108 - Coyote Biology and Behavior
Coyote Trapping School Podcast
Then I go through a general overview of coyote biology and behavior. As trappers, we should be experts on the game that we pursue, so I thought it might be helpful to review some data regarding coyotes, hopefully to improve our effectiveness as trappers. Coyotes are a pretty interesting critter anyway, especially looking at their expansion throughout North American, and possibly soon South America.

107 - Meat Trapping
Coyote Trapping School Podcast
If you’re a trapper or hunter, odds are that you’ve at least considered eating various wild game. I think eating some of the meat we catch is a great opportunity to introduce others to wild game as well as give us some additional arguments to those who don’t approve of trapping. The fact is, when handled properly it is quality tablefare, and a great talking point!

105 - Trapping Harvest and Historical Data
Coyote Trapping School Podcast
In this week’s episode I dig into some trapper survey data and find some historical data of trapper harvest from several different states, some dating back to the 1930s. It is very interesting data and highlights how important it is for trappers to accurately respond to those surveys. Our game agencies rely on us for good data, and if we don’t provide it to them then they don’t have good data to manage the resource with.

100 - Faith and the First Longliner
Coyote Trapping School Podcast
In this episode I talk about one of the most important things in my life, my faith. I believe that we were put on this earth by our Heavenly Father, and that through His son, Jesus Christ, our sins have been forgiven and we can have a personal relationship with God. And one of the most important things in that relationship is spreading the Gospel and letting others know about the Good News of Jesus Christ.
info_outlineIn this episode I talk through a spreadsheet I put together that outlines, and allows you to consider all the overhead costs that should be factored when you are pricing jobs. This sheet breaks your rate down into monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly rates or targets. This is something that you can use as a starting point when you are considering what your rates should be. I’d be happy to share this spreadsheet with anyone that is interested, just shoot me an email at [email protected].
