      Ya, the Coyotes have slowed down a bit but I'll catch a few more yet I'm sure. Next year I have to open up more line in the north. I could catch a lot more Fisher. Thank you so much Brother! Sure appreciate you taking the time to watch.

      Ya, the ranch is quite big. Not as big as some but bigger then a lot. So much area that I can't even access. The cattle ramble through it grazing.
      Thanks for watching Brother! Have a good day.

      It was a good Buck Mink. It measured 24 inches from nose to base of tail. Yes I remember those days. I remember my neighbor getting over $90 for one. Those were the days. To many Mink Ranches flooding the market.

    I have a spot like you describe for fisher, thousands of acres bordering what they called "queens land" where I trap for wolves. No other trappers are allowed in there, only me and only for wolves. The place is crawling with fisher and they always slip outside the borders of that area to where my traps are waiting.
    You have a few days left now, they are still running looking for girlfriends.
    Good luck.

      Sounds like you got some good area for them to raise and keep feeding your sets. I have to get some of the trails cleared because I would like to make a bigger loop on the north line. Could catch a lot more Critters! Going to start warming up on Saturday so they should start moving a little more.

      Last year I caught 12 Mink and this season only one. Just not around but I don't have much for Muskrats this year either. I hope to catch a few more dawgs yet. My catches on them have slowed down a little. I don't have the population of them like they do farther south in fact my north line I don't even set for them. Just not enough up there to bother with. Thanks for watching Brother. I'll look forward to your next show!

    Not being rude or sarcastic, genuinely curious guy tuning in.
    Other than population control, what’s the appeal to trapping and shooting coyotes, and wolves?
    Is there money in the coats and meat, or am I missing something?

    • @thecamocowboyoutdoors5693
      @thecamocowboyoutdoors5693  Рік тому +1

      It is about population control but it's more then just that. Its about helping the populations of many of the species they prey on. Its about protecting my livestock and livestock of my neighbors as we loose calves to these predators. It's also about ensuring the health of the remaining population of Coyotes and Wolves. In the last 10 years 40% of the Wolves I have harvested have been diseased with mange and shoulder mites. These are diseases that they keep spreading to more and more Wolves. Many times infecting the whole pack. It is also a source of income for me by selling the fur on the world market. It is bought by countries all around the world. Prices go up and down but until last year I was averaging $140 for all my Coyote pelts and a Wolf pelt could bring $400-$600.
      Thank you for your question and for watching my video!
