I was able to take a 2 week, working vacation for the first time in a lot of years. Started on November 27th and had most everything pulled on December 11th. About 1,200 miles on the pickup. I have to admit the first week had a few hiccups and I started to doubt why I was doing it. However, by the end of the second week I was wishing I had more time! Numbers wise this is the best 2 week coyote line I have ever run as a private trapper (I was a government trapper for a number of years). Besides the critters in the picture I trapped another 7 coyotes that were too mangy to keep, around a couple dozen coons, 6 beaver, 2 badgers, 1 possum and 1 skunk along the way. The barn is on a farm that is now owned by my mom but has been in our family since the 1870s which is when this barn was likely built. The barn will likely be torn down this summer and I have always wanted to get one of the traditional barn shots with a trapper and his catch. My daughter has a photography business and I told her for Christmas I wanted to spend a afternoon with her and get some photos (she would probably frown knowing I posted this one as she hasnt worked her magic on the pictures yet, but I was anxious to share one!).
