I have recently moved to a new area and i think the properties i have lined up should lead me to a very good season as they have fields with a river or a creek running through them dense treelines next to the rivers, this is really the only place for animals to hide and congregate as we have primarily corn and bean fields so once harvested help pinpoint locations. Do not have a specific amount in mind but hope to get coyotes, some beavers, small amount of muskrats, and i feel a large amount of raccoons are available but will have to determine how many we will go for when we contact our local buyers to determine how much demand they have and the quantity they are looking to get.

My goal this year is 20 coyotes. I have gotten permission on some awesome ground and my MB550s are dyed, waxed and ready to snap! I have added to my MB550 collection and now have 7 dozen. The way work is going I don't think I will have enough time to set them all but I will try and get 4 dozen out for sure. Good Luck to you all!


That's impressive for your first year. Congrats on that, and good luck this year!

To simply trap, a little reminiscing and make a few new memories...

Setting goals pretty high this year. Not gonna target coons ( 158 ) last year. Should leave me more time for coyotes,beaver,otter,rats,and cats. Want to try and double from what I did last year,but will depend on weather.
70 coyotes,16 cats,38 rats,92 beaver,22 otter.
If I get close to them numbers I will be busy.

I haven't been able to trap like i used to in 7 years due to my career, i recently stepped away from that and became self employed.

My goal is to catch rats in numbers i did before having to hang it up for a bit

if i can put up 350 muskrats, i will be very pleased!

Fill my freezers with coyotes, take out the coon on farms that have crop damage. Think out of the box on sets and attractors and learn more about coyotes. Hoping for some snow , just not too much. Have a bit of fun with mink and beaver. Might even trap some muskrats, got my colony traps all tuned up.


Common sense catches alot of fur..
Pay homage to all you harvest..
