Anyone thought about Nevada mostly public ground ???

I’m thinking harsher actions Danny like any trapper trying to CHEAT has a #48 NH clamped to his anatomy...lol

With teeth lol

It wouldn't matter LMBO..

so how many would be interested?

I'm in !

I would be in if the dates match up to when I can get the time off. Not huge on camping but I would sleep in the truck for the first night if that's what it took to satisfy the regs.

Well cold rolling is a big part of coyote trapping maurob. I am not questioning your integrity but if you can come up with a way to make sure no one sets a trap or ten or starts looking for location I am all ears.

Not a big deal for me to sleep in the truck for a night. Just don't want to spend a week at a campground. Tacoma can only haul so much. I would be willing to follow whatever rules there are for a chance to compete.

I’m in if schedules line up.

I can't say I'd be "in" necessarily, because I'm stretched thin as it is, but if the schedule would line up (even just a little) I would definitely consider being the "brawn" for an experienced trapper! I would entertain the opportunity for the experience, and be more than willing to share the cost...I'm just not NEAR a good enough trapper to do this on my own! Not to mention, it would be WAY out of my comfort zone to do such a thing!

I would be willing to give it a go with a partner. Depending on ground conditions one old man may not get a hundred traps set in a day. Lol , heck if it’s real bad ground two old men may not get 50 in the ground .

Need the cost of the entry fee and location of the event and official rules and the payout before I would commit.

I'm not in favor of hauling around live coyotes. Freeze thaw conditions would fit tho..

I’m in

I dont think = Teams OR a trap limits are a good idea. No one wants to drive half way across the country to set a few traps. I will be out West any way so i am in regardless. Only problem = I carry 120 MJ 600 Sterlings in my tool box at ALL times. IF anyone thinks I am going to get their and = unload 70 Sterlings just so I will only have 50 traps in the Toyota = You must have a screw loose!!!! LOL!!!

The Trapperman coyote trapping competition MIGHT happen. I am working on landowner permission in the TX panhandle. Will be rough prairie to crop circles. Maybe some feedlots. Dont ask about rules cause we aint that far in yet. Any suggestions are welcome

I’m not saying we need to have the same rules as the last coyote contest but we need to start somewhere. The last one was 12 two man teams and a hundred traps per team . If Chris wants a 120 traps I can do that too , but I don’t want anyone feeling that they can’t enter because they don’t have a hundred or more traps. As far as sleeping in the truck or camping , maybe there is a fairgrounds or camp site that can be incorporated so a guy could take a shower and have running water, maybe even electric. Big numbers of dead coyotes are going to be a distinct possibility, so we would need a big pit dug ( hopefully downwind) of the campsite, fairgrounds, check in point........ , hopefully the rancher or ranchers involved would take care of this free of charge. We would need to be sure of this before hand, otherwise we are talking about paying someone to do this.
I’m sure there are many more little details that will need to be covered.

pit is in the works

one for sure rule is no pictures of the pit. it will be on private property and anybody taking a picture will be trespassed

I would say if you have a number of traps, that number is how many are allowed to be set. If it is say 100 traps, Chris can have 120 or however many in his truck at a time, but only 100 set. That way traps can be exchanged and/or replaced. If one gets ran over, or you want to pull some sets and make some new ones you can replace any contaminated traps with clean ones rather than having to go back and clean them and be the next day before you can reset them.

I am thinking in order to have a catch confirmed, it will need a cell phone picture with date time and gps, along with a carcass
