Before I ever started trapping I had coyotes coming into the yard (feet from the house) I got a good snow fall and found where they were coming under the bottom wire of the fence, I made a homemade snare and snared a yote that night. I left the snare there and never caught another coyote. Thats when I first began to digest how intelligent coyotes are. I found out a short time later (after I had moved) that snares are illegal. So I never set another snare and I never trapped again until last year.

Last year I ran my first line, first animal caught, a pit bull with no collar and looking malnourished for a family pet. I was trapping a mile and a half from the nearest house and the pit was not happy to be in the MB 650.

Next animal a grinner.

A juvenile coon with aluminum foil on the pan. Yeah it works (sometimes). A hundred yards down the creek, had my first beaver in a 330 set in a slide.
