I've only been trapping a couple of years and not in a big way. I'm interested in tips on coyotes/cats. My trapping is in the midwest (Missouri) so western trapping probably won't be of much help. If you were only going to buy a couple of books/videos which ones would you recommend? Thanks for any feedback.

Mark June has a coyote trapping book, I believe he has a dvd also. I’ve heard they are good.

X2 Mark June's coyote book will get you catching yotes

JC Conners dvds are excellent! Also Slim Pedersens stuff is top notch!

MChewk, when you gonna make one? I'd watch it

Ain't that good longbow...lol
Too much work and technology involved for this igit.

I'm a workin on a possum video as we speak lol.

Has anyone ever watched Randy Smith's video "Combines and Coyotes"? I like watching all of the dvd's, but the western ones just don't do much for me. The terrain and soil is just so different.

I have the Combines and Coyotes video and I think it is excellent. I have watched it several times and have employed some of Randy's info with very good results. I don't think you would be disappointed. I also have and like JC Conner's video on flat sets.

Hoosier trapping supply has a good one. You might also check them out on YouTube

Any of Matt Jones or J Lord. They trap in similar terrain as missouri i think(Tennessee/kentucky)

1st DVD I ever bout was Junes coyote trapping Volume #1, and as a result it caught me my 1st coyote and many more to follow. I have watched several DVDS since, and for my personality, I enjoyed Junes teaching method the best and therefore got the most out of it. Best $40 I ever spent on trapping.

LB, I have heard great things about Randy Smith's video "Combines and Coyotes", it has been in my fnt wish list for a while, I will own it one day, too many great trappers on here have reccomended it.

Ed Schneider has a good one from Kansas also

I've read June's book and have the DVD. Enjoyed both and plenty of knowledge. I bought "Animalistic: Rattlin Chains" by Darin Freeborough and it was really good too. Ed Schneider's book "One Square Mile" is really good. A book I bought recently as a recommendation was Dobbins "Land Sets and Trapping Techniques" and it's been a good one too. Fact is, you can learn a little something from all of them. Good luck in your search.

Hi Mike, igit and legit are pretty close! ...I tend to think your the latter, put me down for anything you might someday produce, if you ever do feel so inclined.

Just want to see a video that has freeze proofing, wet clay, mud, and all the stuff that comes with eastern trapping. Not just catches.
