I plan on taking our new mountain feist with us this year. A rescue dog but seems to have a great nose and loves to use it. I'd like to see how he does finding coyote markings and sign, mostly. Plus if he marks a spot that should be a good set location too. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

After having a dog on the line I don't believe I would go without one now! They find so many micro locations! If you allow them to they will almost point out travel ways. My dog even though its a gyp will mark scent posts! And clean out any free range grinners. My advise on fur damage is your dog needs to listen well. They need to learn drop or no! My Airedale gyp can almost run down a healthy yote! One dragging a trap wont stand a chance.Downfall she hates cats! But loves to hear them crunch! Think that's just a Airedale trait.So far on yotes shes happy baying im ok with that. Beavers are what she keeps sizing up but I keep her back!Trapline dogs are a lot of enjoyment

This sounds really good for the plan I have

If you are a dog man you will find you cannot get by without one. They will show you a lot if you are observant. A dog that will follow drags is worth its weight in gold. A dog is a great companion. A dog will never complain about how tired it is, how cold it is, how it is hungry. Pretty darn hard to beat a good dog on the trapline. Mac

Okay, well he's pretty obedient , to me anyways. He just recently lost an eye (pure white and "dead"), has a few chipped teeth tips, and has had stitches twice. He is only 4 years old and knows no limits, can run from sun up to sun down. So where they pee is where to make a post set ? That dogs name should be lucky the way you described it. Yes were they mark a spot is were the trap goes pay close attention to there foot placement! That gets me every time my dogs a female so naturally I catch more females at scent posts

Yep probably be a good one. Train her to trail, animals hide drug around the ground then hidden in a bush or up a small tree make it fun,trap her with a trap that is not anchored let her watch you make a set while telling her nooo then let her get caught in it repeat until she just sits and watches but won’t investigate use a small trap like #1ls. Hope this helps, dogs will help you get on location as in exact location and if trained to trail will save you a lot of time when using drags.

Do many of you that have trapline dogs use many body grippers on dry ground? I would think that could be disastrous! The reason I ask, I hope to have a trapline dog by next year and assumed I would need to stop using body grippers.

I'd sure give her a try. She might make a great dog. lol but your pretty bias to blue healers both breeds of dog are pretty gritty id say it would make a trap line dog
