What we have down here, that I guess a lot of folks in other parts of the country don’t have, are landowners that manage their properties for habitat and predators. That’s pretty cool in my book! We text about every morning when running our lines before work. What some will find interesting is he called me first and asked if “I cared if he started trapping and making some money at it?” He then told me he’d have them call me and I could trap that place if I wanted since I got him started in it. He recently picked up a fairly large parcel of land and is now getting paid. He also has a full time job and does it on the side. I showed him what I know and gave recommendations on what I use and he took the ball and ran with it. I had a buddy call from the Southern part of the county and wanted to learn to trap. I can only hit so many properties during season working a full time job, but really make my money on coons/possums during the Spring/Summer months. I know several “full time trappers” down here that I guess you’d call “professionals” and have as much work as they can handle. Word of mouth spreads amongst landowners down here, especially when your turkey hunting buddy is the tax accessor. Haha, some of us got “voluntold” we were going to start trapping a property and actually caught critters.

Coyote hunting should be for a season of no longer than ninety days, and the hunting of coyotes by night should be prohibited.Tests that show a large canid is a wolf should be investigated to see if other wolves remain in the area where the animal was killed. Wild canids that are taken that have a weight greater than 50 pounds or that meet additional criteria established by the Department should be subjected to a DNA analysis. ![]() As part of the coyote season reform, all wild canids taken in the state should be checked and tagged.Hunters can kill as many coyotes as they please. Currently, it’s a 6-month season with 24 hour a day hunting, with no daily or seasonal bag limits. The coyote hunting season should be reformed.Peter Bauer of the Adirondak Almanack provided updates on the “Cooperstown” wolf and offered these sensible changes that will help prevent another accidental killing of a wild wolf: Dramatically changing coyote hunting regulations is a main focus.

In the matter of four or five decades, the last in our region was dead. In fact, when many men returned from the Civil War, the bounty placed on Gray Wolves paid for the new homestead. “The History of Allegany County,” by Hazel Shear, describes how our ancestors approached predator species like the Gray Wolf: They inihalated them.
