LOL

I am sure his carcass pictures are still floating around.I consider Bob a friend.

That guy that did 800 coyotes in footholds in Canada ,,, kudos to him that quit the feat ,,,in conditions and regs they also have .
Well done

17 plus coyotes per day average is stacking em up. And to maintain that kind of average for over a month....that's impressive.

A southern trapper will work like a field mule to maintain a 2 to 3 coyote per day average over a couple months.

1000 coyotes isn’t that hard, the hard part for most is taking 90-100 days off from life to do it. The biggest catch I personally know of this season was 650 in 75 days and 450 in 22 days. I have no doubt these guys can catch a 1000 coyotes given the time.

I am lucky that I got to ride with Bob the year he made his 600 catch. It was quite the experience. He caught 64 in the 4 days I was there. At that time I introduced him to a skinning machine!

Souther trapper has wheels, bob lives in Indiana but that isn't where he caught the 600 in 5 weeks.

600?


That's our paradigm?


what are the known catches in this universe?

Seben

You know somebody putting more than 600 in the truck in 5 weeks Marty? Gas station stops not included.

Swamp Wolf,

He's referring to me .

But having done my Predator Academy in Kansas, I can tell ya that Dorothy and her little dog coulda caught a pile there cause they got 'em.

It not worthwhile to compare trappers as I've trapped 18 states and the concentration on dogs in those states varies greatly. Greatly.

Bob from IN is determined no matter what he goes after. He's a bit more confident than most are used to and that rubs some the wrong way but Bob and I have been associates in the trapping biz a good long while. He sets his mind to it to this day... it'll get done I'm sure.

I've noticed one thing about almost all trappers that have caught more than the average on any species - they respect fellow trappers who have busted more than the average (by far) hump to put a pile of critters in a fur pile. It's the dudes and dudettes that don't catch much thinking the other way around.

I remember one weekend some years back there was an IN state convention I was attending and Bob had his trapper get-together that same Saturday. I decided to stop by Bob's after the IN day had run its course and trappers wondered if we were gonna get into a brawl of some sort. What?? I pulled up, Bob walked over, grinned a big grin, and handed me an adult beverage. Had fun that late afternoon as a matter of fact. Very nice tree farmer/vet/trapper.

High density or not... They don't jump in the truck and traps don't bed themselves. For those inexperienced trappers just go to Kansas and catch a pile ,for those reading so easy even Dorothy can do it...

Tons of Trappers trap multi states, worth while to compare season end catch #'s. Lets not sugar coat hard work by saying , but but it was Kansas.

When you have a Big Ego its hard to say " That guy is a better trapper then myself." Or " The man out works me every year."

Easier to say "Well.... It was in Kansas anyone can do it!"

Should change your name to "Big E." LMAO.

Guys making these huge catches have to have an unbelievable work ethic. That being said I will never believe those catches were made running 24 hour checks. No matter the numbers they are dealing with. The numbers just don't add up. Not in any way saying this to slight anyone-these guys certainly have my respect!!!

I would expect every student of that trapping academy to catch as many as June cause he takes their money and shows them everything he knows about coyotes,lure,bait,really easy so I can assume when done,you and students are on the same level. No one being better than the next,all equals cause you were honest and told them everything. If I touted a big ego,I certainly wouldn't tell I caught 326 and took 8 months to do it.

Dang, you guys are hard on Mark....

..do I sense a little jealousy?

Bob whose last name can not be spoken did his 600 in 5 weeks on a 24 hour check whether you believe it or not. All the guy in KS doing large catches are doing it on 24 hour, it's the law.

And to add to 49er.........only the winter weather shuts it down at 5 weeks.

That Hey Bob video guy was piling em up, very entertaining.

Time for a contest?

I'm curious about what #s you're using that dont add up.
