2023/2024 Trapping Thread

Them coyotes had it ruff. When they get like that. The smell they put off is bad. A coyote is a coyote too me. I enjoy catching them all. Mother Nature is hard on them.
 
I’m starting to get anxious for some spring beaver trapping! Skinning the last 9 coyotes tomorrow or Tuesday night and then I’ll be done with them till next year

You got me thinking now. I’m healed up enough to do some trapping now but nothing I trap is worth anything this time of the year. I’ve never trapped beavers before. When does their fur typically become worthless in the spring? Definitely going to be a learning experience for me if I do jump into this but we can trap them til May 31 here and I’m real itchy to get out and about.
