96 miles, 117 traps.



10 dog day. Pasture, range trapping only. Son had a 9 dog day. He’s 15.

That boy must have had a good teacher. Lol
Great job guys

1 coyote every 10 miles,not too thick down there it seems.

Great picture and lots of work, congrats

This ^^^* is why nobody likes you! LOL! Good job ! Coyote Clayton. My line was similar in West Texas . Ran bout 45000 acres over about 122 miles round trip. Some places where only 1 section. So were 10 or more sections. Lots of stops. Did 18 coyotes on my best run to New Mexico line. I DONT want to do that again ! It’s fun when you’re young. But those double digits days back to back get old !!

I like him. He has a pretty good sense of humor. Seems that a lot of folks don't have much of a sense of humor anymore. Guess I'll be on that famous list now! LOL!

He was despondent the day I went 6 and him 2. I told him it’s just a matter of time.

Appreciate it brother. It’s hard work. Calving season where I’m at. I don’t take the bait so to speak. Only those that know long lining coyotes understand. For those that don’t, there are only so many coyotes in one area or pasture. To get numbers you have to cover a lot of ground. Or trap feedlots or dead piles.

majority of KS is NOT feedlot country. maybe had 20 miles between properties who knows. I'll sure say good job fellas! alot of work an fun. keep them pics coming

All connected ranches. One is ten miles out and back. Ain’t no paved roads.

Boco is nothing but a pot stirrer unless it's his own thread. If u enjoy it, it's a free country but the rest of know better

It was a serious observation,not familiar with fur density there.
I thought everybody liked me.

Everybody would like you to finally agree to admit that
the United States of America won the War of 1812 !!!!

8 dog day

Do you have any not interested in some sets or just nothing passed through? Some folks catch everything that walks by, I’m definitely not one of those guys, lol. I’m guessing you can see tracks pretty good out there.

Thanks for posting, looks like the young man is following in your footsteps, good job guys. I find it interesting to see other parts of the country that are so different than mine.

Good catch .. I would love to have a 10 coyote week..lol.

Awesome job! I keep telling myself I want to run a line like that, then reality sets in for me. If you don’t mind, how much did you spend in gas on a daily basis? Been trying to think about logistics of it here

Yes. Depending on several factors in my experience. Pressure from humans, hunting seasons. Breeding season gets them hyper focused on other things. Lure or bait they scented repeatedly, they lose interest. Switching up baits and lures. Using cat gland, castor, dead rabbit, rabbit fur, feathers, bones etc. I advocate liberal use of good urine. Coyote and cat as a switch up. Curiosity, sex, and food drives their mind. In my experience.

I’ve run Toyota’s and full size trucks. Definitely better with the Toyota’s. Fill up every other day. 40 a day full size truck. Rarely go over 40 mph.

My best wash when =‘Trump was in office. 1.60 gas. My Toyota 4 cy got 15 mph or so on trap line. 50 dollars a coyote bounty. Man could make OK money in West Texas then on bounty 2017. I went 44 days with 227 coyotes. So even at 40 dollar a day gas bill. A man could be OK. But now ???? Can pull it off

Chris you ain't kidding...a fur trapper struggles to just pull off paying for gas at the end of the day. Especially trappers stuck with a 24 hr check law. Now high dollar 'cats or an extensive taxidermy market helps but it is still difficult. Gotta love what you are doing.... that's for sure.

Still cheaper than. An ex or a drug habit!

Agreed 20.

How many you got in that truck?

A couple of nice hauls. I give you props for running a long line in the current market.

15-20 in the truck. Stopped counting. Ranchers really appreciate the predator control when no one is chasing them.

Nice. I need to learn how to catch coyotes. I get 1 or 2 a year. Can't seem to figure it out. I try everything I read here. Something will eventually work, then watch out! LOL!

6 yote day. Cut the line down 25 miles.

better skin that diller too coyotes holding up good around here pelt wise. Feb dogs are usually in awful shape. figures the yrs with down market they last

Yesterday, one out of six was decent. Definitely showing some wear. Diller heads are worth money.

34 pound male

Full moon supposedly means no coyotes.

That looks like more out west than around home for you

It is not Southaest Kansas.

Your getting pretty good at this coyote trapping thing........ boy working, dog standing guard and you playing around.... JK
Good pic

He’s whooping me with the dirt holes. He does dirt holes, I do flat sets. I load his coyotes and bring him the bait. He’s beating me by 10. 24 to 34. Caught that dog by the right front foot yesterday. He’s fine. Learning.

I like it......our trapping heritage in the making......good job

Great pics. Keep them coming

Thank you, Cletis. All my kids can trap coyotes and cats. This last kid appears to have talent. First time on a coyote long line for him. Think he’s doing alright.

That dog sitting there while he makes a set will give him an advantage.

Won’t hurt anything . Remakes are killer on my line.

Lol, that’s what you call home schooling at its best right there .

Same here on remakes. Not ashamed of home schooling.

Finished with 62 coyote and three cats. Stay tuned for fur put up.

That’s putting it on em . And keep up with the home schooling, he won’t learn anything bad and he can learn a trade . All with a teacher he respects, good on ya.

Good trapping. Poor counting. That looks like 9 cats to me

I was just thinking the same thing.

Very good math skills, fellers.

Long as I have enough fingers it's hard to fool this boy

If there was eleven would you pull a boot off? Starting on coyotes tonight hopefully. Gonna show before and after a delicate wash with borax, cuz I’m a compulsive coyote washer. Wink.

No I'd just give up out of frustration at that point

Why is that water so dirty?

Hmmmmm. Seems like a pretty big difference. Wash’em boys, let’em shine.

i might if I wasn't already loosing money skinning one.

Getting tired of looking at pale bellies.

It's Amazing how much dirt comes out of those things

That is mighty fine fur handling C² and great memories with your boy, life can't get much sweeter. Thanks for sharing.

They’re looking good! Maybe a pic of the final finish? I’m a member of the bucket brigade, but like that washing machine!

I washed them in buckets and molasses tubs for to long.

It’s amazing how much difference a bucket wash makes. I’m going to try the washing machine one of these days. When grandma is gone, lol.

Poor looking dogs







Barely prime

Poor looking thing.

very nice put up!

Those look very nice for sure! Thanks for the final results!

Good job on the fur handling , washing does make a big difference on coyotes .

Great job on the fur handling.

Nice job on the put up!
