Would scent contamination be a serious problem if it were from a lure? Aren't all of those scents basically natural fragrances? Would a lure made for foxes necessarily repulse a beaver, or a ringtail cat or coyote?
Leonard Urban the concern of scent contamination is primarily the trap getting an odor on it that would give it away to the animal. So far as the different scents there is little issue with them scaring off animals, it's possible but not as much of a concern as keeping your traps and equipment scent free
do you have a video on WHERE to trap? We have 52 acres and logging property north and east of us. We have dogs and neighbors have free range dogs... I dont want to trap any of our domestic dogs... Any suggestions? thanks
The dogs do complicate things a little more. I'd concentrate on the farthest areas away from the houses and look for intersections, be it road intersections and intersections of different cover types, such as a field and woods intersection or creek running through a field and road crossing the creek. I'll try to get a video done on looking at an aerial photo like on google earth where to target
Coyote Trapping School I have so much to learn. I am just starting. We have hundreds of acres of wooded land around us. we only have 3 neighbors w/in 1 to 2 miles of us. we have plenty of trapping area, I think? I need to learn where it is legal to trap. When you say "intersections" are you taling about game trail intersections? We have deer, elk, moose, coyote, porcupine and bobcat in our area. we hear coyote howling often, one took one of my ducks during the day and something tried to get my free range chickens the other night. I am fairly sure I saw a black wolf and a grey wolf a few days ago on the logging land and my husband saw a bobcat near our home. Exciting, huh? Can you suggest where a beginner like me should start educating myself? thanks again
Intersections can be game trails but I focus more on woods roads, I'm usually focusing on covering ground so I trap close to where I can drive to. Definitely sounds like you've got plenty of potential where you are! I'm sure you've found plenty of videos on youtube, my website www.coyotetrappingschool.com is geared towards teaching beginners how to trap and I do offer a course there that is specific to teaching you the basics from outlining what gear you need, how to prepare it, and how to set traps to catch coyotes. Feel free to shoot me any questions you may have at kris@coyotetrappingschool.com. I hope this is helpful!
My concern about snares is that the hog would die and meat spoil before I could get back to it. Our winters here are fairly mild, so the meat wouldn't freeze on an animal of any size. Is there a way to snare without strangling them?
New trapper here too, first year. Glad guys like you putting out great informative videos for guys like myself.
Glad we got new folks getting into trapping too! Good luck
What size trap do you like for coyote
Thank you so much for posting trapping videos this year will be my first year trapping and I've been looking for a channel that post recently
Rivers Stevenson Outdoors good luck this season, I plan on keeping the videos coming, glad to hear they are helpful

NICE VIDEO FOR BEGINERS.GREAT JOB.
A lot of good information. You know your starting to make it big when the trolls start giving you thumbs down LOL..
Is it possible to trap feral hogs alive without going to a cage trap? If so, how would one go about it?
Leonard Urban it is possible to catch them in some foothold traps. If it's legal a more common method is to snare them

Leonard Urban look into the belisle foot snare. We use them to catch 300-500 pound hogs here in Oklahoma year round.
THANKS!
Thanks for the tip!
