The only two books you need to become a competent coyote trapper are "Master Wolfer" and "Snare Lines Across The West" by James Lucero.


The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

I have several i read and re-read before each season.

Dobbins land sets and trapping techniques is my land trapping Bible. My copy is signed got it from national convention way back early 80s following him around at demos. I couldn't hardly keep up with him walking across the field to demos. He wrote a couple times back when I asked him for tips. No nonsense guy who learned a lot on his own doing govt fox depression and bounty work, and in more competitive times fur market. Its a great read lots of tips in there I still do today. Carry all of my waxed dirt in clean gallon milk jugs, stash them at set locations ahead of time, that good stuff.

Others I read each year are also mentioned above. Miranda's competition line coyote book, Lucero book, Milligans book, and a few others. I learned something from all of them. Bodas book is OK too. I haven't tried many of the more recent times trapper books, maybe I should to see if I can pick up something new.

Carol Black was more of a waterline and mixed bag trapper guy but he taught me a few things in his coyote and fox book too. One I still use today and it works awesome is when a baited dirthole gets no response after a few weeks but tracks show they are going by...jam a stick into the hole and add pee, without touching the trap. From bait set to post set, and that put a lot of coyotes on boards for me over the years. So simple but would have never tried it unless I read it in his book first.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

OG's Hoof beats and Charlies land trapping techniques , read both till the pages fell out. Money well spent! Lecero's books also.

Eastern Wolfer by Clint Locklear, Slim Pedersen’s Predator Trapping Problems and Solutions, and O’Gorman’s Hoofbeats of a Wolfer are all top shelf. A lot more information in these books than many others.

Does Master Wolfer have pictures or drawings? Some older books with B/W pics are about impossible to comprehend. Almost rather have drawings.

All it matters you got something out of any book


Imo OG writes over a lot folks head
It would be a better book for a lot folks if they would read it after about 10 years chasing coyotes first.
