Season is officially over. Here’s our catches minus a half dozen grey fox, 5 kit fox, 8 muskrats, and 6 badgers. Prices are low on cats but it is what it is. I figure I’d be out in the mountains anyways and at least with trapping I can cover my cost. We will take the next month off to relax...
Check out top lot streachers. there coyote/cat stretcher is awesome. The nose of them need to be sanded a little and I like to shave 1/4" from each side in the neck area of the stretcher for my cats. Doesn't have to be done, but that's always where cats hang up while being put on the...
So I’m behind two trap checks. The last check my cat streak ended but I still caught 2 fox and a badger. When I moved those traps last Saturday, I decided to move them further from the road to see if I could get some more size. I can tell the closer areas had been trapped because I’ve only...
I've tried a lot of different mouth calls for coyotes. My favorite was one I made. I left to go hunting for coyotes but realized I grabbed the wrong lanyard. It was my waterfowl one. I was already at my first spot. Then I got to thinking, maybe I could use my duck call. I had a nice one I...
Our luck streak is still going. We had our mid week night check and were able to pick up a big grey fox and beautiful bobcat. She was a smaller bobcat but still has a nice belly. I talk about it a little at the end of my new semi live trapping video on YouTube, but I'm not a huge advocate for...
Well today is one for the books. It’s been a bit slow for cats the last two and a half weeks. My longest dry spell for cats this season. Well today they made up for it. 3 bobcats in one day!!!!! Also picked up 2 grey fox and a bonus badger. Long night of skinning tonight.
My smallest is 44” and the longest is 52” (the one i just caught.) My biggest ever was a 58” yote I trapped while going to school in Idaho. I was too long for the wire stretcher (it was before I switched to wood stretchers). 48 is a very good sized yote.
haha and I don’t have a barn so I’ll...
Still no bobcats. I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to get anymore this season. Even if I don't, this has been my season living down here. I've only had one check getting skunked, and have been pretty consistent on individual species. I also have a veriety of fur for the sale. More than...
Once again the cats didn’t come out to play, but the grey fox did and finally a coyote. Our coyotes down here are normally flat and dark, but I guess we do have a few good ones around.
