When I started I thought the coyote would be my main target, it’s one of the only animals I didn’t get…lol but my throat was pretty sore from yelling when I walked up to my 1st wolf falling asleep in a snare! Reading all kinds of books where guys are crushing huge numbers was unrealistic for me. I learned that the wolves & coyotes General don’t mix in my area. I wanted to get a couple beaver but they wound up my main animal to trap, they’re pretty easy to catch and the the prices I got were a nice surprise when I was guessing I’d get $8-10avg and wound up with $40. And the beaver catch rate got outta hand in spring. Set for how many you want/can put up. I was overwhelmed with beaver for a week or two. Putting up fur is another steep learning curve. When you watch an expert on YouTube fleshing and he makes a nick, a new guy doesn’t feel so bad. My main goal should’ve been to get the line operational, but making sets is more fun…lol. It seems to be never ending connecting lines, making more efficient routes.
