Deer season is over, but that doesn't mean managing the deer herd is. One of the best ways to do that in South Carolina is to thin the numbers of coyotes that, according to SCDNR biologist Charles Ruth, is responsible for the majority of deer fawn kills each year.

Chris Warren, Tracy O'Neal Leviner and Mikey Colboth have been having a lot of success trapping on private land in the midlands, especially in Sumter County.
Coyotes, possums, red and gray foxes, and raccoons have all fallen victim to the trio's traplines in the past few days. They have caught mulitples of each on several occasions, mostly using soft-jaw foot hold traps baited with Palmetto.... Read More

This is the committment of trapping, pouring down rain walk in 1/2 mile in the dark and through the mud and muck, but the rewards can be great! In this case a huge Golf Course Beaver. Now we have to carry him out! 1/2 mile back out through the mud and the muck, suns up now, priceless memories with my son and trapping partner.

Set 6 sets Saturday for coyotes.
Caught one 57 pound male grey on Sunday and one 50 male black on Monday. Big animals!
Pulled traps tuesday have to travel for work.
Oh yeah 6 muskrats.
Deer are getting scarce!
Will try to make a dozen sets on dec 23
Lets knock down these coyotes!

Our channel set is consistantly producing. We made a slide set today, we'll see how it does tomorrow.
We are counting down the days for our first Dec 1 opening day! I know I am anxious to get some steel in the ground! Having an additional month to trap has me looking for more land.....If any of you know of more land available....let me know!
Hopefully we will show some good catches this season. I'm trying out some new lure and bait, so I am hopeful it will be as good as I've heard.

My work usually slows through the winter months so I thought I would be around to do some serious trapping this year. Fortunitly I was extreamly busy all winter and unfortunitly I didn't get to do much trapping. The last Saturday I made 6 coyote sets with my son. The last day was March 1 and we caught this nice coyote. If God's willing we'll see you all next year.

Been trapping muskrats and beaver, but made 5 coyote sets today. Hope to make 7 more tomorrow.
I make a lot of dirt hole sets with a backstop. Rock, log, clump of grass etc...
I also always put a stepping stick right in front of the trap jaw. It helps guide there foot onto the pan

Nice photos of your setups. How has the trapping been....
Coyotes have overrun our hunting land for the past 5-7 years. We were considering paying someone to trap coyotes for us but were told the best way to begin is to pay someone to train people in the club to trap, seemed expensive. Any recommendations on the best way to begin to trap these animals? I would love to try it but not sure where to start or if I have the time.
