Default Coyote snares and fleshing knife

I just took my trappers course now I'm looking to hopefully snare some coyotes. I'm looking for suggestions on what kind and size of snares I should buy? And what fleshing knife would be the best to start out with. Thanks in advance

They didn't recommend type of snares at the course.

We use senneker snares (1/16 cable, magnum spring, biggest break away) from Marty for coyotes and ram power snares (wolfmaster size) for wolves on our trapline

Necker 600 fleshing knife and a 4 inch PVC pipe at 45degree angle as a beam is what I use for fleshing, works great for me

If you could find an experienced Trapper who’d spend a few hours with you you’d be way ahead of the game. Where are you located?

I use this system in 5/64 cable and 5’ long. My extensions are 3/32 and 8’ long with a wolf swivel on the end.

I am in love with my Ron Post 2 handed flesher. It is pricey but I am convinced it'd worth it. I have many trapping friends converted. Halford sells them I'm sure any other supply store like Martys Canadian coyote company or trapper gords could get you 1. Also you need a nice beam. Guys use pvc pipe I've seen lots of fence posts smoothed down at colonies. I purchased 1 from trapper gords. I believe when your trying to do the best job on a hide use the right tools. I even got a fellow in a black hat hooked on the Ron post. And get some burr combs brush them yotes before you hit a burr while fleshing you'll be a seamstress pretty quick.

And id take hunter daves advice find someone in your area that would take you under their wing. Thats how i got going.
Have a good season
Bill

Do you guys think that a Post fleshing knife is a good one to learn how to flesh coyotes? I was going to recommend that cheap $20 one from Halford’s because it’s duller and more forgiving. I love my Post for fleshing thick skinned beaver but I won’t use it on coyotes.

i learned on it and found it works well for a newbie. i find the dull side to be plenty dull so one doesn't have to worry about the knife cutting a hole. the sharp side is razor sharp and has kept its edge for a few years now. granted I only use it on a handful of beavers each year.
