My only goal is to not get bitten again this year. How about a story to go with the picture...and I want to hear a thousand words worth, lol. Coyotes have never bothered me. Cats have me being more cautious, they just look at you like they want to rip your throat out.

To catch a badger. I have never set for one but we are allowed 1 per season so figure why not. Will be trapping usual predator line also.
Wish I had more time to trap....

Last year was my first year trapping. I do it exclusively for wildlife management. I set goals as follows:
5 coyotes 30 coons/possums 1 beaver 1 bobcat
I caught: 6 coyotes 38 coons/possums 2 beavers 1 bobcat 2 otters 2 grey fox
This year I would love: 10 coyotes 60 coons/possums 5 beavers 2 bobcats
All animals caught were rewarding, but the coyotes really did it for me. I guess second place would be the beavers. Otters and cat were stumbled onto by mistake.
Some days I think I could trap anything anytime. Others I wonder if I’ll ever make another catch...

Im retiring today, so the big goal just got accomplished.
75 coyotes 200 coons put up
Enjoy an entire fall trapping with my best friend, and finally get a chance to stop and smell the roses. Cannot wait to get started.
Life is short, tomorrow is promised to none of us. Make the best of every day you have

200 rats 30 coyotes. I have a market for my rats. I'm going to try and catch a few skunks and put them up. Never did that before. If I could still trap the ROW I'd have 50 skunks In a weeks time. LOL
I don't plan on targeting coon but will skin any ones I do catch.
