interested in trapping

We couldnt decimate them when trapping was legal, aint gonna happen guys, they are survivors like crows, possum, cockroaches and rats, put a $100 bounty on their head and you might slow em down, seriously though, they'll be on this planet when we are all gone....

If he does not mind then I will post for everybody. He is over by the Moses Lake area. We need to get rid of these damn Yotes. I have been told that they have killed off the Fox population over here as well.

Are you saying you know a guy who routinely and effectively traps coyotes with cage traps?  Because he would be a rock star in the trapping world, there have been literally hundreds and hundreds of good trappers trying to catch coyotes in cage traps.  I think the average is 1 or 2 coyotes out of a few thousand sets.  Tell him he NEEDS to divulge his secrets, the trapping world and deer fawns need him to come clean!

Catching coyotes in cage traps! I think this is a exercise in futility and wasted time and money. If you want to catch coyotes get a permit and use footholds. With the price of fuel and cage traps no way you can ever break even. I think it's great some people want to give it a try, I'll pass as I can only afford to lose so much money trapping. Sorry for being negative, just trying to give a realistic view. Merry Xmas.

            are you saying that you can get a permit to use foothold traps?  that runs contrary to what everybody else has been saying.   looks like i need to spend some quality time with the trapping regs

Deaner, What he means is that you can get a nuisance permit from Fish and Wildlife if you go through thier class and the land owner has a problem with them kill livstock or something to that affect. After you get yout trapping test done you can go though a nuisance wildlife class. If you know landowners that need Yotes taken out then you can get a permit to do it. The problem is it is illegal to sell the pelts if they are not tanned first. You can only do i if they are trapped with a cage trap and that is with all animlas you catch.

Youtube has some good info on trapping. It may not provide ALL the information you need, but has some good info.

Deaner, go to watrappers.com web page, on that page you will see an application for a permit to remove a problem animal. If you have a rancher with livestock you can get a permit to remove said problem animal. I have in the past gotten a permit before a problem happens as during calving season. It's a historical problem and happens every year. You put down dogs and hazing as methods used to prevent problems. All ranchers have dogs and shooting at coyotes is hazing. As thenoob stated you can't sell the raw pelts which is correct. But if you happen to be calling coyotes while trapping, which is perfectly legal, I know of no way to tell those coyotes apart once skinned.

You do not need to take the NWCO class to get a permit to use padded jaw traps or conibears underwater. Any one can apply for the permit. You don't even need a trapping license if you are the landowner.
