Male. Flat Set NightTrain SMC urine. Nice Pretty West Texas Coyote caught in MJ 600 Sterling Do you reset the traps where you catch a mangy one? I do. Used to hear some of the big name trappers say they don't because they never caught another coyote in a mangy remake. I'm sure some may refuse but for the most part I don't have a problem connecting again.

Steeltraps, how many traps do you have out now. How many is a “normal” amount? My guess is about 95 traps now ~~~~Kind of like asking me = How many coyotes will you catch on 1000 acres in Alabama ? Well 1000 acres of hardwood in Alabama may only catch 6 or 7. BUT 1000 acres in South Alabama around catfish ponds? I have caught 17 in 7 days. I work everything from = 1200 acre Alabama High Fence to = 107000 acres in Central /West Texas Sheep. On 40000 acres or so here. Plus a few more sections scattered in between. Have ran = 36 traps in 1200 acre High Fence = and 140 traps in 35000 acres in Alabama. South Texas in 2020 I ran 110 traps on 3500 acres of high fence. Place had roads like spaghetti!! SO Im going to say = 80 is my average. So 80 is about average cause I mainly run 7000 acre or larger jobs

Do you ever run snares on any jobs? So places they may not work, but many places you could punch in 4 to 6 snares in the time it takes to put in 2 traps. Is a big no no or just the wrong kind of area to make it work. I am sure in doing your job you have run cable and know how to use it. I have done ALOT of snaring in sheep country. Have probably had out 300 or more snares at once. Have also snared in South Texas high fence deer ranches. It would be VERY hard to snare where I am now. Im a few miles from New Mexico line. But country looks the same as New Mexico. Just really open. And lots of cows. On the few trails. That could be snared. Maybe I think you could snare some. But it wouldn’t be productive here. Just way to open And way to many cows
