like where I was trapping in south ga. last spring, lol. Got the whole place set up then they set it on fire, fun fun fun dealing with all that going on.

Definitely a nice bag of critters. Thanks for letting us tag along. Congrats on your success so far..

hey Swamp Wolf what's your coyote population look like over there in SE Georgia? Right across the big river in the lowcountry of SC our numbers appear to be down. All the pen owners are scrambling to find game, coyote price for live market has doubled. My buyer traps himself every year. He usually catches 100-150 each year. Right now he's right at 50, and said he's trapped harder than ever. Lot of people thinking parvo, heartworms, or something as hit the population hard. I myself am on my usual numbers, but I have trapped more property than usual. Instead of pulling 5-8 coyotes from one property, it's 2-3 from here and there. You seeing anything similar over there?

I enjoy the Ride Along Swamp!! Looks like a good haul so far!

I'm enjoying this thread a lot! Thank you for taking the time to post and share.

Yeah..coyotes seem to be just starting to filter back onto the property they burned. About a thousand acres were blackened in a week or so.

Back at home at the Florida line we have a high population. I'm trapping now about 30 miles south of Augusta. This is 7th year here and there are not as many critters, including coyotes, as in past years. Not sure if thats due to me trapping here every year or some other reason. Critters always fill the void from adjoining properties so I doubt I'm making a big impact.
