Funny story. Those sets were made last Sunday afternoon. Had one Tuesday morning. While removing the coyote Tuesday in a snow storm he mentioned Daisy was going to step in the other set if she didn’t watch out. I reached down and grabbed her collar. I moved my right foot 2” south and it went off. Daisy was 9-10 inches from it. He re-set it and put some peat on it. Got this text Wednesday morning.

I have no doubt if he hadn't run into the problems up north he would have broken 1000 by now. Iron man!

Robert definitely is the man. How much longer before the quest ends?

I don't think he got much longer. Prior commitments. And their deteriorating daily. I'm sure Bea will have a current update.

Buying fur in that area this weekend, starting to bunch up and the weathers going to cooperate, he could get to 1000 if he wanted but quality is going down hill and will probably deteriorate fast now.

Robert has caught staggering numbers with a method few use. Amazing what simplicity and an incredible work ethic can accomplish. I salute you.

Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.

So how many does he catch on a normal year?
Sorta makes reading about those that pull traps to “leave seed” seem like they’re just tired of trapping, lol.

Not to take anything from Robert. But you need coyotes to put up those numbers. 10 Roberts couldn't put up those numbers around here.

If you don't have coyotes you can't catch them.

Ditto to that Beav same in this area. But his work ethic that I have seen is second to none

Yes it's all about work ethics. Up at 3:30 each morning work till dark then skin the catch.

But It's the pre season work that gets you a head start. A lot of this ground he was cold rolling on and that will set you back a few days.

Don’t think he’s giving up. He’s just not going to take coyotes that he can’t skin. He’d probably surpass 1K if he kept on.
