Just call your game warden and let him know what the issue is. They can write you one for the property you trap and you can necktie some dogs Matthew 7:6 KJV Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine.... -OFBA, NTA, FTA, TTFHA-

MattLA trapper M Joined: Dec 2021 Louisiana	You guys kill me sometimes, whats so excellent about killing animals at night with thermals? I understand the hogs, but coyotes just aren't the same no matter what why you wanna try to put it. You can't be pro trapping and think that thermal hunting at night is good, because ask anybody who used to trap for coyotes, they have been pushed out by people who already setup far better for night hunting than you are. This is where we should say "hey the land owner wants coyotes dead, I like trapping and/or I like that I get paid to trap coyotes. I won't keep getting paid if I kill all the coyotes and/or somebody else kills them before me for less than I was getting paid."

Even my landowners have thermals and hunt them at night. They even run coons with dogs on one property I trap and I go with them. You can learn a lot and find some good den trees to set later on. I enjoy the money, but I enjoy seeing the turkeys, quail, and fawns as well.

Not under a regular annual or lifetime license, but if you're licensed as a nuisance wildlife control operator you can use snares on a nuisance complaint. “I don't know, Chief, if he's very smart or very dumb.” Capt.

I haven't decided what I will do with what I catch yet doesn't sound like I will make much money if I do sell any. As of this morning which is check day 14 I have 10 dogs. Ditched 3 skins and ripped the tail off of one with that new Stalker low ceiling skinner machine I have released 4 cats already and have 4 skunks in the freezer. I'm starting kinda slow for my 100 dogs number but I'm gonna hit it one way or the other. Once deer season is over I'll start nuisance work on the ranch and snare the fences and bait piles Matthew 7:6 KJV Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine.... -OFBA, NTA, FTA, TTFHA-

I can't afford thermal either but I sure can't wait till I can. Lots of attractiveness to slaying night yotes with a thermal and 6.5cm. I guess if you're not into it it is what it is but night hunting is a heck of a good time And I'd love to take a stab at killing all the dogs in the area to see how fast the population reproduces Last edited by Ken Smith; 12/01/22 02:12 PM.
