Quick question about the initial blog posted, is it updated daily? Last blog I see is Dec 15.
He has been updating it most days. But when. Your running 16-20 hours a day, the trapping, skinning, hot meals and sleep sometime are more important than the post!

Myself and Robert dont always agree on things. But you cant knock a man with goals like that. I wish him well, he has the work ethic for it no doubt. Most probably couldnt carry his bucket for a day.

As impressive as Robert is, and he’s darn impressive, I know 5 guys doing daily totals as good as his, and one other guy who if I had to bet is going to get Robert in the total in the end. I’m darn proud to know these guys and blessed to have a front row seat to the race. Glad im not closed minded to these guys accomplishments and can enjoy their ambition So are these 5 guys skinning every night or just selling on the carcass. Phil Brown Is out west at a undisclosed location. 3 are skinning and 2 are selling on the carcass, IMO skinning the daily catch is the easiest part of catching big numbers

What is staggering to me is the coyote population of Kansas must be for multiple guys more than are mentioned on this thread that have killed hundreds in a short time frame in that state. Population is impressive indeed.

Talking to Robert this morning and he's saying while the population Is super high It's actually down from other years. When that many guys kill that many coyotes It has to have some effect.

It's because the area of the state they are in is cattle feedlot after cattle feedlot. Those areas congregate large numbers of opportunity predators. If you can get permissions on the feedlots and the surrounding areas its money in the bank. Not all of Kansas is that way.
I just need to figure out how to convince my Kansas wheat farmers to switch their ground to feedlots. Then I too could be sitting on some honey holes. Hahaha

its not just feedlots but big dairies too. they all have dead piles. so if any 2000 head plus 24 hour milking dairies near you their dead pile will be just as good as any here in ks

Ks isn't the only state with feed yards so you guys are welcome to go else where. Lol I concur, not only that but coyotes follow live cattle also very closely. Ive always been a ranch kid/rancher and catch rates are always higher for me closer to cattle. Yotes follow them from pasture to pasture much like wolves follow migrations. Cattle are a constant chance of food for them, deads, aborts, they eat cow crap when times are tough. They also take advantage of me chopping ice to open water, lots caught around windmills for me. Just dont set traps with a cow watching, it becomes a issue like a kid in jr high that found a pack of smokes, everyone is there but nobody really knows what to do with one.
Failure leads to learning, learning leads to improvement.

Lots of states this could be accomplished at, got a customer in Iowa that’s that’s about 50 behind Robert with about a 1 percent pitch rate, I know Roberts isn’t that good. More about the guy then the state
