Hi! I'm New

[KYtrapper17]

I'm new to this forum. I post on Graybeards Trapping Forum Quite often. I am 17 and live and trap in central KY. I trap coyotes, coon, and possum mostly, but do pick up a fox, rat, beaver, skunk ever now and then. This year is only my second year trapping and I have been doing pretty good so far. I am still in school, only have about 20 traps and a few snares, have limited land, and a piece of crap truck, and also don't have ALOT of knowledge yet of the trapping life.

Last year I snared 5 coyotes, caught my first red fox and muskrat, and also took a few coons and possums. This year I have snared 7 coyotes, and caught my first yote in a foothold on Christmas Eve[:D].
I have also caught 6 coons and 3 possums. I plan to sell at KY fur takers auction. Does anyone on here go there?

Happy Trapping,
Zach Ellis[^]
