Yup, why catch early season coyotes that are worth $50 when they'll become $100 coyotes. Late season coyotes will only get worse so you might as well catch them. In this market late season coyotes bring in good money.

Two seasons ago the fur was good and I caught my last coyotes on the last day when I was pulling all my snares. Last season all that I was catching were low grade coyotes at the end of January so I pulled my snares early. This year I'm going to the bitter end. The quality of the fur depends on the type of winter we have I guess.
Lots of variables as to when people decide to pull their snares......calving season, low grade coyotes, expense vs return.....maybe just plain tired after 3 months of snaring? In this market my advice is to keep on trapping as long as the fur is decent even if it's a lower grade than earlier in the season.
