A nice blonde dog, many have told me once you have a good trap line dog your spoiled for life! I hope to kill a good many coyotes with her help over the next 7-9 years. Finding set locals, making urine post sets for me ;D, finding coyotes on drags, denning time will be awsome with the aid of a good dog! Plus the companionship, while I drive around everyday. Just have to keep her out of the porcupines  . Her parents have excellent blood lines. |

if she will learn to suck in coyotes that are stand offish, way out, to a call, she will be worth here weight in gold. One that will bring the denning pair into a gun ,and then go find the den too are also priceless. Be sure and smack her face with m44`s and red pepper enough times she won`t get near one. Those s.o.b.`s are everywhere where they will tell you none are there. Equally, make sure she won`t pick up tallow balls or drink antifreeze or eat that yellow stuff. Plenty of that baloney still out there even tho it is illegal.

How would you train the dog to not stick it's head in a cubbie, snare or the traps?Thanks.

Any dog that is lead rope broke, won't have a problem with a snare, after a few times they learn quick, cubbies are you referring to 220's? I don't use them so won't have to worry about that either, we don't have much coon trapping actvity out my way. A foot trap will be a few sets made minus the trap and will be taught those smells aren't a good deal. Most of the time she will work dragged coyotes and looking for possible set locals and the such, but she is going to shine during the denning/ pup rearing season. I know I would have had more dead coyotes with the aid of a good dog last spring/summer.

I let my dog get caught in snares, foot traps, conibears , you name it. Of course I was there to get him out. Unless he is a dunce once or twice at most and he is trap proof. I have watched my dog at a dead run duck a snare he surely could not see or smell , over and over at different places and times. Snared him good once as a pup and that was all it took. Of course I think this dog can about read he is so dang smart. If he is dumb enough to die in a snare or coni after training, likely no loss anyway. I`ve had a few over the years I just gave up on and took out and shot. There are so many really good dogs out there that I see no reason to keep a knucklehead. For a pet fine, but for a serious trapline dog or working dog you want the genious types. They come in all shapes and sizes too, so don`t county any breed or cur out, some are million dollar dogs.

I have a five month old Blackmouth Cur. Bought him in Belgrade MT from a gentleman named Dennis Biggs. He uses his for ADC work. I planned on taking my dog with me to work him on coyotes. My complete plan is for him to be a decoy dog more than anything when I am out calling. Maybe I should put more stock into him helping me on my trap line. Give me your thoughts. Is he too young to tag along? The sooner the better? All I know is I always enjoy having a dog with me. Can a good dog kill a trapped coyote without help or do you keep him back until you have dispatched the coyote yourself?

  This is my Trapline dog.....more of a buddy than an actual working dog. But she never complains, never have to wait for her to get ready to go in the morning and gets as excited as me when we have a catch. Last year I caught her in a snare and twice in a foothold.......we had a serious talk the second time in the foothold and I told her there wouldn't be a third time....so far she has complied. |

my pup is 9 weeks old and will ride with me more days than not! I don't feel a dog is too young to tag along as long as he/she is eating dried food! From what I have been told from my guys is just not to let them interact with coyotes too young if they get whipped, thats the quickest way to ruin a good dog! I will shoot the coyotes first and let her get a feel for them that way first and progress on as she gets bigger. I'm hoping by the end of next summer she will have down what I expect her to do and just get better with more age.
