Summary "Hints on Wolf and Coyote Trapping" by Stanley P. Young is a practical guidebook published in the early 20th century, specifically in 1930. As a scientific publication, the book addresses the necessary methods for trapping predatory animals, focusing primarily on wolves and coyotes, which are known to threaten livestock and game populations in the United States. Young, serving as the Principal Biologist in Charge of the Division of Predatory-Animal and Rodent Control, provides insights based on his expertise in wildlife management and control. The book lays out detailed strategies and methodologies for effectively trapping these cunning animals, emphasizing the importance of understanding their behaviors and habits. Young discusses the use of specific types of traps, optimal locations for setting them, and the significance of scent in attracting the predators to the traps. He also provides tactical advice on how to disguise traps to avoid spooking the animals while stressing the need for cleanliness and the careful selection of bait. Overall, this guide serves as an essential manual for landowners and trappers facing challenges from these predatory species, aiming to mitigate their impact on agriculture and wildlife conservation.
