Buddy stopped by for some cat supplies he wanted to see my tom from the other day so I opened the freezer and it’s barely frozen there’s still ice around the walls of the freezer but things were starting to thaw some yikes. Pulled the 2 cats out and fired up the spare freezer and got that going right away the other cat from last year was froze solid under my elk hide. Nothing great in there mostly cat carcasses, snakes and some other baits a few coon pelts.
One less thing plugging up my shop but now I don’t have a spare it could have been worse like if it was summer. The last time I had liquid beavers and skunks this is no biggie I’d hate to lose my cats.
This is as good as it gets! Fantastic Sam and good on you for getting them outside and now allowing them to waste away on electronics.
Just a thought, but just by mentioning that Dead Coyote, Pellethead and I had anything at all to do with this suggests that the cat likely was nearly blind and possibly severely retarded.
Thanks Mike for this thread. I have a life time of trapline pictures and they do no good just setting in my computer and phone so here is another oddity in the woods
There is an area that every winter it would heave up and I could drive over the humps. This year though something was different and it heaved up and broke the ice into chunks and deposited these ice chunks on the ice. This was the only time this happened. The force to break the ice into chunks is unbelievable and really odd.
Nice!! Welcome to the forum! I've only ever caught one, and yeah I guess the only advice I can offer is keep doing the same thing! More sets = more catches as long as they're in the right spot and you made em correctly. Congrats on the catch! And Tight Chains!
just caught my first yote. Now all I think about is catching coyotes LOL.
I would like some tips on catching more.
I am an older Trapper and that’s pretty much what I live for. Develop good habits on the trapline . Bed traps solid .Study the animals habits . Become a student of the coyote. What part of Louisiana are you from.
I always peal the hide off the Sweets before baking. They are easier to handle without burning your fingers and then the outside gets a kinda chewy caramelized skin that goes down good.
Ill see which of the reveal models I use and post it when I get them home. First model i bought didn't work for coyotes. I will say there is a big difference between them just getting picks of coyotes passing by and coyotes working a set. The coyotes are way more cautious and sensitive when they are working a set.
