As always great video. I thought hunting trapping ended 28 Feb but Daniel stated MDC extended to April for land owners? I will need to research that because tomorrow is coming too soon.
Don't look for a price increase anytime soon. Fur is worth nothing here. I do what I do for the benefit of the small game and game birds and fawns. That's reason enough right there
interesting the new study of coyotes and how you actually invite more juvenile dogs into your area by removing the dominate ones in your area. Mother nature always knows best.
I am a trapper but I could never put a trap in the middle of a road or path because deer always walk these paths, just like predators, and the deer will trip the trap and pull out of it. I have to put my traps off the path and then put branches 180 degrees around the trap so deer don’t go near the traps.
I have a legitimate question boys. We have a red fox problem on our piece. Turkey's have basically disappeared. I had a good buddy come over and try and take some yotes out. He actually called in 7 different red fox from acouple different spots. Could you expand on this situation. I'm located in western New York near the PA border. THANKS
Yes indeed I use leather gloves to make coyote sets and than I use kneeling pads when making a coyote set and when I got the trap completely covered I punch a hole in the ground behind my trap and then I take my gloves off before I bait the set
I don't know where this idea came from or who started it. A FLAT set DOES NOT HAVE A HOLE OR HOLES!! That by default makes it a dirt hole! For the record. I've been a trapper for 50 years. I didn't get into it to manage my deer lease. I got into because I love trapping. Flat sets are just that FLAT! A backing with lure, bait, urine or any combination there of and a trap bed. That's it, no holes!
I know I’m late to the video but I’m just starting trapping and I’m worried about getting scent on my stuff. I’ve bumped my traps a couple times with my arm and people say that they won’t work now with the scent. Is this true?
