15th I am going to so some limited set for coyotes, we fall calve also so I have some nuisance dogs that are going to run the gauntlet. I keep telling myself this is a test line, but inside I really know its just the start of my season lol. We have already had snow ( actually accumulated and stayed for a couple days) and few nights below freezing so that is hard on a guy thats ready to lay steel.
Failure leads to learning, learning leads to improvement.

Put out a dozen Coyote sets with my 5 and 2 year old on Saturday. I was going to wait till mid October but my nephew was coming down from Utah and has always wanted to check traps with me. We are doing the first check tomorrow. If we catch anything it will most likely be a kit fox or badger. Still will be fun for him to see something. Our Vegas coyotes worth the same anytime in the fall and winter. I think I had a $5 dollar difference between an October shot coyote and a December trapped coyote. They don’t get to pretty haha.
If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

I have traps operating from July to May of the next year. It varies from beaver to coons to coyotes to meadow voles to squirrels etc. You have to be an all around trapper here to satisfy folks and I get paid for some,,, others pro-bono for trespass rights. I use every tip I have acquired in 55 years of fur chasing to keep a trap working in all types of weather, soil type, society restrictions, landowner requests etc.,,,,,,,,,,, BUT ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I still start to hyperventilate (like you guys-- at a slower pace now) when I get within 2 weeks of setting a fall trapline. Think it may be a genetic flaw ! ! ! LOL

I have an early coyote line out that is in an area where I need to get in before Pheasant season starts nov 1. I may not get in there after bird season due to weather. I also have a small rat line out to get some bait to work with. Also have some nuisance sets out for a few folks. Bunch of little things turns into a decent line.

I will be setting predator traps on the 15th for a week or so then off for a week to work out of town and back and forth all season. Sure is nice that nobody wants to work this year, I have been so busy I can't believe it. I will trap in January. Have the woods to myself then for the most part cuz the softies quit playing out there by then. Little snow and cold don't scare me.

In about 2 weeks I will be starting to lay out my line for the season(coyotes), and I can hardly wait. They won't be the $120+ coyotes of last season, but I am gonna go for it anyway.
