Well, it wasn't the best season, but it was my first. I learned alot, and need to learn alot more for next season. I bought most of the equipment that I'll need, and talked to alot of folks who know what they are doing. It gets kind of frustrating when I see pictures of local trappers displaying 30-40 fox hides, when I hunted all season for just 1, and never got him! But it will make it that much better when I finally do get him.
I got a pocket full of racoon urine (spilled masking scent) I got into alot of uncomfortable possitions, I got a hell of a scare from a sneaky chip munk. Foot fell asleep, tick in my ear and a bunch of no shows. But most of all, I got a damned good education on fox hunting. I think I'll do it again next season, hopefully with better results.
I might try for a coyote this spring / summer, but seems like such a waste because thier coats will be all thin and mangey until winter. My first fur bearers will be trophies, I'd like them to look thier best.

if they're mangey in the summer they'll be mangey in the winter too... those bugs don't die off till the host dies off...

I think he is just talking about a thin summer coat, not "the mange".
