Well that's all folks!

I pulled the last few snares I had this evening. It was a good season and I learned a lot and had some fun as well.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help! I fell short of my season goal of 100 coyotes but did manage to get 95. It was a pretty lofty goal for my first full season so I am quite happy with what I caught.

Good luck to all the trappers who will be going after muskrats and beaver this spring! I'm getting pretty busy again so I'm not sure I will be doing much more trapping this spring.

Thats a respectable number for sure.
Congrats on your season TFNG!

good job. Takes a lot of work for 100 dogs

[Tfng]

Thanks guys! Nube you're right, I worked my butt off most of the winter on those coyotes.

I'm already planning next year though.

Well looks like you had a good year. Congrats. Good numbers too. I'm at 48 couple shot and 3 baits. I'll see if I can keep up with you and nube and the other excellent snaremen on here. Good work.

[Tfng]

I'll take the compliment Bill but I'm certainly not in the excellent snareman category. One year maybe, but not yet. I just worked hard.

[bucksnbears]

good job. hell of a first year..

[waterninja]

Congratulations on a very nice first season.

Congrats on a great season TFNG , I thouroghly enjoyed snaring this year as well and tho I only snared about half of my 50 , i plan on upping that total next year . Thanx to all those on this forum who have freely given advice to us newbs thru these thread as well as PM's.

Good haul

[trigger7mm]

Great job and congrats. It takes a lot of work to be that successful, but it's very satisfying when it all comes together. Good job!

Here's how I like to figger some numbers out
5 coyotes will easily take a deer a week. 95 dead coyotes saves 19 deer a week.
That's 988 deer in a year!
Come next fall you'll see a big difference in the amount of fawn survival

[Tfng]

I hope so. They need all the help they can get in my area. It will be years before it gets back to where it used to be though. (If ever)

[HunterDave]

Congrats on a great season, TFNG!

[Talking moose]

Good job on the yotes. Great 1st or 10th year!!

[Tfng]

Thanks guys! Now the debate is where to set the goal next year? I'd like to double it but I'm not sure I could get that done.

[HunterDave]

Go for it! I'D bet on you doing it!

[Hydro1]

Oh yeah, first full season under your belt. I'm sure you can hit 200 yotes.

Good stuff TFNG. Think big, set high goals. A good coyote number, good quality dogs, along with some good fur handling skills (top lot to show for it). I would same that is an excellent season.
