Yep, that's a good run!
Are they piled all the way to the bottom or are they on something? If piled, the ones on the bottom musn't be as pretty as the ones on top.
Dog kennels at the front of the truck ?

Nice Run!! Thats better than fifteen stinky coyotes any day ;D
I'm gonna have to trap Iowa at least once. I love trapping coons and skinning them and putting them up.
I've about touched the last coyote i want to this year.
Nice coons "Guess you can tell I like coons ;D"

How in the world is it still daylight while taking that picture?
Hopefully the skinning knives are sharp and the beer is cold!
And that is one of the most impressive pic ive seen this year!

You guys are witnessing why Iowa has pheasants and quail! It is because the trappers have the tools needed to harvest coons!
You cross into Missouri and you no longer have pheasants and quail. Missouri trappers do not have the tools to properly manage the resource.

Getrz;"Robert, so what tools are Missouri Trappers lacking? Care to explain?"
Missouri trappers need dry land snares and dry land conibears. Currently Missouri Trappers are not managing the oppossum, skunk and feral cats, in fact most trappers do everything they can to avoid these animals with foot hold traps by going to the water.
Missouri Trappers need a dry land snare at the beginning of season....Not December 15th. The dry land conibears (like a 160) offer a safe alternative for trail setting that will harvest every skunk (cleanly), oppossum and feral cat that comes along with out destroying the trail so repeated catches can be made.
Using the current survey results (as tabulated last night) 75% of Missouri Trappers also support legalizing and would be comfortable using a dry land 160 conibear on their trap lines.

Robert I was thinking of trying some fryland 160's next year, don't mean to steal the thread but if you could quickly answer you mean 160 buckets and/or 160 trail. And do you have to do anything difft for 160 trail never used them myself.
