Set my first traps ever!

I have been collecting traps from guys who are retiring from trapping for a while. I got a dozen #2 Bridgers and dukes from a nearby guy. I finally got them dyed and waxed and set out my first coyote sets ever. This is my first trapping season since I was a child with my grandpa. 25 years in the army makes trapping, hunting and fishing pretty hard to do. I’ve been reading a lot about coyotes and coon trapping on this site and I really appreciate the amount of knowledge shared. I’ve had coyote and coon tracks, scat and sign all over my hay fields. Especially the one bordering the state forest. I love see how I did in the next few days. Wish me luck!

Good luck to you... I enjoy making sets almost as much as I enjoy checking them. Every one is different. And thanks for your service. I only did 4 years... but 4 years in the Marines is just about equal to 25 years in the ARMY.

Good Luck John Jr!!! Hope your traps are full!

It’s all been easy up to this point Jr. Now the hard part, being patient.

I do wish you luck and thank you for your service.

I didn't know people retired from trapping? Best of luck to you on your trapline.

Well... quit typing and go get 'em... Now drop and give me 20!
Don't get discouraged - it's a learning process so ask lots of questions.
(Don't pay any attention to Wild_Idaho - he's a leg...) LOL!

Bring your camera and share some pics
Good luck


And thank you for your service to our nation
