The more traps out the better off you are, they don’t catch anything if not set.

Bed that trap solid is usually the biggest mistake a new trapper makes digging a correct bed gets easier over time making it second nature.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Keep it simple. Sometimes we can make things more complicated than what it really is.

I am an older Trapper and that’s pretty much what I live for.
Develop good habits on the trapline . Bed traps solid .Study the animals habits . Become a student of the coyote. What part of Louisiana are you from.

Good tips. Also make sure you cannot pull trap stake. Nothing worst then a empty catch circle.

Location, location, location and get as much permission as you can on Prime real estate or adjacent to it. Bed trap rock solid as stated. Have fun!
