Every time I watch your videos I learn something new. Licenced Trapper Ontario

I like how you deal with freezing conditions and setting your traps to fire correctly. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Stay well and God Bless.

I’d love to see a Saturday night skinning session again!

Now that this trapping season is over, I’m pretty excited to see what you have in store for us next season!! Hope all is well Stu!

Another great video. I can say i use wax dirt but wasn't putting wax dirt in my trap bed and had alot of trouble with them freezing down while coyotes worked my set . Ive got to try making that hay set cause ive struggled with hard frozen ground or extremely wet mudd. Thanks for Another informative video

Great job, thanks for sharing your time

Great catches stu! nice looking coyotes and resets.👍❤️

Great video I've learned a lot from watching your videos appreciate it thanks for sharing

Great job. Thanks gor the simplicity.

Great work, never got a yote this year. Can't wait for October again

As a new trapper in Maine, I have found your videos very informative. Thank you and can't wait to get out on on the trapline and see more of your videos. Getting out with guys that have done it forever, and are willing to share their knowledge is a huge bonus!!!

you love killing shit. You should be proud

I only k9 trapped late season this year, basically january. I had hay sets and dirt hole. The foxes were all caught in hay sets. I only set 2 locations. 1 sucked, caught 1 fox. The other was great, caught 6 foxes, all in the same hay set. There is just something about the hay they like. I use 2 traps for them. 1 year ( 2006 I think), I caught 81 foxes, and 60 were taken in hay sets!

Keep Doing What You Love and never let anyone slow you down!! I love all your videos!!

You are the best man! You've changed so many lives when it comes to trapping including myself big time I appreciate you a ton! Stay stu

Stuuu!!!! Thanks for always being real dude! Rookie here from Iowa! Good Vibes!

Nice looking yote for Illinois stew. Good job its our last day here in pa I got til 5:59 sunset gotta have everything pulled headed out to start pulling now. I had coyote tracks all around a double this mornings check but they stayed 5 feet from set I went out earlier and put fresh urine on it I'll be pulling them at 5:58!

Good catches CC

Thanks for another great video 💯💯💯💯👍🏽

Thanks for sharing

I was wondering at first why you didn't put in another set on the other side of the brook ? But I see you did ! I like to put in two sets on a cross road . I've caught plenty of doubles or if I got a trash animal in one I still had another one working ! I also like a urine set not far from a dirt hole ! Again I've caught doubles with this set up ! Great video !

Nice job on the coyotes.

Whoohoo good lesson!

Just found this page a couple weeks ago. I am now investing in traps. And everything I know is from you. Will share your page with everyone I know!!

Tried the hay set during some bad weather this year and had some misses. I'm assuming the hay itself fouled the traps (MB550s). Any specific recommendations to avoid that?

New drinking game take a shot every time you hear “wax dirt”

Same set different look. That works. Keep making videos. I am getting old and I enjoy watching. Wax dirt is the only way to go in the mid West.

Hey Coon Creek! How have you been brother? Hopefully you're having a great season. Not sure if you have ever come across my channel, I've watched you for a while and always love the videos. I noticed alot of my subscribers also watch your channel, I'm hoping we can meet up one day. I've been trapping since I was 14. 36 now lol. Started my first trapping bit on here last year and it was pretty epic. Was always leery about all the antis on here but finally said to heck with um. I'm looking forward to filming another season. Tight chains brother

Do think there’s any disadvantage to using trail cams looking at your trap sets? Does the infrared light scare coyotes if there’s a red sensor flash?

Great video!

I like seeing your sets I did it at the farm. I would do set in woods and call them in. Fun times

My grandpa was a state trapper in western Oklahoma where there’s lots of oil field sites. He would use oily dirt from the sites to keep his traps from freezing. I personally have used it in eastern Oklahoma where’s there’s no oil fields and it works. So the smell doesn’t hurt the set.

I know that this was 6mo ago but I used an old ice auger to make the dirt hole in frozen ground then mixed calcium chloride from a tire shop with the dirt in the hole and used it to bed and cover the trap. I would angle the hole under a weed or clump of grass and apply lure to the top of the weed and place bait in the hole and put enough dirt in to cover the bait but still have a hole deep enough to get the coyote to put his paw on the trap before he can see all all the way down the hole. The treated dirt would last through 2 or 3 storms before needing to be retreated.

Are you using pipe insulation wrap for pan covers? I've been using regular attic insulation that I cut into 2 x 2 squares. Is the pipe insulation better?

Congrats on over 1,000 coyotes! That’s a lot of skinning. Lol. What’s your best season number?

So let me see if I get the idea. 1. Set the trap just off the travel path. 2. Bait the trap to draw the coyote 3. The hole looks like an animal lives inside. 4. Deer and other non-target animals are unlikely to get caught because the plate is a 3-inch square in a vast total area. (the coyote has to step hard and might not even get caught) The locals in Georgia are using snares. Thanks for the video. 😎👍

Looks awesome

Nice trapping. What do you use to get them to come to the trap?

Really wish you would slowly show the step by step process on sets!

You might think of relocating the trap if you’re consistently getting the raccoons. By the way that yot is a beautiful specimen. I hope you kept it for yourself! Great work!

LOVIN" the channel bud!!

what do you use in your baits that are used on your yote sets

Would have been nice to see a shot from directly above yer set when you were pouring in the wax dirt and saying it's not completely covered up. That said, another informative vid.

Doh! Guess it helps to watch to the end. Good vid.

Christian County in IL has mid-winter Coyote hunts. Coyote numbers are exploding. Either guys like you control the numbers or they fall from starvation and disease.

650 is such a heavy trap. Isn't a #2 or #3 Duke or Bridger plenty? Even the 550s seem like overkill. Interested in your choice.

Those look like calf-killin black buzzards to me.

These coyotes seemed relaxed from ohther videos I’ve seen in the past . They almost know their doomed .

How do you deal with Fleas and Ticks on Coyotes before skinning?

Doesn't fragment. Sounds like he sells the meat. Small and fast fragments can ruin meat and maybe hide. I'll be interested to see any other responses.

Would’ve liked to see you put the hay around the set to see more detail.

I have a question for you- why would you not set the trap right in that pinch point or right outside of it? I feel like when you go that far out into the field a coyote is not going to notice or come across your set? Obviously it worked, but what’s your reasoning?

I don’t know if I like the new alpha style or doglegs traps that nigh latch on that pan is literally like micro sized about 1/4 the width of a regular bastard file and could go away after a couple trips of the pan . I like the 450-550 -650 style teas the best good dogs and pans are level

What are you using to dispatch

Awesome

Hope you get caught like this one day 💙

Just heard you talking on the radio

looks like central Ill. i trapped there in the 70s early 80s used to have lots of pheasants

How long does it take you to dispose of or process your animals? Do you do all the work yourself? Great Work! 👍👍

had them kill a grey fox before in one of my sets

Thanks

Have you ever had your fingers snapped into a trap? What kind of damage will it do?

I have been told I can’t check my wolf sets more than once every couple weeks and I like to check every day or two, caught several hundred wolves and up to 5 in one set in one day

Great video , enjoy everything that you do. Have you ever had trouble with Coyotes shying away from the wax dirt ? I tried it this year and they would not step into the sets with wax dirt. Not sure why. Thanks again.

You're not supposed to keep the Home Depot shopping baskets 🤣

Who say’s, “stay away from sets”? It’s funny because they live among us. You’ll never beat their nose, THEY WILL ALWAYS KNOW YOU WERE IN THE AREA, it’s time we grow from what we have been told. I wear leather gloves, rubber boots and very minimal scent control concern. I’ll catch with the best of us non professional trappers. I do think too much guidance adds to too much clutter. Too much going on but I also don’t have luck with yotes when setting right next to cover, but I’ve seen people do it on here.

good

What is your bate???

I hunt Turkey and fish but do not trap. I have an honest question for you and I mean no disrespect: Does it ever bother you that the animal suffers in pain while caught in the trap? Also, how long is the animal usually in the trap before you find it? Thanks for reading my comment.

Ya know 🙄

Yea the crap I hear about hunting with scent killer and not driving up to sets and such. Bullcrap. Animals are so used to humans now the scent and movement does t stir them up UNLESS you are in a very rural area

"Paw still touching the pan" It would be on any trap. That's what trips the trap?? Take a good look at the trap at the 2:19 mark. That trap could hold 3 paws that size? Why not use an 850, it's nearly 2 inches bigger? "It's the trapper, not the trap that catches an animal", but in this case, that's debatable! Great job of pimping for Duke.

Is this all you can do, killing animals ?? omg 1000 you killed . You better start learning a new job , in a few years the coyotes will be a protected kind of animal by law thanks to you efforts.

Your ignorance in this comment just shows how much you know about wildlife management. Coyotes first of all don’t belong on the eastern side of this country they are native to the Midwest and western states, they have become extremely overpopulated and still are (especially in the southern states). They cause extreme damage to other wildlife populations and kill pets very often. Killing 1000 of these doesn’t even come close to scratching the surface of how many there are just in his state. The population of coyotes won’t ever go anywhere they will always be here unfortunately, constantly causing damage. Also it is not your place to tell him what to do he has just as much right to take these animals as you do to comment idiotic comments like this, mind your own business.

Too many coyotes there are already dieing of mange. Mange is caused from overpopulation. Trapping them keeps the population at a normal level. It is alot better being shot in the head then slowly dieing of mange.
