Trapping

New York State is one of the nation’s top producers of wild furs for the commercial fur trade. New York City remains a center for the production and marketing of fur garments.

Trapping provides important benefits to New Yorkers including: the control of nuisance damage, economic benefits to trappers and people involved in the fur industry, and recreation to trappers.

The 14 species of furbearing animals in New York are abundant and their populations are secure. DEC regulates trapping seasons to ensure the continued security of New York’s furbearer populations.

Trap Check #10 2019 Skinning demo

Well were back out on the line and are still picking up the coyotes! Come along and watch how I skin my coyotes

Nice video of him skinning his 'yote. He had a pretty good season. Of course, don't watch video #11, where he gets kind of skunked potentially for the rest of the season by the ice storm that not only hit New York but also the other side of the lake in Ontario.
