Hope the Trapperman people are happy and healthy! I check in from time to time to keep up. Have been doing the Predator control with thermals the last few years, sneaking back into daytime now. Every once in a while I get the itch to run a line again, but life happens. When my boy gets a little older I think I’ll have to dust off the traps again. For now here’s a bit of the fun. Been a good year, total coyotes at 42. Most have been hammered out around about 20 square miles. One cat so far. Hoping to change that this week. Raccoon haul was a while back, we’ve shot enough we don’t even keep track anymore. Easily 10-20 a night suppressed while waiting for coyotes to show up.

Stackin em up partner… good deal

Sounds like some good times. Hopefully you'll have some cat pictures soon

Keep hammering those coyotes

Nice work, Wade. What are you using for thermal gear...?

Awesome! One of these years I’d like to try that…….supressed AR, thermal, coyotes…..good times

Thanks guys. It definitely allows me to scratch the itch per say without the devotion needed for full trapping. Midlander I have had the same AGM rattler 35-384 for a while now 4-5 years. I've also been shooting an AGM adder 384 for the longer shots. I have the rattler on a .17 and it does the job on close coyotes out to 100 yards and I'm usually in charge of putting the coons down. It really does most anything I need done here. One cat down so far this year. I would definitely like to upgrade at some point I would come in on the 640 at the least unless it's an Iray, their 384 is still pretty sick. I have the AGM Taipan 19-384 for scanning and have again for 4-5 years. Haven't needed to upgrade but I sure wouldn't mind a better one. I will see if I can get a couple videos uploaded to my youtube so I can post them.

I'm most excited for my coyote coat that's supposed to be on it's way. My good friend Matt from Indiana who I used to trap with here in Nebraska from time to time put up eleven coyotes for me and I had them shipped from the tannery to Minnesota for a coat to be made. The coyotes I have been putting down aren't real fur worthy when it's done but he helped me out. I've always wanted one and after he had one made I had to pull the trigger.

Shot another three coyotes New Year's eve, rolled into the new year sitting at 45.
