It seems to me it would be more efficient to have several lines with maybe 2 and 3 day checks. The big number guys are trapping these feed lots where their knocking down 10 + coyotes at a time. You have 10 or more feed lots set up It won't take to long to put up some big numbers.
But you would have to state hop and do ADC work In the summer. And of coarse you would have to get paid decent money per head.

That answers the why.At fur prices and with the added work of put up, the incentive fades after a certain effort is used. take away the weeks of skinning and scraping and pay enough, the incentive returns. You can hit numbers pretty quick by dennig in areas that you didn't trap. Multiple states isn't new to the numbers guys in any event.

Beav you crack me up. Not everybody traps feed lots. Many use simple bait stations.Numbers are merely how hard a guy works over a determined amount of ground and population density in that area.

X2. Met a guy from on here recently that catches 200+ in 2 weeks on his vacation from work. Dont believe he traps feedlots from talking to him.

I don’t know, but with those numbers one might melt the sheaves out of ADC’s skinning machines, with the speed and work it would do. laugh

My God, and I worked my butt off one year to hit 44.
I feel so small now compared you guys!

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Anyone know what doc (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)'s best season is?

Local 'ol fella by the name of Carl Stearns has knocked down over 300 in less than a month trapping Texas.

I would have to see this happen lots of wind in them prairies .I am old and set about 25 sets or less my average is like 2.2 per day of trapping a 10 mile by 30 mile area . When the snow gets over a couple inches and the wind blows it dwindles to a handful a week not even 1 per day Then comes the Ground pounders and the Houndog chasers and I pack up!

Marty was going to break a 1000 one year but his truck broke down so when he got a new one his numbers went way down, scent off his new carpet is what he figured happened.
that was when they were worth 50 bucks not 150 like now and a lot of others are in the works now.
It does take a walk in semi trailer freezer to handle the take, to catch up after the season.

That's the way to get that job done.24 hr. checks or twice a day checks would be a absolute joke and a waste of time on a long line here in the north country.

If a midwest county was 35 miles x 35 miles, you'd only need to take one coyote per square mile in the county and you gotcha 1,000.
Seems easy enough.

Anyone that would even suggest twice a day checks on a coyote line reveals their knowledge of lack thereof.

Maybe check #1 is when you drive in and check #2 is again when you drove out crazy

And you wouldn't add to the numbers much with ADC work because predator control aspect isn't about big numbers per se.
As an example, I have traps in the ground now (as I do about 8 months a year) but I'm actually trapping for specific coyotes that need to be culled versus running miles of traps on a fur line after various coyotes.
This current ranch has a pair of dogs as near as I can tell that maraud about once a week, killing game species about once every two weeks. They need to go asap. Trouble is typical in the ADC sphere.... owner/rancher has had repeated trappers and predator callers in and outta here after these coyotes for about 5 months... and now I'm hired. You talk about tricky doggies. They were giggling in the bushes as they saw my truck and trailer pull in I swear.
But I will show them a coyote!! Or two if the Lord is willing!!

I checked my spreadsheet for a solid year (2018) where I trapped 326 coyotes in 8+ months;
50% came in 5 weeks on a fur line...
And the other 50% came from 7 months of ADC jobs.

You need to be a fur trapper for the numbers wink

Mark
100% correct.I trap for fur but also have a animal nuisance control business.Fur is about numbers,,nuisance work is about getting rid of specific animals.For me,the nuisance work usually pays off better with less work.Plus,with my nuisance control license,,I can do that all year around.
