I've never killed a coyote that would qualify as a "two pointer" so no need to practice in killing them. You know the saying, "A one pointer in the truck is worth more than a two pointer in the bush." ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Well TR, I aint gonna make it. I fell and cut my trigger fimger to the knuckle. Got infected. Besides the trigger pull problem, Im afraid if I dont pay attention I may lose it. Good luck and have fun.

What a pus!
Steve0 showed up last year right after he had all that major cosmetic surgery. He probably wrote it off as a business expense; all those video stars do it?
Well, seriously, that's too bad. How the heck did you manage to slice your most important nose picker so severely?
Good hunting. LB

I was helpin my boys set some beaver and coon traps. I climbed down about a 8' mud bank to make a set on a beaver slide. On the way back up I was climbing on all fours. When I got almost to the top I stood up and my feet went out from under me. I fell forward to catch myself so I didnt slide down the bank and hit my hand on a #3 doublespring. It wasnt set, but my finger between the nail and nuckle, hit the jaw and fileted it all the way into the knuckle.
At the time it didnt seem too bad, I figgered it was just a cut. I wrapped a glove around it and continued about my business. Got home and I could see the knuckle bone! Like a dumbass I didnt get it stitched. Then it got infected. And here I am. Hoping the infection dies before it gets into the bone. Dont want to talk about that....

What in the hell were you using a coyote trap on beaver for?
Can you use the #4 there?
You'd better just send me all of those #3 coyote traps, I'll be sure the evil bastard never hurt you again !
( Are you catching many beaver? )

Ive been using 3s for beaver forever. I got some 4s but 3s work great for front foot drown sets. At least I havent had any problems.
We just got started. Caught one this week was all. Im thinking that was the only one in that particular pool? It was a young male and there hasnt been any activity or wet slides since. We caught 4 coons and a couple possum off that little stretch of creek. Pulled them up yesterday and going to set a different stretch tomorrow.
Were not hitting it too hard. The boys are expressing an intrest and I want them to learn. Were not after numbers, just a learning experience for them. Im having fun too.
Of course now Im limited to walking along and answering questions and giving instruction. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
Ive been taking some pictures of them and their fur. Ill try to send them to you or post them when were done, if you wanna see?

Don't feel too bad Andy. I've caught my hand in a Bridger 3, 4 coiled and modified. I cussed twice, once when I got caught and once when I hit the end of the chain. (old joke, I know) But I hope you get healed up. Traps can be painful in alot of different ways.

When are you going to post those pictures?
I bought my first #3 Double long spring two seasons before I was big enough to set it myself. I'd have Dad set it, then stuff something under the pan and take it down to the Creek to "Wash off the scent" before taking it out to try and catch a coyote.
One summer, I finally learned to break it open over my knee and set it myself. Called the Folks into the dining room to show off my new skills.... then promptly caught the tip of my finger right at the edge of the jaws, and the spring pushed my finger up as it closed. Sliced the tip off even with the end of the bone.
Luckily, it was still several weeks before season opened, that gave Dad and I time to talk Mom into allowing me to trap again.
It was still several more years before I finally caught that first coyote. But I never quit trying.

Im not smart enough to post pics, but I will email them to ya Tim. The boys doing pretty good. Just a little over a week into it and hes getting a pretty good sack of fur. Yesterday morning he had 10 sets out total and had two coons, a muskrat and a beaver. Not too shabby for a learning boy.

Thanks Tim.
My boys, especially the oldest, have been showing some intrest in trapping. I had put my traps up several years back, but they dug them out and got everything ready. There is a creek not too far from here that they wanted to trap. I told them I would go help them learn how to make coon and beaver sets.
This is their first weeks catch. They are wading up and down a little creek, with limited area. They took a dozen of my traps, but I dont think they have had out ten sets yet?
I think the boys are learning pretty quick. What do you guys think? Im pretty proud of them. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Hell, I'd even say that an end zone line dance was in order by the three of you. Maybe you could use the footage of it in your next dvd.

17 is what I'm hearing thru the grapevine. A new record, and by "you know who"'s. I guess, assuming the rumors are right, those guys are the irrefutable champions.

17 can't be a new record, they brought in 18 two years ago.
We didn't even go to check in, only loaded 4 in the truck, and none of 'em qualified as "two pointers", so we saved our fuel and came home early.
