Well, the Popeye arms are finally rested......decided to do bundles this year vs. individual coyotes on nails. I like this picture mainly because instead of borrowing a barn, I used the "Love Shack Out Back".....a little cabin a buddy and I built this year on my Back 40. Here's an example of why men should not wear fur.....but women should: Me and the boys....... Put it in the can......my 32nd year of trapping without missing a season.....I am officially an old-timer. Zagman

As always, a great photo and great season! Still not sure how you do it, with work travel and all, Just plain old hard work and skill I guess. Congratulations on another record season!

Anyone notice the my huge weasel and mink and skunk and beaver and muskrat catch?
I will say, the barn pics are certainly easier to do with bundles/hangers vs. individual nails.
Still, with such a smaller foot print, not sure if it shows as well this way. Trust me, there are 102 coyotes in that picture (101 trapped/one shot)......just had to cram them in a bit to make the picture.

Zagman, My hats off to you. That is very impressive. I see what looks like two black coyotes, my brother caught one this year that he sold to a friend for tanning. The taxidermist was offered $200.00 for the pelt. How do you catch so many coyotes and not more fox, just don't have as many in your area?

Very well done. Thats one warm looking coyote glove. 32 years a trapper makes ya an old timer? only 18 more to go til what? 50? We are about the same age I reckon.

You started a bit younger than I. I just turned 48. Unfortunately I dont have the spunk to catch the fur as you do. Lost my back about 44 years old. Once again, beautiful picture.

Congrats! Just can't look at the great pics without adding a post. Many a young trapper will look at these with envy and give them something to strive for.
Maybe you posted somewhere else, but any idea of the following?:
# Males / # Females Heaviest Lightest and, finally, any really unusual? Like three-leggers, one-eyes, no tails, etc?
