Awesome thread! Lets do this next season.

I have a collection of well know trappers traps. Would love to add one of his to my collection. Great job and great post

Robert has done trapping for fur a great boost for sure. His work ethic along with knowledge shows what can be accomplished when committed. The other thing I learned reading this thread is the high percentage of coyotes that are harvested that are in very poor condition fur wise.

The photo shows my setup. When I was with Robert in Kansas he did not drill or need pilot holes.

eb.....from here the bit looks like a 3/4" carbide tipped masonary bit....am i close..?

Yep, that is what I use/need for the shale roads I trap in Northern Maine. Got it at Lowes.

Thanks.....Easy to understand, plenty of shale roads in the mines around me....

Congrats on an amazing accomplishment!

great job , thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing all of this Beav. What a run!

Congrats Robert and many thanks to Beav and EB for taking us with on the journey. Will miss this for sure.

Robert will be heading home then on to MS to do some beaver work and some hog work then It's off to NM to do some ADC coyote work. In between that time he has to put up all those coyotes to get them ready for sale. I just don't know how that man can accomplish all that.

But maybe I can keep this going as he moves on from the coyote Quest to other things.

He told me he could flesh and board 25 coyotes a day. Out of the 927 he caught I'm not sure how many are going home.

Would be interesting to know how many are going to sale vs caught. Luckily my area doesn't have much mange at all, interesting to see different areas and their percentages. We also don't have a very dense coyote population.

Great job and hats off to Robert for an incredible quest. He hammered them. I hope he has the personal satisfaction that there are a lot of folks new and old that have great respect for what he has accomplished. Not to mention taking us all along.

I will tip my hat to Robert also,great trapping and thanks you guys for taking us along.

I really enjoyed following this thread. Great job and looking forward to seeing more of this as he continues on to beaver .

I had not met Robert before last year at Lee’s FTA booth, won’t get into it here but I would say the man has a sense of humor off the line.

Robert may not have got 1000 he was shooting for. But deep down everyone knew 1000 would be hard to do, but we all still hoped he would get them. Next year we will be watching for the quest to begin. I was like a kid in the candy store wondering how many he got that day.

Way to go Robert.

Plus only 20 more post and it 1000 post.
