167 coyotes is impressive! good job!
I got ten good ones this year hoped for a few more but I do it partime.
Also got 15 squirrels and one weasel so far, will be starting on beaver under the ice in a couple of weeks. Will try for muskrat this spring (never trapped them before)

Flyers aren't worth anything unfortunately. Shame because they have such a nice pelt.

Just put some 330's under the ice. I'm trying a potato and orange peel for an attractant - seen it done on you tube - hope it works because I'm not sure where the runs are.

Well had a wolf in a coyote snare last weekend. He didnt stay there though. Tracked him about a mile. Had rested every couple hundred yards but always kept going. Might try to pick up the trail again on Sat

I got my first beaver ever last week. Used a chainsaw to open a hole and dropped a 330 about 12" under the ice. I used a pealed potatoe for bait on the trigger. Not a huge one. Probably a 2 year old. Curious though as to how many beaver should be in that pond. Also set up a coin on an otter slide heading down a choke point to the dam.

I have a real hate on for ravens they destroy alot of good coyote fur.

The one picture is on the fur table @ the ATA

Final Winter Total
72 coyotes
7 foxes
3 marten
4 lynx
1 fisher
3 Beaver

Nice photos , looks like a ton of work was involved .. It will be interesting to see what your results are . I caught a nice bobcat and chose to get a full mount instead of selling , depending on price I may have wished I sent it with my coyotes . Good luck at auction .

H380,
Hopefully the next sale has prices near that of the last sale. Cleared over $30 more per hide on the last auction, then what the fur buyer was going to pay. The price for bobcat on the last sale was very good.

With all the coyotes it is hard to believe that there is so many foxes in some areas. Never seen a fox on the farm as a kid and now there is quite a few.

Best way is to set up a pole for them to run on and then set snares on top.
