He started trapping a couple years ago , but like most of us the predators gave him problems. Long story short I took him out on my property , showed him a few different foothold sets and how to set up cable restraints. So far in the last few weeks we've caught 5 coyotes and 4 red fox. He is in seventh heaven and hooked for life. We released all but 1 Red , due to the coyote population in the area. I've been releasing them for years. Member -W.T.A. N.T.A. - N.R. A. A Shotgun.

The population seems to be average, not an over abundance of them.We also have distemper in the area again . I found some dead coon again and no mink sign at all. Member -W.T.A. N.T.A. - N.R. A.

I found some dead coon again and no mink sign at all. That's what I am seeing around here also. Very little sign of anything moving. Good luck.
