Nice catches, especially that one second from right..let me guess..youre hooked on snaring right?

Yes, I love it. Foot holds will be something I get into in the future. I've already invested over $1000 into trapping this year. With the course and all the equipment. I'm hoping to make that back plus a little extra.

Mange is the worst though, I've had to burn 8 coyotes this year already because of bad mange..

Although I'm trying something different. I had a coyote with mange instead of burning it I cut the mange out. It wasn't bad mange, the spot was about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide. Anyways I cut that out and sewed it together.. I'm turning my coyote tomorrow. I'll post a picture of how it looks after I did that.

Excellent effort for your first season. Nice looking coyotes. Not too tawny and not scruffy looking. Trapping will become even more interesting and rewarding as you learn the ways of the different fur bearers and catch them.
