All I ever caught when trapping years ago were Grinner and a neighbor's dog. After catching the dog's paw I found it and let it go without getting bit. I pulled up my traps after that and never trapped again.
I was trying to catch a fox or raccoon.
I see that they have some new type of traps that are dog proof for catching raccoons. If I were to start trapping that's the type of traps I would use.
I'd rather just shoot any coyotes I see.

A successful trapped animal picture does make it look easy but I assure you it is a lot of hard work and a lot of late evenings in the skinning shed, but well work the time in the outdoors. I would not rather be doing anything else. When you are trapping hundreds of acres and you can get a coyote to step on a 2 inch pan you have done something. Take up trapping, you will be hooked the first time you catch something, even if it is a grinner. [/b]
