I never had an opportunity to trap, but I have been going after coyotes on my farm. They are pretty cagey, though and you gotta be able to shoot them from a couple hundred yards at least.
We've been having better luck since we got a couple of big dogs. They draw the b*stards out in the field where we can nail them. But they have also got torn up pretty good, too. They're getting better at it, though. Learning the coyote tricks. There are some wolves here, too. Or some sort of wolf/dog/coyote cross that is quite a bit bigger than a coyote and more bold.
I didn't realize Dakota had such a short fuse!! No intention at all about razzing anyone about what they do. And I'm OK with trapping, anyway. We have enough of that shzt up here with tree huggers and oil haters and other d*ckheads who want to stop everything and go back to the stone age. Ever heard of David Suzuki? Yeah, he's from BC.
My wife spent some of her teenage years on a ranch near a lake where lots of guys fished. She saw a chinese guy there all the time who trapped muskrats. He was part of a family in town who ran a restaurant, and she always wondered if some of the specials had extra protein from the 'rats.
What are the pelts worth? What is a raccoon pelt worth? I thought the fur buz was just about dead...
