It's only 14.2857143 a day for 35 day's or .5952381 an hour for 840 hours for 500 in 5 weeks, in the right conditions, a pretty good trapper could do any of the large numbers mentioned here, one would not have to be any recognized "superior" trapper, and there are a lot of them out there who choose to not be recognized for a slap fest about who can do it or not. Doing it on a consistent level year after year would be more of a story than just one season !! Any ones records could prove it if they chose to really prove it besides a jabbering contest ! Without that it's just a he/said , she/said thing.
Location of the targets with a great population is the main ingredient to success. Discipline in your efforts would make a major
point to success as well. Not every state can provide this on a continuing season, not every person is as dedicated as are others either, seasons are different as well. Just to be fair to an older feller who can't stand to not beat his own chest !

....And you have to have a bit of humor to read my posts as I would NEVER slight another trapper. I never have and never will. Period. Paragraph. A trapper with 100 coyotes that catches 90% is as effective as a trapper that catches 900 outta 1000. Numbers baby numbers as much as location son location. Didn't say it's easy in the areas of high density, just makes it more do-able. Nothing easy in trapping when it comes to running and gunning.

Just the thought of trapping a thousand coyotes in a single season makes me tired. As stated with a daily checks it would be real hard, with more lenient laws it would be more doable. If a trapper could set for 3 days before he checked with a large population with access to the right locations and do the commercial rotation and stay at for 3 months, If the weather didn't shut him down . Guess I just talked myself out of that one LOL.. If ever there was a time to hit that goal, it would be now.. Good Luck

He didn't take our money, we PAID it to him for trapping instructions, just like hundreds of other trappers around the country pay for private instruction every year. It was worth every penny. Mark is right around 60 years old, so there is no possible way he could share all of his years worth of gathered knowledge with us in four days, but he sure tried, and he answered every question every one of us had. They preached location, organization, efficiency, and hard work. The coyotes caught in my group were all caught with Fur Country Lures products. There was no ego when those coyotes were caught with those baits and lures, only ENTHUSIASM. Even after some ribbing by us, just plain 100% enthusiasm for what we were doing. As far as your expectation of every student coming out of the academy at the same level as the instructors, everyone who read that statement sees it for what it is, disingenuous and cynical.
Back to the original post. A thousand coyotes in a season...?? Wouldn't that be something? Good for anyone who does it, or tries to do it. Jerry
Good grief, ND, why would you want to put such a well reasoned and polite post on a thread like this! And then of all things, you want to get back to the original post! Man talk about a buzz killer!  Thank you!

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.
Sorry---you will never convince of that!!!
Well you are wrong, lots of guys make big catches on 24 hour checks. I have one customer that Caught 450 in 22 days on 24 hour check, another 650 in 75 days 24 hour check, another 700 in 90 days 24 hour check. That’s why very few guys can do because very few guys can wrap their head around it.

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. He didn’t take anybody’s money. We paid him and it was worth every last penny. Mark, Donna, and Rusty worked their butts off every second we were there. 10-12 hours of instruction a day. Ive been trapping 30 years, and learned a lot. I’m grateful for the opportunity, and will check his and Rusty’s names off my list of great trappers and gentlemen that I’ve learned from and had the pleasure of meeting. ND FTA well said!! I think it’s hard for people to wrap there minds around because most people don’t have the time, willpower, and coyote density to get it done
Everything the left touches it destroys

English runner Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile in 1954. At that time, it was generally thought that it was not possible for a human to run a mile in under 4 minutes.
Following is a quote from Roger Bannister:
“It became a symbol of attempting a challenge in the physical world of something hitherto thought impossible,” Bannister said as the 50th anniversary of the run approached, according to the AP. “I'd like to see it as a metaphor not only for sport, but for life and seeking challenges.”
By the way the current world record is 3:43.13
Most Americans dont think that way anymore.

First thing I would need is an area with 1000 coyote. Stickler for details!
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
