Wow, he gave me a lot of cage trapping info, both by email and over the phone. (I still can't seem to make it work, but that's all me). He was the only guy I've ever heard of that could regularly catch coyotes in cage traps. I haven't been to Predator Masters lately, but I bet there is a huge thread on there. May he rest in peace, and if there is a Happy Hunting Ground, I bet he is there, and is using "real" traps again.
