Want to start trapping yotes

[welsh0311]

What equipment do I need to start trapping yotes? I need specifics. Like specific kind of trap and lures. Any website links would be helpful. And what is this waxing of the traps? What does that mean? PM if you can help. Just wanted to try trapping some yotes. Thanks in advance!

Trapperman.com will help u with the basic sets and as far as equipment, any 1.75 size trap will catch n hold coyotes. I prefer mb 550's from the minnesota trap co., they are a little more expensive than ur foreign made traps but they r far better. As far as catchin yotes, good luck, coyotes r very difficult 2 catch. U might want 2 find an experienced trapper and see if they will help u, it will save u years of frustration.

Coyotes are really no more difficult to catch than any other fur bearer. You just need to know how. There are several good videos and books available on the subject. Fur-Fish-Game magazine has several to choose from. The thing to know about coyotes is the territory they cover is vast and usually takes about seven days to make a circle so don't give up if you haven't caught anything in the first few days. When placing a trap for the coyote, place the pan 9 inches from the dirt hole, scent stick, post, or trail set step item. Waxing helps the trap fire faster and lessens rusting during ground placement. Go to the upcoming Buck-arama in Atlanta or Perry and speak with the people their representing the Georgia Trappers Association or contact them directly on the web. They are helpful people willing to give advice and may know of an experienced trapper in your area that can mentor you.

Hands on experience under the watchful eye and instruction from an expert has always been the best teacher regardless of what you were trying to learn.

Find an experienced expert coyote trapper that is willing to help you, buy him dinner(s) or whatever, and let him teach the art. You will learn better and quicker with help.

Good luck.

Yea by all means find a experienced trapper who has trapped them before. i have trapped them in iowa for 15 years and when i moved down here it was a different experience. if you dont want to ask for the help, there are alot of videos that will help you. Minnesota trap line, funkes trap supply and more are all good trapp suppliers to find video and books if you go it on your own. good luck.
