Traps, Tactics and Tough Choices: A Coyote Trapper’s Unfiltered Story

Mr McNasty himself joins us again to discuss predator control: why targeted, preventative work matters for livestock and wildlife, especially during drought and fawn season. The conversation covers the impacts of coyotes, bobcats, wolves and grizzlies on pronghorn and mule deer, and how laws and politics can complicate management. The episode also dives into practical trapping tactics, equipment, mentorship and ethical debates—explaining the landscape of fear, population dynamics, and why hands-off approaches often fail without science-based management. All in all it was just what I expect a conversation with Mr Chilson to be, fun, intelligent, educational and just an absolutely enjoyable time. Check him out on YouTube under McNastys predation management and on Facebook as well. Thank you for joining us Travis.  As always, like, follow and share and feedback is always encouraged.
