I have visited this man while running into him out on the line and at conventions. The basic coon set he uses is like an assembly line in a factory. Same over and over all day long. Had over 800 incidental mink catches one year using this set. He is around 60 years of age now. He got 1000 beaver last year. His knees are starting to bother a little now. He is definitely a stud getting up and down ditches that much at 60. Im not in that good odf shape at 45.

I know who this person is, I know his system-pretty common sets nothing special, but it’s the drive and work ethic that gets these results. KISS to the extreme.

I don't really care either way.... but why is his identity being hidden on this thread?

Fun to see how people think how not to do it, instead of thinking how it could be done.
Lots of guys in Iowa have done 1,000+ a year and quite a few have done 2,000+. I think one of the guys on YouTube is over 1,200 this season and he’s done all his own skinning, and is on college to boot.
The stars have to align to make a catch like this - the weather, Coon population, your health, the market or drive to do it, and the equipment and Trapline to make it possible. But trapping all day ever day, with no fur handling makes it possible. Spot on Mike. Don't tell what you catch, you'll be called a liar here too. Far better off not to disclose your catch numbers to anyone. Just get a bunch of backstabbing. Even from, and maybe even especially from, your "friends".

Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Or the hours your working, talk about investing or anything else going on in your life others will be jealous of.
