There are some good books that talk location, coyote biology, why and where to make sets and talk about the sets in general. If you have an open mind there are things from books that can be incorperated into ones trapping and can help to shape how you go about things, no one will find all they need to be a succesful trapper from A book or A video but compile what one does know, what one learns from the actions of trapping and what one learns from other sources ie: Books and videos, personnel instruction.
Many have good tidbits in them and video helps many people understand and take in information faster. A trapper today because of media can shorten the learning curve by alot. That said many who write books today are just putting their opwn twist on much of what has been in print or video for many years, but they need to show or tell something a tad different to sell the product.

FWIW give me a book heavy on coyote habits, biology and less on actual whiz bang sets and spraying everything down with coyote pee anyday for more value into trapping coyotes.

I enjoyed the Clever Coyotye of Youngs and Hoofbeats but, NOTHING like trying and learning on your merits.

the question asked, was what are good books on coyotes. I've trapped all my life, literally. Caught my first red at age 13 in 1963. Started trapping coyotes at age 35. the first 4-5 years was 100% on my own- no books, no videos, no instructions, no nothing. high year those first few years, was 15 in 2 weeks. after reading a few books, my numbers began to climb. Wish I had had a few more good books early on. here is a free resource Logan Predator Research sitesome absolutely excellent articles and research findings |

O'Gorman's Hoofbeats is packed with info and written by a man with a passion for coyotes that is unrivaled.

I wouldn't agree that OG's passion for coyotes is unrivaled. In fact from what I hear it was very hard to get Gerge Good to talk about much of anything if it didn't deal with coyotes. I also know others who have a very great understanding of coyotes and a true passion as well.

Yep, Hoofbeats it is. But Slims Problems and Solutions books in the early 80;s did more to formulate my thinking and "style" than any other.

Slim has some good books too for sure-
I met Slim a couple of times, and he treats you like an equal. JC too.

Hoofbeats, O'G worked our ranch for years so much of what is in the book I can directly relate to. I had to "borrow" a copy from an aquaintance because of the 300 rule.
