These same trappers that no longer support our trappers association will be the first to complain when we lose more of our trapping privileges because no one will be left to fight for them. That's ok, they'll tell you they're just hobby trappers anyways, doing it for the fun, the money is just a bonus. They can always find another hobby right? Same ole story everywhere. They'll want it fixed once it's broken, but won't lift a finger to maintain it. Those that do stand to do their part, and many times the parts of many others, are examples others should try to follow, if you can.

Cat numbers are way down this year. Our group stopped trapping early this year because we were going quite a few checks between catches. Talked to DWR when we had them tagged, and they said they weren’t getting very many in as well. Some of the DWR employees stopped trapping early this year for the same reason. Last year was the opposite we didn’t have much snow around here and the catch was way up. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t reduce the number of tags next year. Nephi always puts on a good sale. It’s not there fault if the supply is not there. Another thing is the mountain lion population seems to be out of hand around here. Our mtn. Lion population is might high here also too the point they are killing them on the edge of town quotas on lion are way low or unneeded imo.

The number of cats consigned at this time for the Nevada sale is a least 30% down from last year. We had 2,200 cats at the sale last year. Maybe 1,300 this year. That be a bunch in the grand scheme of things coming from there.

While an AR cat doesn't hold a candle to a western cat, y'all have me wondering. If y'all's numbers are down I'm wondering if prices will advance on eastern goods? Now I can't decide whether to hold on to my cats until next fall or go ahead and sell now.

The rabbit population has taken a big nose dive in most of the areas I get into. Pheasants are non existent, chukar numbers are low and I haven’t seen many grouse in my travels so maybe some predators are following suit. Hopefully the down cycle will be short lived if this is the case. I agree the rabbit and chukar numbers are way down as well. The only time we see pheasants is when the DWR releases them during the season.
