I ran into Patrick Carney Idaho Trappers Association. Tell me what goes on in the mind of a trapper? What do people like about trapping? Matching wits with the animals. You have to learn all of their behaviors and habitats. So it's not just a simple as setting a trap and putting it anywhere. There is a strategy to it. Absolutely. You're trying to catch the biggest animals. Sometimes you try to catch the males. Sometimes you try to catch all of them whether it's coyotes or a beaver. Sometimes you have to set there to catch a specific animal without attracting a dog. I was just an Eagle where some people who were building expensive houses were worried about beavers chewing up their work so I went out and set the trap and got the beaver without hurting any dogs or cats. A lot of times with coyotes around people let their cat or dog out of the house and never see them again.
