Red Dog Road Podcast with Mark Zagger
Red Dog Road Podcast: Mark Zagger is among the most successful and knowledgeable coyote trappers in the country. Who else do you know that averages more than 130 coyotes in a season when the season is only three weeks long? That’s an astonishing six to seven successful sets per day when most trappers would consider that many in an entire season to be pretty good. Mark is just operating at a completely different level and that success led to his founding of Coyote U.
While Mark’s trapping success speaks for itself his talents extend far beyond the trapline and it’s easy to see why he’s accomplished so much. A particularly impressive trait he possesses is a willingness to continue asking questions and learning from others. He talks about the importance of always wanting to learn more in order to stay on top of your game, no matter what it is.
We cover a lot of ground in this show ranging from Mark’s philosophy on hunting, trapping, and the outdoors to the challenges posed by anti hunting and trapping initiatives.

What size screen do you use over your pan?
What are the brand of chap that you use
The brand was Rhino Hide Not sure if they make them anymore. They have to be 20-years old or more.
Those ending pics from previous seasons are just pure Badass!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks man......those pics are largely my "resume"!
@@coyoteu7295 ❤️👊🏻👊🏻
We enjoyed seeing your presentation at Neil Olson's this 2024. Thank you for sharing your passion and skills.
Cool......glad it worked out. Nothing better than going to Neil's!
What part of Western PA are you ?? I grew up in Clarion County PA lived in Virginia now 30+ years. My son lives up there …. Went up to western pa for college married a local gal and never came home. Really interested in going Marks Class.
Whats the heaviest coyote you've ever gotten?
63 pounds. I have only trapped TWO that broke 60-lbs out of thousands. Several over 50 lbs but even those are not as common as one might think. I'd guess I get ONE 50-lb coyote out of every 100 coyotes I catch in NY.
Did u get either of the 60# in a video?
no, I have pictures of one of them and some other 56-58 pounders
Dang surprised u didn't get it mounted thnx for replying and enjoy watching your awesome content
Have u ever tried/used tim wells squeaker for trapping? I think it'd be a cool video if u compared 2 sets one with using the squeaker and one without I'm just getting into trapping and debating on buying one to try it out
Great show you guys rock
This trapper has perfect attitude
With me it not about fur it's about control of a predator that kills live stock and pets kill 4 of 6 fawns in my deer population
Just starting my journey on becoming a Coyote Trapper and found your great video. Im now a fan and plan on watching more and learning more. I like that cap your wearing for sure! Thank you Sir.
great, welcome to the club.......WARNING: it get's addicting! You should consider taking instruction, even if it's NOT Coyote U. It would take 5-10 years off of your learning curve and plenty of schools/instructors out there depending on your needs and/or geography.
Hey Zagman! Just found your videos. No more dogs?
Oh man, NO, I lost both dogs in 2016.....the old man Rusty died in his sleep Jan 2nd and I had to put his son Boone down in August....he got ate up with cancer. Sure miss those dogs, and they helped to build my catch significantly, and to a large degree, put me on the map
@@markzagger5856 2016?! Time flies. Losing both within a year really empties a home. I still have a pile of dogs with chessies and sled dogs. When Steve G's site went dead I lost touch with a lot of fellow trappers. I have a channel called Musher's Tails if you want to see some of my trapping and sledding.
Great video!
I dig the keystone snowshoe hare sign!
Yup, I like signs almost as much as traps!
early 80s i trapped a valley in central Ill. that i checked with binoculars from half a mile away. We had a inch of snow overnight and ill never forget the sight of three red foxes id caught that night. 24 years old at the time about and worked for min. wage I sold those for 75 dollars each back then. Loved that life but fur prices forced me to take a job traveling building golf courses. Got married and never went back. Good memories ive got plenty. i hang cable for yotes around here nowadays from time to time just to keep them out of my chicken coops and for controlling numbers around here a little anyways. you do things right, God bless
a 220 conibear makes a great snapping turtle trap if u like eating turtles
What do you use to shoot them with? Sounds like a .22
.22 LR Quiets by CCI
@@markzagger5856 Thank you kindly!
Do you have a good detailed video showing how you make the pipe dream set with especially how you bed the trap with grass???
Yup...on here! Type Mark Zagger Pipe Dream in the search
I live in west Virginia
Any tips you can help me on I am a frist timer on trapping and would like to know how to catch coyote I been trying and no luck
Set more traps over a bigger area.......its a game of percentages. You need to look at several good sets to catch one or more......
Well I have 42 traps out on land and woods

With the trap covered only with grass, will you still make a catch if the coyote steps on the jaw and not so much of the pan, won’t they feel the jaw ?
Yes, but it won't move since hammered into place, so no issue
@@markzagger5856 Excellent! Thank you. If they step in the space between jaw and the pan will you still catch them?
You don’t cover the trap in dirt?
Nope, just dried yard grass or chopped hay
So your levers stay on top of the ground? You don’t put the levers below surface of the ground?
yes, but I DO hit my hammer at 3 and 9 O'Clock on top of the sod to counter-sink them and let the trap drop a little lower into the bed
@@markzagger5856 Thank you! Do you ever cover your traps in dirt or was that one covered in grass clippings just a different set at that time?
Great podcast, listening on the way to my trap site
thanks.....there are a couple podcasts on here.......all the same, but all different!
@@markzagger5856 I’ll check them out
I caught me first coyote December 31st and got two since Jan 13th and 14th first two was female one went 30.2 pounds other was small both on dirtholes but my third one was on a pipe set 34 pound male thanks buddy
Mark don't the traps ever stick to ground? It looked cold with snow and I did not see u put anything under it?
Yes, but I do use salt which I show in one of the Illinois videos
@@markzagger5856 o OK I did see salt in the video figured u used it I thought u used peat moss to?
Good video 🤠
Thanks......glad you enjoyed it
My challenge in going after coyote, is sub zero weather in Minnesota’s winter, & the all to common, mange.
Winter is tough......I think you guys can use snares there and if that's true, you DO have a great alternative approach vs. using only foot-grabbers
I’ve trapped on & off for years, mainly pocket gopher & other garments, & never yet have I caught a coyote, so here I am, attempting to learn what I can, also 54 years old. I’ve learned a lot of useful methods, just searching on TH-cam! Triangle of death, ziplock baggies, pipe dreams, lures........
It can get confusing as there is SO much information out there compared to when I started in the 70's........so a guy can get confused as to a lot of ways to skin the cat, so to speak. The good news is that its out there for the taking and the discerning trapper will figure out what does and doesn't work for them.
Came here to learn ab trapping coyotes not a life story
watch it again, take notes this time!
How do you deal with the fleas on them yotes sir
fleas and ticks are an issue and I spray them all down in my shop when I unload them with Sawyers and haven't had any issues in years.
nice to see you teaching your skills i got a couple sleeper sets myself but i sure will give this one a shot
I have been trapping coyotes here in West Virginia for 6 years now and this is the first time I have ever heard of you. I will definitely be watching more of your videos. Probably some of the best information I have seen on here about trapping coyotes. Very well done.
Do you live under a rock??? LOL......nah, I am a small-timer when it comes to social media. Many many many trappers are MUCH better than me at promoting their stuff. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words as well!
I'm going to try this pipe set at my current location. It looks like it'll work perfectly
This will be my first year trapping. I’ve got to get traps and start getting them ready. Appreciate your knowledge and passing it down. You might just see me at your U.
With the rain this year, many guys are seeing the value in my Pipe Dream set for sure. Come on up, we'd love to have you! Thanks for the input!
It was great to see you in Lusk Wyoming last year
Likewise! Hope to make it again in '22!
Great stuff. I used the pipe dream set exclusively last year and used a quarter of the bait I would usually use. In CT we have similar climate and this definitely turned into my go to. What kind of .22 was that?
Glad its working out......I have multiple dispatch .22's so I have to go back and watch it to see which one you are talking about
Great video keep up the good work
great interview.
Great video i have been trapping in a 5 mile circle off a side by side i run double and triple traps at each set i mostly use gland lure and urine most of the year i have found that saving my own glands and aging them with good urine . I use very little food bait one of my best things ive found to use is blood i collect while my family butcher shop i get several buckets of fresh blood each day that i freeze and make a liquid bait from believe me i dont go chase them they come to the farms im trapping ive went from 25 a year to 80 to 90 coyotes off these 5 farms that are huge beef cattle farms i cant understand how they keep coming in such numbers
wow great vid bubby...........loved it
Glad you liked it!
Sick, cruel bastards
It’s been 3 years and you’re still so gay
California literally destroying themselves from inside out with idiotic laws. Vote for Democratic party is a vote for failure.
What size pipes are those
One inch INSIDE diameter gray PVC conduit.....9-10 inches long
What size trap do you use for Coyote.
Those are Jake traps....I'd assume the size of MOST #3-sized traps on the market
Love watching mark trap but dam are those some ugly coyotes
Well, that FIRST one is...the rest ain't THAT bad! LOL
Hey Mark can you tell me where i can buy steel screen ? i also live in new york
NO-BS Lures has the stuff I like.....Keg Creek Lures has a stiffer version as well
Can you recommend some NY legal leg holds. I know the bridger #2 is legal with 5 3/4 Jaw spread. Any suggestions much appreciated
You can used a #3 Bridger as well as long as you INSIDE laminate the jaws to decrease the inside jaw spread. NO BS Traps are also very popular. What ever you choose I'd go dog less, center-swiveled, laminated, offset jaws. Stalker Fabrications has a website and the can do modifications for you, including laminations and baseplates for center swiveling
do u use grass clippings to cover trap all the time? even if your set is in a field?
I assume you mean in a dirt field like a corn field? Because my sets are largely in HAY fields. So, I ONLY use grass if its a hay field. In the woods I use leaves instead of grass, and in corn fields I'd probably NOT make a pipe set, but rather a dirt hole with peat moss OR if dry enough and warm enough, just the dirt excavated at the set
@@markzagger5856 ok thanks for the info!!
I’ve always had respect for Mark Zagger based on your reputation from other people’s comments; however, seeing the passion and authenticity in your video only increases my respect towards you. I’d be your best trapping companion! I hammer foxes, coon, and possums, but the coyote eludes me. I even catch more bobcats than coyotes. Great video and evolution of the timeless flat set!
Thanks, glad you liked it. Come on up to Coyote U.....and I will lie to you about how many possums and coons I catch! LOL
I don't know that anyone else has mentioned it but why do you use a rifle instead of maybe a small pistol, 22-caliber when you dispatch?
More accurate (sometimes they don't hold still!) AND it doesn't hurt my ears like a pistol!
