Awesome trav. Gus gets right into to it. What he do when you say go get that coyote lol. I know what monty does, gets excided.

He gets excited and wants out when we have a coyote. He runs over there but keeps his distance.

Good looking dog Trav not sure about the mutt on the right. Lol

How's the season going? You need to catch some cats so I can get my fix. Gus looks a lot bigger then when I seen him in Lewiston.

Ha ha Les you are right on that analogy. Season is going better than normal so far. I actually think the dog helps putting his scent out there around the sets. I start on cats tomorrow. You will get your fix......I hope. Gus might be a little bigger than when you saw him but not much.

I caught another cat where I caught the last one. Sophie wasn't on a leash this time. She knows what bobcat claws are now. This pic was after she got tangled up with the cat.

Took a pic of my 10 month old Rhodesian facing down a male coyote that was waiting for me on the line today. Wish I could upload.
Not savvy enough. I can text it to someone if they want to post it.

Cool pictures. I've never taken my golden retriever trapping when I knew I'd have something. I worry about her getting the coyote excited, fighting a coyote, or stepping in a trap if she doesn't listen. (She'll normally listen, but it'd be annoying if she didn't.) She already got caught once when my brother went by the traps and she couldn't resist.
Is there any benefit to taking a dog along, other than companionship? (I don't use drags so no tracking for me.)

A dog to me is an asset on a canine line. They will show you scent marks that would not ordinarily catch your eye. If you know what to watch for you can even get a good idea as to whether it was a male or female that left the scent. If male they will smell the bush, tree or rock the target peed on then mark it themselves. If it was a female my dogs will smell the spot on the ground where the female speed and often scratch that spot then smell again then leave a little squirt on top of the spot. Instant location.

Nice mcrobinson. Sophie has sand if she tangled with a cat and still stands her ground.

Snapped this pic of Gus watching me rebuild a coyote set the other day.

I'm a springer fan, I love to bird hunt and love to trap even more, they'll do anything to please you and don't leave your side. May not be the top choice but for my two needs they work perfect for me. Some great pics on this thread. Can't beat a good trapline dog!

JP, you shouldn't work them dogs so hard, their tongues are hanging out!

Meet Mavrik. It was a cold one this morning. Didn't take a pic of myself, but I looked about the same.

German shorthaired pointer named Trapper
Just over a year old now turning into a great dog.

I think she'll turn out to be a good dog. She's nine months now. She's still young. We caught a red fox on the last check in the same location as the 2 cats and grey fox. She ran right in and got ahold of that red fox too. She seems to be aggressive on with animals we catch. She is a sweetheart to my 4 year old boy and 7 month old boy at home though. She has been caught in my traps twice. I'm hoping that's all that's needed but I imagine she'll get caught again.

Here is the pic of cmcf's dog with a coyote. Cool pic. How do you like that vest on your dog?

Love it it's a Carhart.Have one for each dog. I am going to have nylon one inch webbing and a buckle sewn on the Velcro straps as a backup. They bust brush aggressively and the Velcro just won't hold. Thanks again for posting the pic.

Caught 3 bobcats Saturday and Gus got his share of baying at them.

That is a beautiful cat judging by the sides and front legs hope I have a couple when I check tomorrow. Thanks Trav. mcrobinson got my pic posted. Hard to beat a good dog.
