I DID IT!
« on: January 17, 2018, 09:02:18 PM »
I/We did it. My son Logan and I are getting into trapping and have had traps out for about 2 to 3 weeks now with zero results. We checked our traps yesterday afternoon/evening and didn't get out today. I was going to go check them in the morning. At 1700 this afternoon I got a call from the farmer. His grandson went for a ride with his 4 wheeler and saw a coyote in one of our traps. It's the first animal that we've ever trapped. She's a beautiful female which I will tan and hang on my wall.

I personally want to thank my dad Barry Strickland for his confidence in me and his effort to keep me patient. Also I'd like to thank Mike Wojtach, Robby Gilbert of Trapping Time TV for the great show, and everyone else who may have played a part in our first bit of success.

Thanks guys. It sure was fun. Now the wife's mad at me because I just spent  $40 on baits today. Lol

Quattro, please feel free to post the pic as I was unable to do so.

She weighed in at 28lbs but the buyer said that she was rubbed. So now I know what is meant by that term.

And yes, the set was immediately remade.
