Any trappers of furry beast on here?

[Big Fin]

Have you thought about doing an episode on trapping?

Have thought about it, but not sure how to work that in with a hunting show sponsored by hunting companies. But, think I can work in a segment or two, in some of the hunting episodes.

What's a bobcat fur worth guys?

Depends, but the last few years, $300 would be on the low side and $800 would be on the high side.

300 to 800 Not bad. I remember in the 80's I could get 50 dollars for coon and fox unskinned.

Those prices are for good western Bobcats. You might get $100 for a cat here in Texas.

I would have thought there would be more trappers! I can't wait for the season to start. Anybody else have some pictures of there trap line?

Trapped coons/muskrats/mink/fox/yotes as a kid (Pennsylvania). Just tinker around now for fun a week or two every other winter. Taught my buddies kids and nephews now they do most of the predator control. Really miss it.

Caught 3 or 4 yotes at this set behind building at work...



A pair of chicken eaters one morning at the neighbors...



3 cats (smaller) from same set one year - and 2 the following year...
