Let’s see some coyotes!

First stand of the year. Had another come in 5 min before this one but it busted me before I laid eyes on him.

Good trap check the other day. Did pick up a rooster with my 28 ga that happened to run into a tiny slough while I was in between sets. Seems like I need to clear out badgers to get to coyotes. They are hell on my sets. Picked up 4 in the last two checks. Got permission on another 6000 acres to rifle hunt after the neighbors found out I was trapping coyotes. Could trap those acres after deer season if I was so inclined but I'd rather start calling.

This guy was in my backyard yesterday. I'd put in some sets if I wouldn't catch every neighborhood dog.

Are badger pelts worth anything ?
 
Badgers used to be used for parka trim as the fur didn't break with the frost from your breathing when you caught a fur badger, the hair badgers were used in making artist paint brushes. They are hard to skin and need fleshed and flat stretched.
