One Season Under My Belt - 06/16/22 08:19 PM
I learned a ton last year. Didn’t have any success with coyote but got some fox and raccoons.
Have another dozen traps on the way and this weekend I’ll dye and wax them and store them away in a container. I gathered a bunch of stuff here and there, and I can’t wait until the fall.
Couple questions is how could I set traps in very rocky ground? I found a lot of tracks last winter in the snow after the season along an old railroad bed that runs through my property, the problem is that it’s an inch of dirt over railroad ballast. But it’s a high traffic area. I could make sets off to the side but I don’t know how well it would work out.
Also, does anyone have any luck along creeks and streams for coyote? My property has a smaller creek that runs about quarter mile and the other side has half mile of a decent sized fast running freestone creek that’s about 60 yards wide.
Lastly, I give the animals I catch to a local fella that sells firs and traps himself. I want to learn to harvest the pelts myself. Any advice? I watch a lot of videos online but the only thing I ever skin are deer I kill.
