Listening to, and watching this guy, makes me feel like a total amateur as a canine trapper. He sure has a pile of knowledge packed between his ears.

Its a very good description of a good and not so good animal. Knowledge that needs to be adhered to.

Thank you.

It's crazy how nice and humble he is when it come to talking to him.
Also gotta say I absolutely love listening to folks like him.

My understanding is Robert makes one set, uses one of 2 baits and urine at every set. Then sets traps were a bunch of coyotes come together. With that in mind what would you learn from a video? I'm curious since Robert has disclosed his strategy for hammering coyotes how many actually follow his strategy? How many are only using one set, no lure, only 2 baits and just urine you positively know is pure coyote pee? I road with a guy that makes huge daily catches on coyotes and he does the same thing. The difference I see with these guys is they dont mess around with different sets and attractants, they find what works the best and roll with it. Then (and I think this is the biggest thing) they go to great lengths and distances to trap the BEST spots. The time and distance they put into getting permission on great spots makes a big difference. I wonder how many trappers if asked why they trap were they do, their answer would be, because that's were we have permission to?

How many of you run 140 + sets each day? How many of you make 4 or 5 sets at each location?

I agree the hours they put in long lining is more than most of could do. As far as the number of sets that should be dependent on the density of the coyotes at that spot. Some spots in some parts of the country it would be foolish to put 5 sets in each location then on the other hand I know of a situation were a trapper put in 15 sets in one location and had 12 or 13 coyotes the first check.

I was surprised to see Robert making sets without gloves. Does anyone else make K9 sets with their bare hands?

I wear gloves only because my hands get dirty, dried, and cracked if I dont wear gloves.

Real good explanation of why dmg on a skin makes it unprofitable to process for the current raw fur coyote market.
More trappers should take the time to educate themselves on how to grade fur both on the carcass and put up skins,so they can make the right decision on if or how to market.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

In at about 9:05, but I like to watch it all ......again and again.
One other vid of his, they caught 68 in 5 days.

The field grading tutorial was very well done. I know what pile most Wisconsin coyotes would end up in, though!

Yes his discussion on looking at the weak points in those coyotes was very educational for me. The one on the right on first observation to me looked like the poor yote. Looking at the hips and then the discussion about the whole length trim piece being that much shorter shows why they are worth little. I will admit I sent a couple up the last 2-3 years that were probably poorer than any of those were.
Robert is a hard driving trapper but he takes the time to teach and share what he learns. He is also a huge in helping raise funds for the FTA and other outdoor ventures.

We often trap for action. Generally action trapping and fur quality are not that closely related. Grading is much more consistent if we understand the fur cycle. Too early or too late. Face it good fur demands a premium simply because there is not that much produced.

Boco I understand where you are coming from by moving the lesser quality stuff to alternative markets that don’t recognize the difference. Most trappers are not that creative.
