One Man's Quest For A Thousand Coyotes - by Robert Waddell

People have asked me to share the progress on my quest to trap 1000 Coyotes this year. My articles have been published in Fur Taker Magazine but I also wanted to provide a way to share updates as the days pass. Please know that I appreciate your comments but I may not be able to reply quickly as I am busy in the field. The best way to connect with me with a text to (660) 216-1780 or, email me at 65rwaddell@gmail.com. Thank you for your interest.

Bad ice storm last night. All of my sets have 1/2" of ice over them. This set was worked after the storm passed. The coyote dug up the muskrat and is prebaited for tonight.

The coyote that were caught today we're caught prior to the storm (during the day yesterday) last night.

Only 3 coyotes and 1 coon total today. Forgot to take a picture before I skinned this evening. Totally focused on going to bed early tonight.

Had to run tire chains on the ice to be able to check traps and not wreck the truck. Way faster and safer in 2WD with chains (35-40mph) than with out chains in 4WD at 15mph!
