I've trapped those rats several years. I'll wait awhile to do it again. Yes, there are some dandy coyotes there. Not all of them are good but definitely some pretty ones. And there is mange just like everywhere else.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Yes, although I haven't been back to that area in 3 years because of studies. I trapped the Sand Hills for 17 years and I plan to do it again in 2022. North of Thedford. Wonderful country!
Blessings, Mark

I've never have trapped in the sandhills. But I have called coyotes there. Some really nice fine furred very light colored dogs. Usually smaller than my SE Nebr dogs. I have been going thru the sandhills and that area probably since the late 60s. We had relation up there. It's one scenic area for sure. In a wet year everything is green and the cattle are fat as can be standing in belly deep grass. I still try to get thru that area a couple times a year. Up to the Pine Ridge area......... a unique gem of an area too !!!

first thing you see is a good place to start warrior. i would bet 5 bucks after 3-4 days your pelting knife would be getting lots of butcher steel time. coyotes is coyotes

Pretty terrain but I'd be at a loss figuring out where to set. I'd be hauling in rocks and stumps for something of interest.
What do you do try find the dips and hollows that funnel traffic? Coyotes find cows more interesting than rocks and stumps

What do you do try find the dips and hollows that funnel traffic? Im just takin a stab here, but im guessing if you end up on a few large ranches you’d be looking for intersection 2 track roads and i bet the tracks would confirm your suspicion. Thatd be where i would start anyway.

I only spend a few days there a year but I love them. Great memories with the boys and some fine hunting dogs
