Still hunting whitetails is about the only thing I've done so I will give you a few things I've learned over the years.
First I would set trail cams on trails or over salt/feed to get an inventory of what deer are in the area...whitetails don't travel very far (especially in the summer and...
This catch was pretty much two separate traplines put together at the end between my brother and I. My line in total was probably about 30-35 miles round trip. I only trapped 4 different properties and really 2 of them made up 90% of my catch. My brother had to travel further to check his but...
15 years ago mange pretty much wiped coyotes out of our area too. It took a long time but the population started rebuilding a couple years ago and most have been mange free since. This year out of the 92 I think we only had about 6 or 7 with mange...We are very fortunate for that as there is...
Yes this bill needs to be shutdown for sure! This bill outlaws all trapping on public land in New Mexico. A large percentage of New Mexico is public land so this would pretty much outlaw trapping in half the state. And I guarantee if passed they won't stop there...just ask Colorado and California.
I run with snares for the coyotes and footholds for the bobcats. Footholds work great but I prefer snares primarily because they are such a maintenance free trap. They stay functional through just about any weather type and are definitely much easier to set when the ground is a giant frozen...
