Looks like I'll be getting a used 4x4 and outfitting it for coyote control

So we can use lights and thermals on person or vehicle mounted. This is is excellent

I use them for nuisance work. You could get a depredation permit for them anytime you want. 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

X2 for regular fur season. I too use them for nuisance work and really like them. I've heard a rumor that cable restraints may be allowed next year.

How many you caught so far Ken? You selling any? 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.

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."

We have year round trapping and day/night hunting of coyotes, beaver, coons, and possums. No shortage here, lol. 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.

We hear that evvvveeeerrrryyyy year... "Rumor has it that next year we'll get to use snares."

You'll get bodygrips before you get snares.

Sounds fun, but I’m guessing the average hunter doesn’t have the cash for a decent thermal. Well, maybe a single hunter or a “dink” (double income no kids) hunter with a good wife…lol

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.

You would be surprised how many people have thermals. Kinda like owning a boat; may be on food stamps, have a free cell phone, and government assisted housing but got a nice bass boat.

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

Lol. I get it, I mean I understand where you're coming from. 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

Mike I believe they won't ever allow snares and body grips without a permit, but the wardens are willing to issue a permit. Never had anyone turn me down

I get paid whether they’re caught in a trap or shot at night. As long as it’s on the property it counts. My landowners don’t care as long as it’s dead.
