Earlier. Here i start December first and go as long as the weather let's me or to mid january, whichever comes first. Our December 1st coyotes are about as good as the Christmas ones, and after the first of the year it becomes a crapshoot on quality or weather, bother deteriorate quickly around then here. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Dark nights will out produce bright moon nights on land-based predators. Yep, been that way forever. If the law allowed I'd stay home on full moon nights...

December can be a challenge because they just got feed and now there spoiled on deer and elk and things are changing daily so you must change with them.last 2 weeks of nov. To the first 2 in December be my pick fur as good as it's going to get here . There's a good chance for weather to blow in and out moving predator every little front that comes through .
