Checking the trapline thread.

Got fur?

A couple of Bobcats, and 7 Martin. Lost 2 Martin to lions, and have had 6 near misses with lions. Caught a couple crawling on their belly's in my bobcat sets. Looked like a nuke went off. Only thing in the traps when I arrived was hair.

No luck with the wolves yet, close calls ?

No luck on wolves yet. We have a long season.

Did get lucky on a really nice Tom though.

Very nice...congrats.

Thats a pretty cat shoots. What do you do with them after you get them? Mount, rug...?

 

[Elkmagnet]

Very nice spots on him. Are you getting 700 for them in Mt? He should pay for a lot of gas to run the trap line with.

Nice cat. I'm still getting 0 on the cats this year.

Sell! I've got one full bodied all ready. This is a good one though.

I just noticed I spelled Marten, with an i. Brain farted twice.

 

[chuckyd313]

I didnt realize there is a market for them. I hope you score big on them then.

Dad used to play the futures with his cats. Mom didn't like to open the freezer in the shop. Go figure......

Thats an awesome cat!I'd say thats easy a $7-800 cat.sure would make trapping fun to have big money cats around.We can only take one here and they aren't worth much as the fur quality isn't great;$40.Marten trapping is something I'd love to try too.your very lucky to live where you do for sure;envious

How about an update SS.

Great looking cat I would like to see some more pics also if you have any.

Nice cat! I have a couple of wolf sets out but no luck for me so far. I know two guys that each caught one the first week of the season up here. I believe they were the second and third ones legally trapped in Montana.

 

[shoots-straight]

I haven't had luck on the wolves, yet! Still hopeful. I have done well on bobcats, and Marten. Keeps me in shape.

The Bobcat quota's been filled and so I'll have to pull my traps set for them..

Here's the latest Bob.

 

[spook12]

Good looking cat. Sure hope to see a wolf soon.

Of course It would be understandable if choose not to post pics,but it seems like the photo opps on a wolf set could be awesome if done right.

Congrats on the success so far.

 

[shoots-straight]

Here he is. Really old guy. k-9's are worn down more than half way, really close to the gums.

If I wasn't such a dumb arse I could have shot one too. The pack was bedded back in the timber behind him.

I didn't take my camera for a sight shot, but that's not a big deal. I had to drag him across a river so he has water and snow frozen in. Trust me when I say he is a beaut.

I really thought my sets wouldn't work with the addition of 12" on top of several that were already on top. Thank god at least one worked.

 

[JCS]

Awesome. Show a picture when he's all cleaned up.

Are you pulling your traps or keeping after it?

 

[Dinkshooter]

Man that is cool shoots.
