It's been quite a few years since Donna and I trapped together as a team, but because we stopped selling retail this year, she now has time to go trapping! She hasn't forgot how to put fur in the buggy or truck. She say's it's like; "Riding a bike."

First night dog and bobcat and then another nice bobcat today.

Plus, boy do I eat better in the evenings when we return to the bunkhouses. No more microwave cuisine!

Rick,

Thank you sir. I have 4 weeks off from Seminary studies and the Mrs. and I are spending quality time together like any couple does = trapping!
We have 3 ranches lined up during this time and we're just hoping for clear weather, cooler temps, and a spiff of wind (nothing crazy).

Merry Christmas Rick!
Mark

Hodagtrapper, thank you for the kind words of blessing. Merry Christmas brother.

Tac20 - typical south Texas weather this time of year. Freeze in the morning with high humidity to boot (100% today) and fry your bacon and dry in the afternoon. You bring layers for the daily clothing ritual of "peeling" as you go. Plus we work out of a Kawasaki mule and that's a bit nippier than a truck as you might expect.
Thanks for the good luck! To you as well in the heartland.

Mark

Thanks y'all. I'll keep posting a bit as Donna reels 'em in. I gotta admit, she made her first few sets after not having steel in the ground in a few years and it was pretty cool. She asked, "what do you think, does it look ok?" and I just smiled with hubby pride. "Yah babe" I told her, "that'll work just fine." She got the set in the ground quick too.

A few sets down the road, she's looking at my set as I finish up and she mentions, "you might want to grab that little piece of grass and open that up a bit." Good eye Billy! Good eye!
She's got an eye for fencing that it seems you either have or you don't... she does and that's a good thing. Showing the critter where to step is critical.
So we'll continue today and for the next three and a half weeks on this and two more ranches after we pull here.

Dahlgren, man we might make it make up to the UP. We love you folks. Feels like home when we're there, let me tell ya brother. Let's do some FISHING!

Wheelers, thank you and happy birthday, you old beaver trapper you.

As Ma weather can do sometimes, we got enough hard rain during the night to bugger the sets/dirt, so we had coyotes and bobcats standing "firm" on the sets.
So today we got busy busy and relured the line as necessary, pulled all traps from their trap beds, shook the Texas cement out of them... and put in another dozen sets to boot.

Donna was having fun working on sets!"
