Here are some of ours from MD this year.
MONSTER! And some trapper needs his ass-kicked for leaving him in the trap long enough to self-amputate. There's a reason you're supposed to check them daily at a minimum. it takes at least 2-3 days for an animal to do that to themselves.One of the largest was this 3 legged male from Davidsonville. Just over 70 lbs. For reference I’m 6’, 230

Very nice! I definitely have some large coyotes on trail cam in the Davidsonville area. I hope to get some time to get out and try to “meet” a few of the localsWell, we’ve had a pretty good contest season so far. Took two in GA in December and just won the Midwest Coyote Fest this last weekend for the 2nd year in a row. Talk about some brutal weather. Some great causes were supported and we have some outstanding companies behind us.
What evidence do you have it was a trapper? I take offense to this remark. I find trappers to be the most ethical folks around.MONSTER!

What do you do with all those, toss them or do you skin them and process the pelts?Well, we’ve had a pretty good contest season so far.

From what I've gathered, it's quite popular in some circles.I wouldn't recommend eating them... unless you like the taste of dog meat. it's essentially the same. Not technically inedible, but definitely not on the delicacy menu.

I’ll second thatWish you'd put on a siminar on how you shoot that many yotes. I'd attend.

I shot a doe that was missing a rear hoof. I dont think that was trap related. I shot another that the hoof was hanging on by some skin.It was a fresh wound. I'm almost certain it was caused by a bullet.Former trapper here as well, and I agree, but there are those who don't live up to the standards that we're supposed to. My apologies that my assumption offended you, but not a lot of other reasons that a Coyote would be running around with a healed front paw amputation. You know good and well, that there are folks out there calling themselves "trappers", who do stuff like this - but I don't, for a minute, think it's all or most.
